Thread: Weird problem with WILD

you can do one of two things....wait it out and see what happens, or try to imagine or visualize something while it's happening to get it off of your mind.

Normally I try to wait it out, and there are some small chances that the dreams don't start, or i want to be in a certain scene, or the things i'm experiencing are a little too intense...so I start visualizing the scene, and tell myself that I'm going to enter a dream soon, and remind myself that none of the things that are going on aren't real.

I hope this works out for you. let me know how it goes.

My visualization isn't great imo. Anyway i'll try it this night or tomorrow as i'll have to wake up early after this night.

I guess it probably is better to try to manipulate the situation than be thrown around in my bed (at least in my mind) by an invisible force like a ragdoll, lol.

By the way, is there any way to know you are already in sleep paralysis? I usually try to move the least so i don't really know when i get to that point. I experienced it sometimes though when i tried to abort some attempts. Usually i found myself incapable of moving and it lasted for a while but now i'm getting used to it so it doesn't bother me much.

Thanks for your help. If anyone has any other suggestion post it please so i can try some and see which suits me best. Ît's great to find myself so close to WILDing at will as i almost had 2 WILDs in consecutive nights.

P.S.: Ah, for some reason my MILDs aren't working anymore (for a time i had them working almost everyday) has anyone got any suggestions to overcome this MILD dry spell?

Hallucinations can be scary!

Although, I've never personally experienced anything scary.

The best thing to remember is that it's not real. It's hard to overcome at first, but sooner or later you'll learn to ignore such sensations. Or atleast I hope you do

As for the question you asked me personally, The Old Hag is the feeling of something being pressed against your chest, and the difficulty to breath (which is also a hallucination). As I said in another thread, the worst possible thing that could happen is that if you open your eyes you might see some monster or demon sitting on you choking you. But I don't think anyone has really ever experienced that around here.

I would suggest just laying there and doing your best to ignore the scary sensations. And most importantly, DO NOT BE AFRAID! Being afraid can make the hallucinations worse.

Ok, thanks for your reply.
It was scary indeed but i wanted to try to go through it. Although i managed to stay calm and avoid bad toughts (i don't remember having any) it went to the point i felt myself being pushed out of bed. I think i'll need some time to overcome it maybe later i'll remember it and find it fun, lol. I'll keep trying. Is there any post with the types of allucinations categorized? Like the ones that have been reported by people. It would be funny to read a list of them and see the most weird, lol.

Visual Hallucinations - Anything you see like things crawling on your walls or people being in the room.

Auditory Hallucinations - Things you hear like screaming, or explosions.

Unusual Body Experiences - Like the feeling you get when you feel like you're being thrown off your bed.

"The old hag" - I think there's another name for this, but it's feeling that you can't breathe.

Intruder - Ever get that feeling that someone else is in the room with you, but no one is actually there? That's the "Intruder" hallucination.

Those are only a couple of examples, but they should give you the jist of what they are.

Ah, thanks slayer, when i PMed you about the old hag thats what i wanted to know. I wanted to know more about the kind of hallucinations with some examples associated. Had at least one of the Intruder, Auditory and Unusual Body Experience category. Hopefully i didn't have the "old hag". It seems really creepy. This night i didn't sleep enough to try to overcome the hallucination i had the other night, might try later when i go to sleep.
