Gah, so close!

Just had an afternoon nap, and got really close to having my first successful WILD! Only problem is.. I've been really close several times. After laying completely still for about 10 minutes and almost dozing off a couple of times, it felt like my head and feet started moving backwards, as if my bed started turning into a cylinder, and I had this noisy pressure in my ears. I started thinking "1, I'm dreaming, 2, I'm dreaming" as to not fall asleep, but after a couple of seconds the strange feeling vanished and I was back pre-sleeping. I've experienced this so many times, it's getting a bit frustrating. After I come back from being on the brink of succeding, I can never manage to try again, but fall asleep instead. I think I'm getting too excited, but this time I really tried to ignore all the sensations and just let it happen. I don't know what to do though. Oh, and when is SP supposed to occur? All throughout this I know I would have been able to move any limb I wanted if I had reason to.

Haha, this happens to me, but after a while, my hands and feet becomes kind of numb, then the rest of my body and it feels like my body is floating or I am floating out of my body, but then it becomes unbearable and I need to move, it's weird!

I totally know what you mean by your body going kind of numb. It's like you CAN move, but it's way more easy to not fire off a single impulse to your muscles than it is when you've just gone to bed. This isn't real SP though, right? I thought SP pretty much made you lose all control over your body.

Uhm no, this isn't SP... Well, not full SP. I have had SP twice before (to my knowledge) and both times happened one day after the other. I was literally paralysed and I couldn't breathe. I kept trying to move myself but I physically just could not do it no matter how hard I tried, then right at the last minute I got up and took in a huge breath... Very scary lol because I actually thought I was going to suffocate and die. Apparently that isn't what happens to everyone in SP though, so other people will experience other things. Both times this happened I was lying on my back, arms down by my side and legs straight.
