Hello folks,

I'm having troube figuring out how far i have progressed with my WILD. I was wondering if anyone that has more experience could give me an indication of how far i am, and maybe a few quick tips.

First of all i'm pretty sure i've reached sleep paralysis, my whole body goes numb and requires concentration to move a certain body part. Beyond that, at times it feels like my body has sunk through my bed. Im guessing this is sleep paralysis. My problem is moving on from there, i find it easy enough to get to sleep paralysis, if it is what i am experiencing and have no trouble lying still or not swallowing, but it seems like i am stuck there...does anybody have any advice on how to continue? I try to visualize my dreamscape but with no success. This next part is very hard to explain but at times it feels like for 2 seconds a dream flashes before my eyes...but i'm not lucid in this dream (or its too short to determine if i am) and this happens several times even though i don't feel like im losing consciousness. Am i somehow supposed to consciously try to make those 2 seconds into an extended dream i.e my dreamscape and then try to interact with it and that way become lucid? I'm a tad bit confused because when i read posts on this forum it always says that your need "HI" to slowly transform into a dream and then interact with it....however i rarely get any form of "HI". I don't know if this last bit made any sense to you, but i feel like i'm close but at the same time it feels like im missing some vital ingredient. Is it just me making my self believe that i'm close when in reality im not? Any help would be greatly appreciated
