I need help

[9696banned]

I don't know what to do!2 days ago I heard doors creaking and I realized it was hypnagogic imagery. I read posts of what people heard and I'm scared. But this is what I've been practicing and waiting for. People tell me WILDs are the most vivid and awesome. But the only way to get a WILD is to go through dat. I need help tell me what to do!

try a different method??? or just tell yourself its all in your head and nothing can hurt you.

Relax, it's only a transition. I think you'll get more used to it in time, that's the only logic option at least. If you stress, it's kinda hard falling asleep isn't it..? Perhaps you should try something like DEILD instead, if you don't think you can fall asleep during the HI. But try WILD for a time before giving it up. Each technique has to be given a fair amount of time for u to know wheter or not they would work for you.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna try it again. So the next step is imagining the place I want to go and stepping into it..hmm..any techniques? cause I have no idea how I'll do that and I want to go quick before I start hearing screams and stuff which I'm mostly afraid of

I have solved my issue with being scared of scary HH by installing a bunch of night light. It gives me comfort to know, that when I hear something and open my eyes, it's not dark. I have never had hallucinations when trying to WILD. Once I heard a creaking door when doing just some breathing excercises, and once had some HH when DEILDing. But that lasted less than 5 seconds, as you enter DEILD fairly fast. So there is a good chance, you wont have any more scary HH. You can try telling yourself that nothing can hurt you, they are just hallucinations. You could also try some MILD/DILD, to get some more experience, before turning to WILD. I just had a DILD this morning and it's comparable with WILD in vividity.

You go through that, and sleep paralysis, every time you go to sleep. You are now hyper-aware of this fact and sensitive to it. I consciously try to put a name to Hypnogogic imagery . Blue blobs become blue clouds, Geometric forms become fences ... and so on. You will get used to it. Byt if you can't there's always DILD's with RC's.

I'm going to sleep now. I've trained myself to wake up at 3:00 AM for a WILD. Then I will try it. So I'll post another comment on here telling you what happened

I read some people use music to neutralize auditory HH.
