Thread: is this SP? and why didnt it work??

well, i decided to try to wild during a nap about an hour ago. I calmed down and medidated (attpempted a little) and then i went to my normal sleeping position. Now i could still hear the t.v in the living room but it was really low (could this affect me?)
I stayed completely still without moving a muscle, and i just breathed in and out for like 5 minutes to calm down even more. but i couldnt keep my eyes from moving everyonce in a while. Then when i was really calm i started thinking a...apple... b... beatle ect. (the alphabet then a word)
after a while my body started getting heavy and numb, but i still couldnt completely stop my eyes from moving, i just kept looking around once a while. After getting numb, i stayed like that for like 20 minutes, sometimes getting images in my head, then after 20 minutes i started seeing little moving blobs of greenish colors just appearing and leaving. it stayed like that for a little but then i had to swallow and i couldnt ignore it so i swallowed. The blobs stayed then my heart started beating really fast for some reason and then went back to normal, then the blobs went away after like 30 seconds, and i was just numb again but i felt more awake. So i just stayed calm and continued, but then my brother turned on the light in the other room and it made my room brighter, and my eyes just darted all over the place moving around quickly until he turned the light off (about 30 seconds) and then i was still numb, but my mom came and moved me and woke me up -.-.....

this happens everytime i try to wild. I just feel numb and start seeing blobs and they go away and feel awake, and try again, but never success..

was that SP, and why didnt anything happen? my mom says i was asleep for 1 hour. So am i doing something wrong? why cant i transition from this to a lucid dream?

I don't think that's SP. The way I see it, if you aren't sure if it was SP or not, it probably wasn't. That doesn't hold true for everyone, but usually SP happens all at once, and you'll feel a sudden jolt and then you'll be tingly all over. Also, the blobs of colour is what is called hypnagogic imagery. I can get that just closing my eyes and staying still for a minute, and people all get the blobs of colour when they lay down.

So, no. I don't think it was SP, but keep trying. I used to create a "fake" SP similar to what you described, and I always wondered if it was SP or not, but one morning I actually got SP, and I knew right away that that's what I had. What ever you do though, don't stop trying. You'll get there.

hmm..OK
so i guess I'm doing something wrong
gonna try again tomorrow and hopefully it'll work

o, what would help me from moving my eyes too much? because i cant seem to keep them still

also why do you think im not getting sp's after 1 hr? this is like my 10th try
thanks

Try sitting in your room with the lights out for 30 minutes before laying down and trying the WILD. That's what I've read, anyway. As far as why you're not progressing any further...could be keeping your mind too busy. You want to be aware, yes...but too much activity may hinder you from going to SP and LD.

Ok, I diddent want to spam the fourms with a new thread that will just be ansered ine one post, (god I hate spelling) but does swallowing break the WILD prosses, as in getting to the actual WILD?
