Well.... wtf just happened? lol

:panic: I tried to WILD ~before~ I went to sleep last night, and, in my opinion, it went pretty successful, for someone who's never had a WILD before. But something puzzles me, and I don't know if it concerns JUST me, or is something concerning many people - lol.

It was frightening and exhilarating all at once. Once I had gotten my whole body numb, and pretty relaxed (breathe in, 1, breathe out, I'm dreaming, breathe in, 2...), something just snapped and I went into something that resembles some kind of oracle trance. My eyes started fluttering underneath my eyelids, my eyelids started fluttering, I could feel my chest raising and I could feel that instead of having that blackness when you close your eyes just in front of you, I had it all around me including a periphial vision type thing and I could "feel" it behind me. Also, it felt like I was kind of zooming towards it. I didn't see any hypnagogic imagery other than what I normally see when I close my eyes (indistinct colors floating around, every other sensory perception active except for my sight, in which I see bright, but hard to focus on, colors just floating around my general eyespace), but it did feel as though a rush went through my body.

But then my sister "woke" me up. Which is kind of symbolic, seeing as how I couldn't switch from external perception (any sounds I immeadiately snapped to) to internal.

WTF happened, and should I replicate it for more effective WILDing or what?

Sounds really successful. Just keep doing what youre doing and it will work soon enough

It sounds pretty close to the real dreaming. What luciddreamrc said, Keep doing what you are doing. It'll work in the near future it seems.

You got really close but unless you do a WBTB you will never actually enter a dream. It just doesn't work that way.

I agree, now that you had results, I think that's not very difficult from now on, on have things like that again! Oh and Congrats!
