Annoying Scary WILDs!!!

[Dream scaper]

This is really starting to annoy me now. I've been practicing WILDing now for about a month with no success, but I remain persistent because it seems to be getting a lot easier. What I can't do though is stop myself from waking up as soon as I hear audio HH or HI (not really sure what the difference is). Most recently, last night I almost completed two WILDS, but both times I failed because of my problem. The first WILD took a lot of time to get into - about 40mins - but eventually I slipped into almost full sleep paralysis, but then I heard this really loud alien-like noise. It was quite high pitched and scared the crap out of me, so I instantly jumped awake. Then the second WILD only took about 5mins to get into, but it was really unexpected, which made me jump even more when the noise came. It was the same kind of noise as the first time, and it sounded like it came from some sort of being, which is why both times I jumped awake and lay in my bed for a while with a heart rate of about 150 beats/minute. So my question is; how the hell do you make it through the annoying hillucinations of sleep paralysis? I'm quite a logical and scientific person, so I know it's not actually spirits or anything, and that it is all in my mind, but when i'm in the moment it really does scare the crap out of me. So, any tips?

haha you don't mate, thats part of SP, that why so many people get freaked out.... try to keep your eyes closed, relax and absord what is happening. Just remember it's not real, it sounds like your very close so you might aswell take the last step and deal with the negitives to be rewarded with the positives!!! Once you hit the LD you'll be loven it P.S - quick tip, you might want to try and get more tired and exhausted before you try again, this will make your body switch off before your mind so once you hear them noises you won't have the choice to move, you'll be stuck and from there on in you ride it out.... muwhahahaha

Thanks for the tip. More suggestions from people will be appreciated.

Is anybody else going to give me any advice? I get annoyed when I see 62 views yet only one person has answered my question! ... Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to answer my question and give some more advice.

I have the same problem as you! except i don't hear noises. I just get too scared when I feel my body shut down and my heart just ends up beating way to fast that I realise there's no way I'm getting relaxed enough to dream here! Sorry if this isn't much help though!

[Dream scaper]

Thanks for the reply. It's nice to know that other people are having similar problems (no offense).

I think what you hear/see works on your expectations. You have to convince yourself BEFORE you start WILDing that anything you see, hear, etc.... is just made up. I'll admit that I haven't had a full pledged SP before, but, I have been getting closer. Also, as Mawds mentioned, exercising will increase your chance of reaching SP in less time, like it did in my case

It's kind of interesting, what I do is just relax, it really doesn't last very long. You can always take your mind of it and pain a scene. I have only gotten voices once. I get a lot of physical hallucinations like today, it felt like someone punched me in the face with no pain.

I wish I could give some great advice, but you honestly just have to get through it. I've been trying the WILD for months, and have had similar problems to you. The main reasons that I wasn't successful were stupidity(I'll stop focusing just for a second and get comfortable in my bed) and fear. When hallucinations start to kick in, I either ignore them or try and change them to my liking. Just focus on the goal, lucidity is so worth it. Good luck

change them to my liking. Just focus on the goal, lucidity is so worth it. This, this this! I forgot to add that you can change HI. Or at least I can. I had "sexy" HI. The other day I made a little troll gremlin appear as well. It is changeable but it might take some practice.

Thanks for all the great advice - it really is appreciated.

Thanks for all the great advice - it really is appreciated. If none of this works, you can associate the audio with something else. Say there is screams, think it's not really "screams" But "laughter". If you are shaking, think you are on a roller coaster or a vibrating bed. And if none of that works, just laugh at the hallucinations.
