So I tried my first Wild.
Stupidly I decided to give it a bash straight after going to bed.

I sat very still. One arm over my chest, one behind my head. Counted down from 100 to zero a large number of times.

Eventually my arms and legs got numb. I figured I was on the right path. There were various distractions:

1) For some reason my eyes would open of their own accord.
2) My arms became very uncomfortable (like when you have a dead arm...not just numb but painful).
3) My wife came over a few times in the night snuggle. Strangely though I don't think this had much effect. In fact the feeling of my wife against me
started to fade away too at one point.
4) I sometimes just had to swallow. This seemed like very hard work.

Anyway I seemed to cycle close to SP a number of times. My limbs would feel hot. I heard a popping in my ears. It seemed hard to breath. My chest and head got tight. But I just couldn't go under. Twice I swallowed just as I should have been passing out.

Eventually I gave up the ghost and decided to give up. I rolled onto my side.
It was very hard work. Like I was very heavy.

Anyhow, it was near midnight when I started out. When I finished I was shocked to find it was 5.10am. 5 hours. WTF. How could it have been that long?

Anyhow, after a longggggggggggg day I'm shattered. I will be passing out and getting some quality zzzzzzz's tonight I think.

So is this all normal?
Was I on the right track?
