The other night I attempted a WILD. I did a WBTB, and decided to start from there. After a while I experienced the hypnogogic imagery, and remained focused on being alert and the mantra "the next time I'm dreaming I'll realize I'm dreaming". Not long after this I had an odd feeling throughout my body (I think), and "felt" and "heard" an almost electrical buzzing in my nose. I'm not sure if this was a hallucination or I started breathing through a stuffy nose and interpreted the sound as a buzzing. Anyway, I was still aware as this was going on, but almost immediately I experienced a hypnogogic jerk that woke me up completely.

Was I close to a WILD, do you suppose? Is this hypnogogic jerk a common occurrence, or was it just bad luck on my part?
