Thread: Introduction and WILD Side Effects

Yeah it happens to everyone, every time you sleep, except we are always unconscious when it happens, so we are not used to it in the beginning when we actually make it happen. I really don't know what the problem is, sleeping should NOT be that intense for you.

Ok, good...I'm totally new to this and I was kind of afraid I'd messed up my brain or something. If it happens to everyone though, it must be ok.

I got almost no sleep that first night and I think because of that I kind of overreacted. Past two nights have been fine, though. Thanks for clearing that up

You might find it weird to begin with, but it becomes really relaxing (might get the odd nerve jolt or itch, but if you ignore those you're on your way).

Yeah man the first few times i experienced it, i was terrified, i had no idea wtf was happening. Now that i nkow what it is and why we have it, it isnt scary anymore, and i actually welcome it because it is one of the best ways to get into a dream.

Cool; I've heard several people say stuff like that now. I guess I just have to get over myself and keep trying it until I'm comfortable with it. Thanks!

Well, I know how you feel. Once I felt a full blown earthquake in my bed. And I couldn't help but think when I broke off from SP:

"That's what they call a MINOR hallucination?"

Well, either way, now that I know what it is, I'm not all that afraid of it. I did one WILD (by accident. I was attempting MILD, lol) and I skipped all the hallucinations and every side effect of SP and just blinked into a dream.

I was like 'WTF? I was just awake RIGHT NOW, I swear!"

So it's only when I wake up to SP do the halluciantions start feeling...a little out of hand. Natural Occurance, but still scary as hell.
