Thread: WILD transition without signposts, + basic WILD problems

LaBerge mentions things about vibrations during WILDs. In his book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, in the Attention on Body and Self section of the Falling Asleep Consciously section, he says:

If you focus on your body while falling asleep, you will sometimes notice a condition in which it seems to undergo extreme distortions, or begins to shake with mysterious vibrations, or becomes completely paralyzed.

In his Twin Body Technique and his One Body Technique in the same section he says:

Watch for signs of strange sensations, vibrations, and distortions of your body image.

^^ ookay then; I do seem to have gone off on the wrong path, haven't I? Never mind then! Regardling SP, there does seem to have been a bit of information left out of your OP; but no matter, right? Anyway...

Since you truly suffer from SP, you may be shying from a possible advantage, because actual SP offers an opportunity that most LDers don't enjoy: when you realize you are, upon waking in SP, still mostly asleep, you can take advantage of your state by (as I believe Laberge said) rolling out of your paralyzed body and into a dream. All you need is to overcome the anxiety/fear that can accompany SP... but I'm guessing you already knew that, so why am I writing it? Also, now I understand you didn't want me to go there anyway; so never mind again!

Regarding a "noiseless" WILD transition: well, based on your response I'm guessing that what I said so far didn't help (though I do hope you followed that "noise" link), and really I got nothing else right now.

Regarding the darkness in LD's: I was offering an opinion, and hoping to help you through those gray dreams that often accompany WILD's; sorry it was of little use.

tl;dr: I'll try to pay better attention next time!

And there, in a nutshell, is where it all started.
