Stuck in hypnagogia? wtf?

So this morning I attempted a WBTB WILD but I was exhausted from the day before I guess so I ended up just falling asleep. I woke up a couple of hours later and attempted to WILD again. The second time, I fell straight into HI in literally all of 5 seconds. My hallucinations typically last maybe 10 seconds before I start off a false awakening, but this time, for some reason, I was stuck in HI for over a minute. I was hearing the kinds of high pitched airplane sounds I typically hear, seeing nothing but white light (which is again typical for me) and my body was vibrating, but the imagery didn't intensify or change at all. Finally, I opened my eyes, trying to force myself into the dream, but ended up just waking up. I went back to sleep and again entered HI, but the same thing happened.

Anyone else have this happen to them? Is there a good way to speed up the transition into a dream while in HI, in case this happens again? Or should I just stick with it longer next time?

Maybe you weren't do for another REM at that particular time. Im not sure, buddy. But damn, I wish I knew what all that felt like. Do you see the HI in your minds eye or is it while you're staring into the blackness of your eyelids?

Well, if the REM cycle timing were off, I don't think I'd have even gotten that far. My hypnagogia has been changing on me a lot recently (it disappeared altogether for a while, and I would just randomly end up in a dream while trying to WILD :shock:) so maybe this is normal. I'll try waiting it out next time if it happens again. Interestingly, while I was in HI, I was doing the nose RC and I was able to breathe, so I guess I was pretty far into the transition to the dream.

Anyway, for me, I don't really see anything. Everything goes white, but that's about it. I hear the ringing in my ears but a whole lot louder, and my body vibrates quite a bit. I also noticed this morning that I get the sensation of my body moving forward really fast and my body starts tingling after a while. It's seriously awesome :D
