well i was trying to wild a while a go and wen i get that rush over me my heart rate jumps... i know its coming but my mind always becomes more aware, so if im counting i just stop and go like: whoa... then the paralisis feeling goes away...
also one time, i got past that part, and i saw these really bright point flashes of light ??? it was completely dark in my room...
is that the hypnogogic imagery?
