Thread: I want to learn this !!

I know many people know the "Trip and fall" mini dream, where one is tired but not quite asleep, and you are walking and you trip and fall, or fall of a cliff, or get hit by a train (yeah they've all happened to me) and as soon as you land (or w/e) your suddenly awoken by a rushed feeling... i had no idea this was connected to SP (Right?) In fact tonight i was planning on doing a WILD tonight (Tomorrow morning..) but when this happens i cant help but sit up or open my eyes... is there any mindset or... anything... that would help with this?

Well those sensations do sound like sleep paralysis, look up "hypnic jerks" in particular. If you think this will bother you during WILD, I'd try to view it as sort of the gateway into WILDing and a lucid dream, and say just get as much practice as possible. I can never WILD but I have read a lot about it on the forums, and I think if you just get enough experience to the point where you are comfortable with SP, you will be able to get through it without disturbing your WILD.

Wait a minute... so having the feeling of falling while asleep is an OBE? If it is I think I had one.
