Almost WILD'd without trying.

I was very ill a few weeks ago, and i decided to take the day off from college. I woke up at my normal time, decided not to go, drank some apple juice and went back to bed all factors that would aid in WILD, except i didn't intend to. Im lying down, trying to get back to sleep normally. I wake up half an hour later because my sister slammed the door on her way out of the house. "Grr", i thought. I was having a good dream. I lie back down then all off sudden i feel realllly heavy. My body starts vibrating rapidly. "WILD" i thought! I was having rapid hallucinations. However i had a block nosed because i was sick so i opened my mouth to breathe. I knew it was a WILD and was very excited because i hadn't intended for it. My hallucinations became static and very vivid. I was almost there. But then i stopped breathing. Like actually stopped breathing. I couldn't breathe through my blocked sinuses and my throat had become very dry from breathing heavily. I felt like i was suffocating and snapped out of it due to fear. Since, i have become close to WILD, just not THAT close.

Just one quick question - would it help if i visualise a dot in the epicentre of my eyelid? It helps me take my mind away from my thoughts to near silence, but i read that it isn't good to force hallucinations. It also helps me to keep looking forward, whereas if i don't my eyes roll to the back of my head a begin to ache.

Maybe you have sleep apnea? It may also just be a feeling. If you can sense your lungs are still filling up with air, or your chest is moving, you're still breathing. There's often a feeling of suffocation while on your back. Try sleeping on your stomach?

And about the dot, yeah, it could work.
