Disappearing

[Yohie]

So, I think I understand the pattern of a WILD. There is also no problem with the fine line between falling asleep and conciousness, I keep it by sensing my finger against the blanket, it hurts a bit when tense. Fast breathing or tingling do no harm to me but there is one fear I can never face - the fear of disappearing completely. It comes when I stop feeling my body slowly, and when it feels like I am changing shape or spinnig. I always see the night sky in this state - in a great depth. And the less I feel my body, the more I feel like the depth is me. I try to visualise some place I know well but I always just panic. I try to tell myself that this is not dying but I've got that terrible questions - What if I go too far? What if I'll cross the edge? What if there's no coming back? Please help me I need to understad this fear and get through it. Lucid dreaming may really help me in some way so I'll appreciate any advice.

If you "go to far" you end up in a dream. That's it. There is nothing at all dangerous about what you are doing. All you are doing is going to sleep.

The only difference between WILDing and having normal dreams/going to sleep normally is, that when you WILDing, you are aware of the process. You keep your mind awake little longer than normally, so you actually get to feel what falling asleep feels like. Those are the sensations you feel. That's all.

That sensation feels pretty interesting, I'd love to feel it. How can you die from falling asleep? Lol, you're doing it every night.

I think she means by OBE, sounds like it.

I think she means by OBE, sounds like it. OBE is WILD for people who don't like science.

OBE is WILD for people who don't like science. I think WILD and OBE are 2 different things. IMO.

[MrOMGWTF]

OBE is WILD for people who don't like science. WILD is just an abstract term for the way of initiation of the lucid dream.
