WILD questions

**Dthoughts** · 05-31-2011 04:53 PM

WILD sounds amazing and i've been trying practically every night to achieve one, to no success.

Anyway i have some questions that confuse me. What exactly is SP and how do you know ur in it? I know it means Sleep Paralysis and i guess it means u can not move ur body. When i'm trying to sleep tho moving my body is the last of my concerns so how do u know ur entering SP?
I know the feeling of numbing my muscles very well. And the pain u get when u try to move those muscles suddenly. Is that what SP is?

When i attempt WILDing i get a heavy feeling on my forehead above my eyes like a piece of metal is resting on it. And lately i've been getting the feeling of my "energy" moving across my head/body up and down really fast. Can anyone relate to this?

Last night when i went to bed this crushing feeling was amplified by 5. It felt like a truck was resting on my forehead this time. It felt very powerful, i swear i was worried this force might actually crush my head and kill me that's how powerful it felt.
After a while with my eyes closed focusing on the back of my eyelids i get a dark blue vision across the middle of my sight.(it reminds me of the night sky)
Last night along with this crushing feeling the dark blue vision was more spacey, like it was turning from 2D to 3D . There's nothing more to it tho, i tried imagining this blue screen was the night sky and i'm now entering a dream. But nothing i can do. Visions of my imagination seem to take part in a totally different area of my mind. So i guess i need to find a way to overlap those 2. but how !

The closest i have been to WILDing is when i drift into subconsious thinking an image forms totally random and lifelike. The problem is that i only get these images when i lose direction of what i was doing. Cus instead of thinking about lucid dreaming i'm thinking these subconsious thoughts, now when i see this image i get a burst of awareness, realie where i am and what i'm doing and then the image is gone as quickly as it appeared.

So, i'm kind of stuck now and i don't know what i can do now to get better.
Can anyone relate to these feelings of a force on ur forehead? If you feel it like i do it's hard to miss.

What can i do to progress into a dream, how do i hold on to a lifelike image and "step in"? Or should i wait it out and let it happen? Am i supposed to imagine a dream world or stop thinking and let random guide me?
Also do i need to forget completely about where i am with my physical to have any success with this, can u like step into a dream knowing that u are lying there in bed?

tl;dr
As important these individual questions are to me (useless they might be xD). If you can just post exactly what happens with ur vision, thoughts and hearing before and during the enter of a WILD it might clarify some things and i would appreciate your help. thanks

Hello! The pressure you feel on your forehead is just a hallucination. I haven't experience that in particularly, but hallucinations will vary from dreamer to dreamer. Once you started seeing that night sky, you just need to continue to relax and strive toward sleep. The dream will form around you on its own during the transition. Just relax and casually observe all of these hallucinations that you get. It seems to me like you are in the early stages of the process/early stages of SP, but you are definitely making good progress. You may not have gotten that strong sense of SP yet, but it is certainly on the cusp. Just keep practicing and try to get a little further along each time out. Once you are in full blown SP, believe me, you will know it. Good luck to you and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks, i've had some progress yesterday with these hallucinations. Some of wich not only visual but also alien feelings i never felt before. i.e for 3 seconds i dreamed of seeing my dog's face , only the whole scene was choppy . I saw Max's long nose in black and white, if you would reduce this down to a more simple object it looks like a block of wood. The scene was completely black and white and in this way it looks more like a drawing of a nose than an actual nose. Watching this scene and almost being it for 3 seconds i was feeling strong alien emotions. I'm not sure if it's the absraction of the scene (it seemed very real) that kinda stirred up these emotions in me or if i was seeing a dog's face in the perspective of a colourblind dog and also feeling emotions the way dogs feel them.

The feeling in my forehead is something else tho, since experiencing it so roughly that night i've been able to bring it up at will and i feel like it's helping me get into HI. I also thought it could have been a hallucination but apperantly it's something else. I suppose it's what they call third eye chakra. I never really believed in it tho so i don't understand why not everyone has this.

Anyway, i didn't really plan to wild this time i just did it because i like hallucinations. I'm still unsure if this is what you call SP or not. I never felt vibrations before.
Is it necessary to feel vibrations when ur in SP and do you have to actually be paralyzed in this state or just feel paralyzed?

There are really no requirements for SP, other than your body being paralyzed. The hallucinations can and generally will start to occur before SP has fully set in. You can hallucinate without being paralyzed and may not feel the intense vibrations at all. It varies from dreamer to dreamer and I have completed many WILD attempts where I really never felt those vibrations. About the pressure on your forehead...it could have something to do with the 3rd eye chakra. I'm not very familiar with these kind of things, but it seems like you have some connection to that way of thinking. I'm sure someone in BD would be able to help you understand that aspect a bit more. Anyway, nice job on your progress and just keep practicing.
