Almost succeeded in a WILD?

**logank9** · 10-06-2008 08:38 PM

OK, well I had my first real WILD attempt last night, ( I realized I could not do it after I woke up and tried it a few times, so I have to do it at night ) and I either was doing it very, very, VERY wrong or know now why people think they are scary.

So I used the technique where you go, breath in, one, breath out, I'm dreaming, breath in, two, breath out, I'm dreaming, etc. After I got to ~100 I started getting this feeling going up my body like everything was getting REALLY, REALLY, heavy and I could barely move unless I really tried, ( sleep paralysis? ) and then I got this weird feeling like my body was being pushed and pulled to each side and that my bed was rotating in every direction. Now this is what I'm concerned about: My eyes felt like they were violently twitching and I couldn't stop it. I figured this was normal, so then I stopped counting, and sure enough it was much easier to concentrate. So I went on like that for a while... Until I kind of saw colors forming, I don't remember anything after that. Could someone give me a bit of advice? Thanks in advance!

Come on guys, any tips for me? What was I doing wrong? I didn't remember ANY of my dream =/

That's kinda what happened to me when I tried last night for the first time. It was kinda scary. I didn't make it past that either.

the 'reposition' feeling can
be very strong to the point that it is almost painful trying to ignore
it. I am personally glad it's intense because that makes it impossible
to miss.

sounds like me that you are on your way to a WILD everyones bodies are different to sleep maybe your eyes just twitch or maybe you were in REM sleep

OK, thanks reeses ^^

So now I know I'm doing the first part right. Well... I guess I'll just have to practice a bit more tonight. Thanks!!

what happened was you lost conciousness (sorry for my bad spelling) during the WILD and your brain fell asleep. as for the eye twitching that usually happens when you enter the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep.
