Guys - I don't understand, what you are saying:

Then again I woke up in SP lots of times and never experienced such hallucinations. Maybe weird vibrations, and the rare feeling of electricity going through my body. I was attempting a lot of astral projections a lot back them so I experienced a lot of SP.

Maybe there is nothing to be afraid of. Maybe I could be one of the few that wouldn't hallucinate during SP. If I was going to WILD though and I felt an Astral Protection coming on, I would take that over WILDing into a lucid dream.
Pepsibluefan - did you only attempt to do what you call AP, or did you actually manage something of that sort?
Did you do a WILD yet?
Sounds you didn't try the latter from fear of the transition, while coming close to a transition for what you call AP, and it was completely harmless.

Isn't it basically the same as a WILD - so you maybe did it already - or at least were at the door and found out, that you don't suffer from any hallucinations from it. There's nothing other to fear with WILD.
It should be the exact same thing, except the interpretation of the experience differs according to personal belief-system.

Looke (:
And Looke - you didn't say "attempt" - you say you do astral project from waking up into SP from a lucid.
That in my view would be a DEILD - a sort of easier WILD, since you are already in a deeper state of mind, so to speak.
You seem to say, there is a difference between WILD and what you call AP.
And you don't get hallucinations from both. Or didn't you WILD yet in your differentiation of phenomena?
What would be the difference for you - except you do the AP from waking from an LD?
Do you differentiate, because what you call WILD comes from the fully waking state - or do you mean something else?


Would be three cases of no hallucinations with SP in this thread - same here - but I only know it from waking from an LD.
But I didn't WILD yet - and naturally from how I interpret stuff - no AP either.
