I need some feedback, please.

Greetings,
I have recently started WBTB. I sleep six hours, come in here and read posts, listen to LD tracks, etc. I want to try WILD. My first attempt was last night. After going back to bed, I laid as still as possible and tried to focus my thoughts on having a lucid dream. I was pretty shocked by the reaction. I started vibrating, which I suppose is what's supposed to happen, and I had a weird feeling of trying to leave my body. That's all cool and I'm glad it happened, but it seems like when it was happening, as I focused on it, it went away and didn't come back and I eventually just turned over and went to sleep and remember nothing till the alarm went off.
Was I being overeager in focusing on the physical sensations? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

You entered sleep paralysis. That is the first step of the WILD.

Next time you feel the vibrations try and focus on what you were before, keeping you mind awake, or else you'll just fall asleep.


Good luck!:)

lol zoo york is cool, your user title says "who's that cute doggy" but it's coke! :chuckle:

I agree with zoo york, it was SP. If I haven't welcomed you already, :welcome:!

I think i'll go with the others and say that was Sleep Paralysis.
It's nothing to be feared, Just remember to keep alert.. Not too alert, But alert.

Otherwise you'll just sleep like any other night.
