Thread: Thinking about trying to WILD again..

I'm thinking about trying to WILD again, but last time I tried it was not a very pleasant feeling. I got "sleep paralysis" which was pretty scary for me and I decided to stop. Does anyone have any tips for not freaking out at that stage of WILDing?

Thanks,
Logan

Nothing but keep calm and know it's all fake. It can be pretty amusing, especially when you get HI of a rainbow colored man with a top hat and a cane.

Alright, thanks I'll probably try again tonight and see if I can overcome my fear this time.

I got pretty scared of it once too, but just try again maybe you´ll get some great results!

Hi Logan, I haven't tried any induction techniques for lucid dreams, but I have had a scary experience with sleep paralysis, one in which I woke up with my face fully stuffed in my pillow, and I couldn't move! Or breathe! Fortunately, I had just re-read Jeremy Taylor's book _Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill_, and he had suggested moving fine motor muscles. The large muscle groups are frozen during sleep paralysis. So, I tried twitching an eyebrow, and that instantly released the paralysis. I think I read that at just the right time!

So remember, twitch an eyebrow, others have said wiggle a toe... something small should release it.

It doesn't always happen, just try again. You might learn to love SP, it's like a roller coaster
