Last night, I tried to have another 'standard' lucid but just slept right through. Not wanting to wait again until tonight, I attempted a WILD.
I sat in a comfy chair and put a blanket over my face and body (didn't reach my feet though). I took very deep breaths and concentrated on the blackness in front of me, trying to blank out any thoughts that came along. I saw very little hypnogogic imagery (a little faint purple flickering), but what did happen was very wierd. At first it felt as though something was trying to 'smear' me in two directions, my head to the left and my lower body to my right (anti-clockwise direction). I was entirely sure that my head was tilted to the left, but when I opened my eyes my orientation hadn't changed. I closed my eyes once more. I looked upwards in my head (apparently a good technique to use) in order to get my hypnogogic imagery going, and the 'smearing' returned. Then I felt as if my chair was being turned around, slowly. The spinning got faster and faster, to the point where I felt a little nausious it felt just like I was on an office chair, and someone was spinning me round, faster and faster. I felt like I would almost fly off. I could still feel my feet on the carpet, but I could also feel everything around me spinning very fast.
In the end, I opened my eyes and got up, a little freaked out, but thinking 'that was insane!'.
Even though it didn't end in a WILD, it was still one of the craziest things I've experienced in my life.

Has anyone else experienced a disruption of their balance/body awareness senses while trying to WILD?

N.B I think this is the right forum to put this in, if not please inform me. Thanks
