      Question Some questions about WILD and how close do you think i was?

      ive been trying to wild for a few nights, not particularly hard as i have just been trying before sleeping, tho i may try a WBTB WILD tonight.

      1.most times i felt twitches in my body in various places, followed by feeling stiffer there (is this my body entering sleep paralysis?)

      2. one time, i had been going for about 15 mins when my whole body shock (or jumped, or all tensed really suddenly) only once. i tried to float because apparently that is a good way to reality check without moving, nothing happened. is it possible i had entered a dream? i was still in my bed. and i think my eyes were still shut.

      im pretty new to lucid dreaming and any help would be appreciated, be it about WILD ing or any recomendations of types to try.

      thanks

      Kay this is info just one lurker to another what you experienced was most likely something called a Hypnic jerk. it happens often during sleep and is usually accompanied by a falling sensation. i might be wrong but that sounds about right to me wiki it if you want to find out more. hope this helps

      thanks. I googled it and that sounds exactly what it was. does it mean I was near dreaming? perhaps I was dreaming? I didn't feel the falling part.( or not that I remember) It probably made me jump so much I was jus more awake. thouh I should have checked harder

      Sleep comes in 4 stages, you have your first 3 NREM, or Non-REM, stages, followed by your REM stage. We only dream during REM sleep, and if you enter REM sleep, you'll know it. During the second stage of sleep, NREM-2, We see something called "Hypnic Myoclonia," you may have heard them referred to as, "Myoclonic jerks," before. Basically what WscorpioD said, normally accompanied by a sensation of falling. Have no fear though, these jerks are naturally occuring, and shouldn't keep you awake, just try to ignore them and you should be good. Hope this helped

      Those are Hypnagogic Hallucinations. They come in the form of sound, vision and even feeling. That is your mind forming a dream.
      Try to not focus on those and focus on staying awake and you will enter the dream lucid.

      Make sure you do a reality check... even if you can swear you failed... as you might experience a False Awakening and you are dreaming.

      And for not moving that could involve trying to float, pushing your tongue through your teeth/roof of mouth right? Are there any other ones that work for you personally?
