Today, I had my first taste of what a WILD is like. I woke up this morning still very tired (from a pool party last night), so I tried getting some more sleep. At first, everything seemed normal; I rolled around in bed for a few minutes, trying to get a nice spot. Eventually, I got into a very groggy, half-sleeping state, where I realized I might be able to enter a lucid from. I tried envisioning very vividly walking through my school, the feel of the handrail, the color of the walls, sounds I would hear. Suddenly, I heard a helicopter fly above me in real life, and focused intensely on that. I kept thinking "I will have a lucid dream" over and over while listening to the beat of the chopper. Then, I suddenly had an overpowering feeling that I would enter a dream scenario. The chopper's rotors slowed down a bit, and sounded a lot louder. A little dot of swirling colors appeared in the center of my vision. Sadly, however, the vibrations caught me off guard. Since I didn't realize I was pulling a V-WILD, and I had never experienced the onset of SP anywhere other than when I ended a dream, I panicked and pulled myself out of the vision of the school. The helicopter's rotor sound quickly sped up, and I found myself momentarily paralyzed in my bed. I cursed at myself when I realized what I had done. However, I now know that WILDs aren't as impossible as they had originally seemed to me. Does anyone have any tips on how to focus harder on something? And did anyone else have the same hearing illusion that I had?
