Hi guys/girls,

I am a novice LD'er and I do believe I have achieved a WILD (going straight into a dream from relaxing and instantly realising I was in a dream - dreamscape just appeared in front of me and I knew I was in the bed before hand).

However, recently I have been having random events of some experience I cannot understand what it is.

Last night, I was having a nap and I remember drifting off, then a little while later I remember becoming conscious; almost instantaneously, but I did not open my eyes. Instead I kept them shut and my body felt like it instantly got extremely heavy, as soon as this happened my ears felt like they "popped" didn't hurt but all the ambiance of the room suddenly went silent and it felt like I was only hearing my heart beat, and only that. I knew I could not hear my PC or my friends music no more.

However, I did not see any imagery on my eye lids, just darkness, but I did experience a very heavy body and very limited sounds.

I got a little scared as I thought I was going to go into a dream and I started to think scary thoughts and I didn't want to transfer this into a dream. So I forced my eyes open (was hard) and then it all went normal.

What experience was this?

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

P.S. this has happened a couple of times now, sometimes I get a little bit of a shaking sensation too.

Cheers.
