my fingers hurt SO much!

**Ezzie_Ezz** · 12-10-2010 12:06 AM

I have a problem, whenever I try to do a WILD something happens with my fingers. Mostly my thumb and index finger
It feels like something want to peel my finger. It begins on the top and it vibrates all over my finger and it hurts like hell. the pain really makes me nauseous
the other strange thing is, I feel my finger moving because of this. It's like trying to compete with this energy. sometimes my finger gently brushes my leg, without me controlling it!
Does anyone recognize this?

Vibrations are common in WILD, and so is perceived movement (which is just in your head, not actually happening). I've never experienced what you described, but it sounds like an amalgamation of different types of hallucinations. Nothing to be worried about.

I felt vibrations in my stomach once and they really tickled, nearly snapping me out of SP. As for pain, it's not that common. But it is possible! I know this because I've felt strong pain in sleep paralysis before.

I've also had pain. I have felt like my entire body is being crushed! I've also had Exploding Head Syndrome. So yeah, any kind of pain is pretty much par for the course in SP.

My suggestions would be to change your sleeping position and see if that fixes it. Otherwise, just try to make the transition as quick as possible. Slow, shallow breathing and a quiet mind are the name of the game.

I get all kinds of body distortions during my successful WILDs. Sometimes the bizarre or painful sensations help me transition. If it bothers you, try focusing on something else during the transition. Visualize a dream scenario, or imagine yourself in an entirely new dream body.
