I've WILDed several times, and always hit the phase of vibrations, etc. But I've always had a lot of terror, discomfort, and pain with SP. There have been several times when it was so bad that I stopped.

However, the other night I was trying to WILD using WBTB and just slipped into a LD without any of that SP stuff. It was so amazing. I actually just sat there in my dream and felt surprised and relieved for a while. Then I woke myself up and did the same thing again, just to be sure it wasn't some kind of fluke. I loved it! I'm not even clear on how I did it. I wonder if maybe I lost conscousness just long enough to miss SP, but was still instantly aware as the dream formed around me.

Any ideas?
