Thread: Tried WILD last night and have some questions.

(Question 1) My body got more numb the longer I lied on my bed,this is sleep paralysis right?I could not move by the way.

2.I was saying "I am a pro at this I have done it before.","This is a dream and I am Lucid." over and over. Sometimes I would feel as though I was moving through a tight tunnel. At the end of the tunnel I saw a valley with a tree of oranges. And the words were on the walls. Something would say them faster and faster getting more threating as they were said. Then solid darkness that I was falling through. What the heck was this because it scared me even though I knew it wasn't real.

Those were hypnagogic hallucinations/imagery. These are almost always accompanied by a WILD, nothing to be afraid of. Seeing a full dream scene like you did means you were almost in your lucid dream, you just have to remain calm and let it envelope you. Tunnel vision is also common. Voices or banging, buzzing, screaming, whispering, clanking. etc are hallucinations.

Yeah, you were very close zark. When the hallucinations are real vivid like that, you right there on the edge of the transition and the actual dream. Just try to stay calm and enjoy the ride. Nice progress though and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!
