You will know it when you get close. Hypnagogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis are very physical and intense. They don't always occur, but if they do, it will be a wild ride. |

Well I was attempting my first WILD last night and I felt like I got close. I had begun sleep paralysis, although it wasn't complete my moving defiantly was slowed. I almost felt something like the beginning of hallucinations also; I had felt woozy and like the room was almost spinning a bit. Anyways I was wondering if you more experienced dreamers could tell me if this is relatively close to the beginning of a WILD. The unfortunate thing is that I lost focus over my breaths and fell out of the trance like state pretty soon after. Any help is appreciated. |

you hear a crazy loud buzzing. |

Nah strawberry, no buzzing. What Robot_Butler said sounds about right to me. |

Sleep paralysis isn't a slow process, because it only happens as soon as you enter REM sleep. During the sleep stages before REM, you'll feel your body going numb and relaxed. Suddenly, when the sleep paralysis strikes, you'll experience strong vibrations, a sense of pressure over your body and a total inability to move. And as STrawberry said, it's very common to hear loud sounds (which I do almost every time). If you manage to stay calm during sleep paralysis, and forget about your body, you'll end up in a lucid dream within seconds. But, sleep paralysis is an overwhelming feeling, so it can take a few tries to get used to it. |
