Last night while I was trying apathetically attempting to WILD, I heard this weird repetitive sound. All of a sudden, my “mind wanderings” became extremely vivid. It was so crisp and clear. I couldn’t believe it. There was a bright blue sky crowning the canopy of fall trees. Weird black amorphous tentacles flailed wildy throught the branches. The noise became louder and the clarity suprised me out of the state. It sounded like breathing. Picking my head up from the pillow I could still hear it. Horrified, I turned on my lights and searched my room. Nothing, but I could still hear it! I left the room and got a glass of water, the sound followed me all the way to the sink. After nervously gulping the water down, the sound dissapitated. Slighlty shaken up, I returned to my room and it was quiet. I flicked the switch and continued to try to WILD. It came back. Along with a kissing sensation in my mouth and an odd twitch on my eyebrow. Completely terrified, I rode it out hoping it would carry me into an LD, but it didn’t.
Hopefully this doesn’t happen again tonight, it really scared me. This is one of the oddest things that has happened in dreaming phenomenon including Bridging.
Anyone have any experience with these syndromes?
who knows…did you RC when you went to go drink some water? maybe you didnt realise that you were kinda snoring or soemthing and you were actualy sleeping and it has turned into a LD? did u RC?
Well, I do this quite frequently, but I use more Mind eye visuals rather than your Minds ears. If you was probably thinking of music, by that i mean actually listening to music in your mind, eventually, your mind will wander, it’ll change song or tone to anything and you suddenly think ‘Wow, what am i listening too?’ and you’ll be brought out of the trance And it still could carry on even after waking up from the mini visualsization.
What usually happens to me is that I’m thinking of something visually, then it changed to something else very weirdly, When I see the change, I suddenly realise im in a trance and i can’t actually feel my body or anything for a split second but i instantly wake and come aware again, I also quite regulary see the image behind imprinted on my eyes, or opening my eyes.
That sounds cool. And it has happened to me aswell, it wont harm you.
Of course you can hear things, aswell as see things, and smell things. Visual is most common, but it is sometimes accompanied by sounds. Such as rythmic beats, or jet engine sounds. (thats when you attempt to WILD)
What!? Smell things! That’s absolutely crazy. The subconsious is too smart for it’s own good. I was pretty sure the whole ordeal was harmless once I figured out some seven foot escaped convict or a flesh eating zombie wasn’t standing on the other side of the room hungrily watching me in the dark. My imagination also kind of blows out of context when trying to WILD. Thanks for your input, it’s interesting to see what other people have experienced.
