      First WILD on Accident

      I think I had my first WILD a couple of days before learning about LD. Well I was taking an afternoon nap just in bed with the lights on, and I kinda started feeling my body drift, like if you floated in the middle of the sea. Anyway, little lights were kinda popping up in my head and I don't know if I experienced any auditory things, because I have a fan in my room and I like to concentrate on the "whirring" sound to fall asleep. Well then things got scary, I wanted to wake up but found that I couldn't move!!! I started trying to open my eyes but it was like I couldn't really see anything even if I did. I fought it and fought it, I was really freaked out I didn't know what was going on. But finally I battled my way out of it and awoke. Don't know if I felt those vibrations or even if this was a WILD at all?

      WOW nice YEs that was wild and then you experienced sleep paralisis (one of the stages of wild) it means your body has fallen asleep and now you can enter dreamstate easily and become lucid somehow im not that experienced too i cant get passed vibrations. But this is a jumpstart to WILD'ing for you now you know how to do it and have experience and once your in SP dont try to escape try to go with the flow relax and calm down and you might have a LD if i have my facts right if i dont than someone correct me! Good luck with more WILD's

      I'm no expert but had my first WILD today and I have had the images/auditory stuff before without going into LD. It's called hypnogogic imagery from what I was told. It can seem very freaky because, at least for me, I see and hear such random stuff, some of it random words and sentences that I say in my head, and sometimes it does get scary. Like today I first tried to imagine a beach and I kept seeing dark figures that I tried to focus on, and one suddenly turned into a zombie like face that scared me into jumping out of it. You have to try and not focus on any one image or sound, and tell yourself before (and during) not to be afraid, it's not real (although it sure seems real....I'll tell ya the first time I saw clear pictures and heard clear voices in my head without being asleep I got a little concerned for my mental health until I read some posts!) you just have to sort of drift along, go with the flow and try to stay focused on LDing enough so that you don't just go into a regular dream (this can happen if you focus on one fragment too long). I kept looking at my "3rd eye" and tried not to look directly at images to the left and right. I didn't get vibes but "flew through a tunnel" (of white lights....which is how the images started, looked like little ghosts flying around in my head ) and went into the paralysis state. I could feel my paralyzed body in bed but had to force my dream body to move out of the bed so I could adventure, without moving my actual body (which I could feel in bed during the whole LD). My body felt like it weighed a ton and the hardest part was "getting out of bed" with my dream body. I have experienced sleep paralysis for years, long before I got into LD's (usually when waking from a nightmare, it's like you know if you can just move one arm you will wake up but until then you are "stuck" in limbo between sleep and awake). I was terrified the first time it happened, but it's normal.
      If you are interested in my experience (it's long) I put it in my DJ, you can click my name and go to my journal, it's the entry posted yesterday, 7/16.

      It doesn't sound like a WILD to me. I am no expert at this either and just my opinion, but WILD consist mainly of two situations. One--being conscious as body itself falls asleep. Two--being conscious in dream world. If you really had to battle to get up and move then you were in neither. When one is during the beginnings of a WILD, they can generally come out of it since they are consciously awake. In fact that is one problem many of us have--trying to stay calm and relaxed so the body can transfere to dreamworld. But some weird vibrations startle us to come out of it. Rapid eye movement can scare you. Paralysis of body even and once you focus on it, trance is gone. If you were conscious in the dream world, well, you would have been dreaming which you made no mention of.

      It sounds like you fell asleep. Any time afterwards, you were actually coming back out of sleep and being between levels of subconscious and conscious (which they are very close during nap time), you were becoming conscious and wanting out, but body still sleeping and you were trying to wake it up. Happens to me a lot. I try sometimes very hard to wake myself up from sleeping and it is a struggle.
