teh wierd vibrations of WILD

[Prometheus]

hey I've done WILD before but now I'm getting something new as I do it, I've heard it talked about before. As I stay consciouss while falling asleep, the first thing that happens is I kind of lose 'contact', or feeling, with my body, but as this happens I'm now feeling this strange vibration.. even more strange is it went along with my heart beat haha wierd, has anyone had this before and does it pass? Cause it didn't help making the experience to come after it fun lol guess I'll get used to it in time unfortunetly my fear kept me up and I never got into a lucid dream this time :/

Hey Prom, I've never personally felt the vibrations during a WILD, but I hear that it is fairly common.

I have felt the vibrations many times. Sometimes they are mild, sometimes they are frighteningly strong accompanied by loud humming/vibrating noises deep within your ears/head. Either way, I usually just go with it b/c I know that those vibrations are my ticket to getting lucid. I think only a few times the vibrations have been so intense/uncomfortable that I have actually made myself wake up. Sometimes I get stuck in that vibrational state for what seems like minutes, which can be frustrating...sometimes it lasts only a few seconds. Just depends, and get used to it.

I hear the sounds and feel the vibrations/energy going through my body every time that I have SP. It is the one standard set of sensations for each SP episode. At first, the sounds can be alarming, but if you stay calm and remain conscious you will soon realize that a lot of the sounds are just hugely magnified sounds from your environment. The tinest movement of you ear against your pillow as your blood pulses through your body will be heard as a very loud swooshing/scratching sound. You should be able to hear sounds that you never are able to normally. In a way, in SP you are aware of what your unconcious hears when you sleep normally. This is why some people can be very light sleepers. Some part of their brain is hearing sound hugely magnified. In SP you just happen to be hear it consciously. When the sounds all of a sudden go away and ur still conscious, that is the time when things get interesting. Since you'll begin an OBE or lucid dream. However, you may have to force the sounds to end youself by using mental exercises and so go into lucid dreams that way. Just imagine yourself getting out of bed, and actually try it with your mind. That is what worked for me.

I had the vibrations the first time I succeeded in WILD. I don't think you can do a WILD with a vibration, in my case. When I got my first vibration, it felt like my body being electrified for like 2 seconds, and I went straight into my dream in less than 5 seconds.

Yeah, once you lose awareness of your body and start vibrating and hearing sounds a dream will begin almost immediatley after, for me at least. Not usually LDs either..

I love the vibrational stage! For me its like the base station of lucid dreaming. Once I reach that stage I know that I will soon be lucid...so I wait through it, wait through the HI, sometimes I get so ancy and dreams sort of begin and I still don't have control but I'm lucid and I'm thinking "hurry up...I know it's coming" and eventually my lucid starts and I have total control. Alot of times when my lucid is over I end up back in the vibrational stage and start all over again. This can continue for about an hour (and is very exhausting though I've yet to really figure out why). Eventually I just feel that its time to wake up after I've had my lucid fill and so I do.
