Electricity?

Hey everyone out there, i was just wondering if anyone out tehre has ever experienced this, or can explain it to me.

I was attempting a WILD, and i lay there for a little while, and im sure my body was asleep, but then, this giant volt of electricity came up my body, and basically shocked me out, my entire body jerked. I have no idea what it was, but it scared the life out of me. Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks a ton,
Lysander

That was classic sleep paralysis. You were really close to a successful WILD! SP can feel like all kinds of things -- vibrations, rocking, hot or cold, tingling, etc.

yea, thats what ive heard, and ive experienced that befor, however, this was a huge jolt, more than 10x what ive experienced befor. does this just mean that te others were not clsoe enough, and this was the actual thing?

Seeker is wrong this time. That jolt was a hypnic jerk, which is a jolt sent to the muscles (sometimes just a few, sometimes all of them) to test if you've fallen asleep. Of course, this happens much more often when you're WILDing because your lymbic system is getting mixed messages from your lower and upper brains.

cool, so, just ignore it?

Try not to think about it too much, it happens naturally when you slide into sleep.
