A stupid fail, SP-wise.

I just had to get onto DV and ask a question about something that happened to me this morning...

I went to bed at around 10:00, as I wanted to WBTB WILD. So, I get up at 3:30 and do relaxation exercises, draw for ten minutes, blah blah, and get back into bed. I fall asleep, however.

The next morning, I wake up at around 10:00. It's light outside and I'm really hot because I was stupid and slept under three blankets and a feather duvet. So, I decide to chill out on top of the covers to cool off, and get a bit more sleep before my dad wakes me. After all, he gets up at like, eleven or twelve. :roll: After a few moments, I get uncomfortable though, without any covers, so I put a thin blanket over top of me.

I'm kind of lying with my arms above my head, my arms slightly curved, and the rest of me is straight. Oh, and I am also on my stomach.

After ten or fifteen minutes or so, I suddenly get rolling vibrations, almost like tingling, up and down my body. I realize this is SP, and so I hold on. After all, it felt like it could be a free WILD. Within a few seconds, the vibrations stop and I consider whether to roll out of bed. However, then it feels like the blanket on top of me is slowly rising off of me, and then I start getting a floating sensation. At the same time, I begin floating to the right, off my bed, and then start on a downwards incline, towards the door to my room. The wierd thing is, I can see where I am, from a first-person and third-person perspective. I'm still in the same position and all.

Then, it fades and I'm back in bed, all is quiet. I try rolling out, and bam, I hit my head on the floor as I land. Pretty embarassing. I do an RC and it's positive. No dream.

I change positions, my arms now at my side, and try again, since I got SP so easily that time... Unless it wasn't SP.

Another few minutes elapses, and I feel the blanket being PULLED off of me this time, without any vibrations. I then feel someone yanking me slowly off my bed. I fall onto the floor, slowly, as if there's low gravity. And then I'm being dragged on the floor, my leg gripped by something. I open my eyes, because I got a little freaked out, and the movement stops. I see a girl with shorter brown hair and a large steak knife in one hand, my leg in the other. Only a few moments passes before she suddenly disappears, and I'm back in bed.

What the hell?

My question to you, DV members: was this actually SP, or a dream that I somehow managed to unconsciously fall into, that involved SP and the same room I was sleeping in?

It looks like you over thought it.

That's what happens to me, and its the reason I fail at WILDS. Remember, you actually do have to fall asleep to WILD. And getting excited, unsurprisingly, wakes you up. My suggestion is to not stay up so long. I found its easier to get back to sleep and into a WILD if you've only been up for a minute or so. At
least its that way for me anyway.

Ye i would also say don't stay up for so long maybe go to the bathroom and relieve your self then do it. A girl with a steak knife :eek: thats scary I wonder what i would have done...

That's very strange. I've never had anything like that happen to me, and I've been in SP a bajillion times. If I would call it anything, I'd say it was just a dream. Some times I hear you can fall into a dream while you're still trying to relax in your same bed and room and not realize it after SP is over or kicks in. So I say it was just a dream you fell into where you thought you were still awake in your bed.
