I know I sound foolish but I was terrified! I used a little self hypnosis to relax (weights are being tied to my ankles...so heavy...) and I think I startened entering the transition phase. I was a little excited but I stayed calm. I began to see slight splotches of color (hypnagogic imagery) and then I felt like my heart was sinking (mild hypnagogic twitch, i think?) and I could feel my pulse in my ears. I knew that sound distortion would come next and I have my fan on right by my face all the time. It might sound childish but I was absolutely terrified. I know I could have kept going but I was scared and purpously woke myself up.
I'm not frustrated, and I'm trying again as soon as I'm done posting (i'm on my handheld in the dark) but I would feel infinetly better with a consoling story and (i'm not afraid to admit it) just a little sympathy.
I'm only 15 and I'm already virtually crying... wow. XP meh, see you all tomorrow.
