So last night i attempted my first WBTB in a long time. On the first time trying to sleep before the alarm was set to wake me up, i was visualizing things i wanted to dream about. The things i was visualizing were sexual in nature and when i got really into it, my heart rate started to go very fast, i could feel my heart beat all over my body along with my eyelids starting to move rapidly. I at first thought the heart rate was due to being sexually aroused. But when i did the WBTB attempt when the alarm woke me up later, the same things happened, only this time i wasn’t sexually aroused (wasn’t visualizing the same things). Is this normal for entering SP? I do suffer from health anxiety and often worry i will have a heart attack at any second, so obviously this made my think my heart was gonna explode or something.
Also, when the rapid eyelid movement occured, i saw a white glow. Dunno if this was my ceiling or not though.
Don’t worry, everything is fine with you. As far as I can say that was SP onset. Meaning that you’re close to performing a WILD. I’m not completely sure anymore why your hart starts racing, but I’ve had that as well, the eye twitching is known as the Rapid Eye Movement (Ring a bell? REM-sleep )
Sadly, entering is the most difficult
The white glow might just have been the start of a dream forming.
Use the search function to find ways of entering. Feel free to ask more.
Well, the experience is extremely subjective. By that I mean it’s different for everybody.
For me, It usually starts with my breathing getting very deep and very fast!
My eyes twitch and I can feel my hart race. When I get really deep I feel energetic vibrations pass through me (That’s the only way I can explain the sensation) and I hear this oscillating noise really loudly. The sound and vibrations are more a part of the actual SP, but are also there slightly beforehand
So no, I don’t feel my heart race through my whole body but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feel it.
So while i was trying the WILD method again last night, i can tell you where i felt the heart beat. I felt it on my chest and my shoulders, thats how far it goes.
