I had a similar experience last night. It was the closest I've come to actually WILDing. I woke up after 5 hours and stayed up for 1 hour. Then I started to relax and do the "one, I'm dreaming, 2 I'm dreaming" counting thing. A little after 100 my mind had wandered but I was still counting automatically. All of a sudden I got the numbness and heaviness feeling. I started breathing very fast and I felt like I was almost in SP, but then there was stuff in my throat and I had to swallow. |

Numbness After 60 seconds! (WILD)
Well, last night I performed a WBTB and decided a WILD was in order. I relaxed myself, then started to count up, all the while breathing deeply. At about fifty-five seconds I heard a robotic beep, probably first HS in forever! This triggered heart to beat harder and numbness to set in at sixty seconds. But then, it just all faded a away at about one-hundred. This was mainly to tell you guys about how guickly the numbness set in after a WBTB, but if you have any pointers as to how to keep going and not just fade away, they would be appreciated!

I get a numb heavy feeling pretty fast but it's weird sometimes it's like I forget to breathe, I guess I get too wrapped up or excited in it? Also yeah a lot of times the feeling that I need to swallow kind of brings me out of it. Any ideas?

The first time I tried to WILD it took me 500 count (30 minutes assuming respiration rate of 16 per minute) to get to SP. The second time it took 200 count, the third which immediatly followed the second, 120, the fourth took 150ish, and the final time I was at 300 or so before I accidentally fell asleep. A shame too cause it's the first time I had any hypnagagic stuff. I'm getting closer though. I've read a lot various places about the swallowing thing, and the important thing I gather is don't think about it. I've tried WILD 5 times, and reached SP 4 of those times. If you get in the mindset "i've gotta swallow, and when I do it's gonna mess me up" then it will, you're losing focus. Just do it and focus on counting or whatever you do. Also it gets easier to ignore it with more attempts, as I attempted WILD last night and didn't even think about swallowing at all... but I fell asleep. Bah. As for forgetting to breathe, someone else posted that somewhere recently. I count in time with my breathing and haven't ever "forgot to breathe" As I told the other poster, I am no doctor and do not claim to be one, however I imagine if you really _aren't_ breathing then eventually you'll lose conciousness. At this point your brain will take over the breathing process. I imagine you are breathing though, you just may be losing awareness of it. The only trouble I have with breathing is at first onset of SP it feels like I am going to suffocate and it's hard to breathe. This is when the body is trying to automatically take over breathing, which is what it does while you are asleep. I find if I just don't fight it, after about 30-60 seconds, the brain kicks in full force and it becomes deep and regular again. Hope I was of some help!
