I tried to WILD this morning for the first time ever after a WBTB. And while it wasn't ultimately successful, the initial stages went off without a hitch. I was still, listening to white noise. I quickly got what I think was sleep paralysis. Not sure. I wasn't actually paralyzed I don't think. Rather it was more like a feeling that my body was disconnected and would be unresponsive if I tried to move it. I got a little hypnogogic imagery with the sound. And then, very quickly, I enter into a sort of visualization state that is very dreamlike. It all moves along really efficiently, except that every single time (and I did it like 4 times) the onset of the actual dreamlike state comes along hand in hand with a loss of conscious awareness that I want to stay lucid. Everything works great and is actually pretty easy for me except that last crucial step. Gonna have to work on that.
