Hello. In the last two weeks I haven’t been able to use my connection, plus I haven’t had much to do at school, and being somewhat tired I tried to actually have an LD. I have had several experiences and I wanted to ask you about what they might actually be. I’m currently experimenting with WILD, altough I still do try to remember to do reality checks.
1)I went to sleep at about 4-5 PM and then awakened at 0:30 (I suppose this counts as WBTB)AM. I ate some pizza, re-reread some lucid dreaming text things had I printed(I use to keep them on the bedside table when I sleep…I suppose it’s a big help) then went to sleep. I was pretty nervous, but then I tried seriously doing WILD…Strangely, something I don’t usually do, I was trying to sleep with my face UP, towards the ceiling(I usually sleep in a 'fetal’position). Fact is, at a certain point I began to feel 'eletric jolts’and it was like i was paralyzed but conscious…I am 99% sure it was some kind of sleep paralysis! I found this neither scary nor exciting, but an 'interesting’thing. Problem Is I got a little nervous at a certain point(probably it’s the thing about feeling ‘presences’)and I moved a little so I either awakened or fell in a non-lucid dream(can’t remember).
By the way, after this I read that If you WANT to enter sleep paralysis it’s best to sleep in this way(face towards the ceiling). Can you confirm this?
2)Another night I remember awakening, doing the nose reality check and getting dream-results, so it was a false awakening. But I think I was actually lucid for some seconds.
I’m also trying to get sleep paralysis again, but the most I can get without WBTB is VERY weak jolts and a little noise in my head. Anyway I think I’m making progress.
