Been meaning to ask this but have been lazy until I had a strange LD last night. What are the vibrations in WILD like? I’ve tried this method several times and get to a point where my body feels numb, I see HI, hear noises, and sometimes have what I’d call spasms rather than vibrations. I haven’t yet got past this point. The spasms are like local and brief - e.g. my hand, arm, or leg will spasm for 1 to 2 seconds. Is this the vibrations, or is it more like a total body vibration like I describe below?
Last night at about 2:30 a.m. I tried WILD, but quickly fell asleep (I didn’t really wake myself up enough). I went into a ND, which progressed to a point where I was in bed and was trying WILD. I saw HI, heard noises, and had an overall body vibration that could be really felt. I rolled my dream body out of my “real” body, did a reality check, and realized I was lucid. Went on to have a fun LD that lasted a couple of minutes. So, it seems like I had a dream induced WILD (DIWILD?). Was really strange. When I woke up it was I initially thought I had successfully WILD’d, but the clock said it was 4:30 a.m., so when I thought about it I realized what happened.
I feel the vibrations all over my body to varying degrees of intensity. Sometimes it’s a pleasant feeling.
I think I’ve had the same experience you describe. Usually I can WILD fairly easily; it’s how I get to LD about 90% of the time.
One time, It was like I went into a wild like experience from a hazy
dream state.
I think what happened was, I was almost getting ready to awaken from normal sleep, almost awake, and started to go back to the sleep state.
I had just enough consciousness to become aware, and I began to experience HI and eventually went into the LD state. Most of the experience was like a WILD.
That’s my theory too, I never have WILD’s after being fully awake. I usually get to an almost awake state when I try to initiate WILD.
Also, I notice it’s important for me not to move at all after starting to wake up, or I’ll become fully awake. The worst is when I have to move so I can get up and go to the bathroom.
hi… i have had those so called wild vibrations spontaniously few times…
usually after waking from dream it happens like… that i’m on my bed and i start to shake, that could be compared to hard epilepsy stroke.
but it’s very rare that i have been able to do much when those shakes come… usually i just woke up after those… it feels for me really real, but i have proved to myself that it isn’t real, like i have fell on floor from bed while shaking and suddenly when shakes end i’m back on my bed.
but sometimes i after shakes have ended i have realized that i’m in dream…
I guess Artie and Monitor are right. I went back and looked in SL’s EWLD and he said that WILD’s can happen after 1 to 2 seconds of awakening.
Anyway, now I definelty know what the vibrations feel like. The other night I went to bed after having slept for a couple of hours downstairs in front of the TV. As I started to fall asleep I had some dream images and I thought it was a good time to WILD even though it was early in the night. I concentrated on the HI’s and the next thing I knew I was having serious vibrations and heard noises that sounded like thunder or large doors creaking and slamming shut. I was excited, but relaxed. I saw a light and thought about it expanding. It did, but not enough. Then, lights were flashing all over. It seemed like a long time, but I couldn’t get into a dream. The intensity of the vibrations and the noises was going on so long it was beginning to get a bit freaky. I also heard a man’s voice, which sounded like it was right in the room with me. I felt very much paralyzed, and tried rolling my dream body out of my RL body, but ending up waking up after. Was cool in that I really know what the vibrations are like, but wish it resulted in an LD.
I have had similar experiences with the vibrations only there have been times where I have heard screams (ugh) or glorius music. As for rolling out of the body I recommed waiting until your utterly paralyzed. TO get into the paralyzed state cocentrate on the feeling of your body until it goes num
what if the reason we hear different sounds and see different HI that its like we’re entering a different realm? The visual and auditory hallucinations could be someone’s else’s dreams/thoughts.
