First off, hello! I'm new. :3

I believe I've been close to WILD several times in the past before I had even read anything about lucid dreaming. The things I experienced tally up; sometimes when extremely exhausted physically, but not actually tired, I would lie on my bed to rest. What followed scared the hell out of me as I didn't understand it at the time. My whole body would begin to vibrate or shake, then it felt like I was falling through my matress whilst entering a backwards flip.. best way I can explain it I guess :/

Anyway, I figured perhaps my best plan of action if I want to get into lucid dreaming is to try the WILD method since I seem to experience this occasionally without trying.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong. Sleep paralysis in itself does not scare me. I've also read that if stressed over the fact your mind may conjure up images of demons or apparitions then it is more likely to happen. To be honest I think I could handle this. What I could NOT handle, is if the apparition takes the shape of what you are stressing about. Let me elaborate; my dumb imagination decided to think of the worst possible outcome for me, which is Samara (The Ring) appearing on my bed. Now I can't get that thought out of my head, and it's really putting me off trying this method. That movie scared the hell out of me, and real or not, it would give me a heart attack if I saw her.

But yes, I just wanted to ask if this is the case; is your mind most likely to conjure up an image of whatever is most prominent in your thoughts during sleep paralysis?

And yes i'm aware this is a very odd first post :p
