as far as the stories I've heard, they manifested from a cultural belief. im filipino, and my dad used to tell me stories of death while sleeping, called bangungot in tagalog. heres a link to it. http://www.answers.com/topic/bangungot

apparently its related to a sudden unexpected death syndrome? the way they describe the feeling of falling is unbelievably accurate to my experiences that its way too eerie! that there is the source of my fear.
If this happens to you, it doesn't really matter if you're trying to WILD or not. Either way you'd enter SP, and this could happen to you. So I wouldn't stop trying to WILD because of that.
