Breathing lightly causes floating feeling?

**Puffin** · 10-24-2010 11:19 PM

What the title says, basically.
Sometimes when I'm relaxing in order to enter SP, my breathing becomes almost non-existent, and then I feel almost like I'm floating. But then I start to feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen, so I breathe in more and the feeling goes away. It's not a hallucination, it's just a fairly mild floating feeling, in my head and stomach.

Anyone else get this?

yes i've had that feeling before, sometimes it's also accompanied with a sensation that i describe as having warm water flowing over my head but not getting wet, and sometimes i notice that i've been forgetting to breath entirely, then i panic, ever had anything similar to those?

Sometimes, maybe once every few months, I even choke because I forget to breathe and my throat relaxes so much (it never happens otherwise, though).

I have gotten that warm water feeling before.

Have you thought to just ignore it and let your body handle the breathing?

Have you succeeded in a WILD yet? Just wondering...

Well, I end up getting those feelings when I 100% ignore it.
And yes, I've had a few WILDs before.

I get this too. It gives me a headache, but I continue to breathe lightly, otherwise I wake up.

Thats just you stopping breathing i'm pretty sure. That happens to me as well and I quickly panic and gasp for air because i actually stop breathing completely :0
