This is called Sleep Paralysis.

It's not harmful in any way, in fact it's actually good to your body, so don't be scared.

I love that feeling. I've had it once or twice in my life by pure accident. It's always so freaky, but still so awesome...kinda like being in free fall. ^_^

Yeah, I'd agree that it's probably SP, and nothing to fear. Actually, it may be a good sign that you'd be skilled at the WILD method.

Nah, it's Sleep Paralysis (SP) like the others said.

Try this technique then.

cheers for the help guys, it's a really scary feeling.. i'll induce this sinking feeling again tonight and see if I feel ok enough for it to carry on past the blacking out stage. The weird thing is is that i can make this happen when ever i want and im wide awake. when i do this i dont see any pictures its just blackness, at the transation from the rooom spinning voilently to the sinking feeling I fight the sensation and open my eyes as quickly as i can with absulte panic.

all the guides i have read on here it seems that sp happens once you're about to fall asleep, but mine is just simply closing eyes faced down and imagining the room spinning...

I also have very horrific nightmares where i'm dreaming and objects in my room start to shape into odd faces. I dont want to make this WILD gift thing i have to amplify these scary visions.

SP is when you lay still for a a while. Don't move a muscle.

And that's why I'm scared.. I'm not dreaming I am wide awake!

Its not a good sign as it sounds like spirit possesion & control which makes the body heavy & person lazy,feeling tired or sleepy all the time,lack of concentration etc(all felt during normal daytime activitys). Dont lie on your face when you sleep & try sleeping on your right side or face the ceiling when you sleep & drink plenty of milk mixed with honey regularly before bedtime,also never wear black clothing at bedtime & try to wear white clothing,if you want to know more,e-mail me & i will be more than happy to help further.

lol

Interesting I have the same thing I think as soon as I heard about dream views I tried to WILD as soon as I went to bed
then I started seeing neon windmills and hearing slimy sounds on my window, then I moved on accident and it stopped. I think it was SP?
I don't know but I only had one LD and that was when I was 7 but ya try to power through it and instead of knowing your past experiences with inducing SP were scary your expecting scary just try to think of a nice mellow valley or bunnies or whatever hope I helped

Holy Necro-post Batman!

Beware: if a thread is over a year old, please do not reply to it--just make a new thread next time. Also, hypnogagic hallucinations are not due do demonic spirits or possession. People see and hear hallucinations based on who they are and how they're feeling. For example, after watching a marathon of zombie flicks I might hear zombies groaning as I'm close to falling asleep. This is completely normal.
