WILD is great...so is the paranoia

WARNING! May induce bad dreams!

Last night I tried to WILD again. I observed my thoughts becoming stranger and stranger,and after a while I eventually lost my awareness. After one or two minutes my consciousness kicked back in. Now I felt heavy, my hearing began to move inward and started having some visual hypnagogia. In a matter of seconds the transitioning started and I was a couple seconds from a successful WILD. Then my beloved brain reminded me of the girl from "The ring", all the ghosts I ever heard of, all demons, etc... In despair I opened my eyes and for a couple seconds my room was red. This night I managed to avoid my demons...

My problem is that almost every time I try to WILD, I'm always one stone throw from success, but my paranoia, without mistake, destroys yet another very good attempt.
So, I know these horrors are not real and I know that the dream is molded by my expectations... But I don't want to experience them in a LD where everything is almost or just as real as reality... I don't want to see the girl from "The ring" crawl on the wall above my bed... I know I can end the dream when I want, I know that I can transform her in a harmless duck, but my fear is too great.

This night I will try to confront anything in my way, or I'll try to be positive and not think about horror stuff.
One last thing, I never saw anything scary in any of my LD attempts, but how I said, my expectations are dead wrong.

If you manage to successfully wild, and you experience some scary things, do this:
1. Quickly stand up.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Fall on your back like a plank, while thinking about a nice place.
4. The feeling will be fun, it'll be like you're falling, then smoothly stopping, and then some force will push you so you'll be standing again, in a nice place.
