Thread: seeing things when i close my eyes... not sleeping yet...

The images you see when falling asleep sound like HI. This is normal and it happens every night to everyone, but you usually don't notice it since you are usually asleep by the time that it happens. Probably since your WILD you started seeing HI more often. As for the random pains and numbness, I don't think its anything that was caused by your WILD. I would see your doctor about those problems.

But in the end, it's all up to you. It's your body.

enlighten me please.. i m worried..

Ok, first off...it's not anything needing some eastern-religion-like 'enlightenment'! Don't listen to anyone who tells you you're getting in touch with some hindu god...for one thing that's wrong, but for another thing, it's waaaaay over-reacting.

I had a similar experience with my first WILD. It seemed pretty serious to me at first too, but I ended up getting over it after a few days by just facing my fear of WILDing. I saw that eye as well, a lot of times when I wasn't even asleep, and it scared me at first, but then I started to just stare back at it and eventually it didn't bother me to have it there. I also didn't try to lucid dream again for a couple days and just catch up on lost sleep, because even when I was sleeping, it wasn't deep enough to make me recover. I plugged in headphones for a couple nights and left a light on to keep my mind distracted and unafraid, and pretty soon I was back to sleeping like normal and I could conquer my WILD fear on more reasonable terms. I never went to a doctor or anything, but like Conzo said, that part is your choice.

Last of all, the most important thing I did was pray to Jesus Christ for peace and comfort. If you want to say something about my beliefs, send me a PM; don't do it in this thread, as this is not the place for a discussion like that and I will not respond to you here. I'm just saying that this is the #1 thing that solved the physical side effects and the mental fear for me.

Hope this helps ya!

seeing colors and shit in your closed eyelids is called hypnogogic imagery, it happens to everybody as we fall asleep, so you dont need to waste a trip to the doctor over something thats natural. as for remembering all your dreams, congratulations, thats what many of us here strive to do so that we can remember our lucid dreams. many of us use a dream journal to increase our dream recall but if its natural for you then thats pretty awesome.

I'd say your first WILD attempt feaked you out, causing a chain of events...we all have hallucinations every night, wether we remember them or not. I've also had that strange sensation on my head, sometimes like a pressure in the middle of my forhead, when attempting WILD.

You're fear of your first night probably led to the next days of it, because expectation usually leads to what your expecting, and caused all your anxiety. The first night I tried WILD (actually, to tell the truth, unintentionally), I refused to sleep without the light on, because I was so terrified of my hallucinations. I slipped in and out of sleep the entire night (though I never intended on falling asleep again in the first place).

If you calm down your fear of WILDing, then this could become a great oppurtunity for inducing LDs. Yeah, I know, easier said then done

i m taking...like 7 tablets every day.. and i feel better then those starting days...so is there any way i can deal with it, enjoy it or something so it wont bother me... and yea ones i tried to not ignore it but concentrate on it and see the images i see more clearly but then again i started felling numb and that sensation again occurred in my forehead and my left leg..... and one more thing that is bothering me is that i keep on waking my self for more then 5 times every night.... i just cant tell you guys in words what i m experiencing its far more then strange.. that how my time during night passes... its like the speed of light.. the one moment i check my clock its 3am and just after a sec or 2 when i check my clock again its 5am... ... may be i m sleeping or something like that.... but i m normal in my day time, i have fun with my friends my family... i have sex, i drink [not regularly] i enjoy.. but the moment i go to my bed for sleeping, creeps my out... Shocked

7 tablets of what? Could that be your problem?

Well, this ought to be expected, since you seem to be fighting against entering Sleep Paralysis. It comes over you every night when you enter certain stages of sleep, but now that you've actually felt it and are fighting against it, you probably are subconsciously waking yourself up whenever you feel the onset of SP.

thank you guys..

well the tablets i m taking are..

motival
xylor
serc
mathycobal

m taking the above tablets twice a day.. and one other [ i dnt remember the name ] at night for sleeping...and i m 20 years old boy..
