Thread: Was it a WILD?

Well, I pretty much learned about lucid dreaming from someone not long ago, I decided to do it and Lucid dream, I read all about the tehniques and all, but I didn't read about WILD, since the whole idea itself kinda scared me.

But... 2 days ago I woke up after 6 hours of sleep, stayed awake for 1 hour reading about lucid dreaming, then put my MP3 headphones with a tape that is supposed to help in gaining lucidity and I put about 20 minutes of silence first and went to bed and started doing a MILD, saying to self "Next scene will be a dream, I will look at my hands and realise I'm dreaming" and kept repeating it while sometimes imagining myself in some dreams and looking at the signs that it's a dream...BUT after 5 minutes of doing that I started feeling weird, my arms and legs I couldn't move them even if I wanted to, I tried to open my eyes and managed to open one of my eyelids slightly but it forced itself shut afterwards then all of a sudden I heard a buzzing sound and my whole body felt different, really light, a bit smaller and it felt like it had something around itself like a aura, of course I got scared since I had no idea what was going on and the more scared I was the sound was louder and more high pitched and more the aura went wild, in the end after about 30 seconds the aura broke and I heard a weird explosion sound, the I was again free to move and all stoped, I did a RC after waking up but it was reality, and while all that lasted I felt my body was sorta floating, I could feel the MP3 Headphones but I don't think I could feel the bed nor the blancket, I could still hear my granpa in the kitchen though =o...Was this a WILD? Kinda scary o_o;;

Oh and I am now trying to WILD because of that, since I guess it's the easiest tehnique for me, I get to the point where my vision turns white and at that point my head hurts a little and my breathing and heartbeat start speeding up and then it stops, what am I doing wrong? =/

Thanks for reading. ^^

Sounded like you entered sleep paralysis. And that high pitched noise sounded like the tinnitus (ear ringing) getting louder as you got closer to the transition. It can be very scary and strange to people who have never experienced it while awake. Just try it a couple times and get familiar with the feeling of it. And remember it happens every night bu this time you are awake for it so it is perfectly normal.

Thanks for the reply and explaining it a bit to me. ^^

Though I still don't get it why it happened the first time I tried doing ANY tehnique at all, and even by trying to move it still continued. xD;;

And yah, now when I am willingly trying it I just get to the part where you WANT to move so bad, but I don't and then I see all white and at that point my body just starts breathing faster and I can hear my heart pounding more, what should I do to keep on, since it breaks when my body automatically starts breathing faster. =/
