It seem that it just doesn’t work for me… i lay onmy back, i close my eyes, i concetrate to the black and purple that i “see”, but nothing happens. Maybe WILD is not for me…
By the way, usually only black and purple i “see”. And some very faint yellow.
I will try a different approaching that is based on WILD.
I used to see the colored specks when I was younger. They would screw around with me every night for a few years. I had to sleep in my moms room because they scared the shit out of me. They would cover my body and my hands and they would make weird shapes. Sometimes something like an icecream cone and sometimes a lion or elephant.
I get this as well, I think. My heart rate suddenly increases, and I realise I am on the verge of sleep, and then wake up straight away! I’d always thought the heart rate increase was due to me getting excited at nearly being asleep, but I now realise it’s probably a signal of oncoming SP. Never actually had it myselfthough, not particularly looking forward to if/when I do!
Ive had one, it freaked me the hell out, that show I came across this site searching for what just happened.
I guess it was just a normal night and I woke up on my bell facing my wall. I tried to move my arm out from underneath my chin (i was using kind of as a pillow you know) and I couldn’t. I remember staring at the wall infront of me, thinking there was something behind me, I couldnt turn around, I tried to yell for my mom (like a bitch…haha i know) and I couldnt. After 10 seconds or so I just got up.
My SP was a bit weird too, it was yesterday (not at night) I woke up from a failed LD, and being suprised I tried to get up, it felt as if something bubbled in my stomach as I tried to move my arm, it also felt like I was moving my arm. Though it only lasted 10 seconds, I was kind of freaked. (I didn’t experience the haulisantion).
and i suddenly woke up…my friend was near me and talking to me as if i could respond…i was kinda worried since i could not move my body at all…
he left…i felt like getting up…but i could not? i felt so relaxed…
edit: everything was kinda grey/blue
… And your ‘friend’ was only a hallucination I presume?
he was real…i think…i was with him later in the day.
So does it happen often that your friend stays with you even after you’ve gone to sleep? 
I would be kinda’ freaked if I woke up and had like my friend standing beside my bed.
noess 
that could be annoying 
could it be Sleep Paralysis?
your sig made me crash for a while btw 
You never wondered why your friend was at your bed? You just accepted that it happened without questioning it?
Uhm…i didnt say he was in the bed 
Neither did I, but it doesn’t happen too often that I’m waking up with my friend standing next to my bed.
was he a DC? How can i understand if he isn’t real?
Ask him if he was next to your bed some nights ago.
How can he be next to your bed? Is he your room-mate?
In the morning i really feel excited and ready to try WILD.
At night i get totally scared, and i don’t want to see hallucinations.
It seems that i won’t be ever ready for this challenge.
Does anyone feel like explaining this Old Hag thing to me?
I am new here, but I gather that she (?) is a hallucination that is common to many people? Across different ages, times, and cultures?
If that’s so, that is just too weird. Kind of like the bright light at the end of the tunnel with NDE’s, only WAY harder for the skeptics to dismiss, if it’s true. I kinda want to see her - I’ve got a few questions for her 
If anyone can point me to more info on her, or set me straight or whatever if I’m way off base, I’d appreciate it 
I think you will find the wiki interesting
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis
especially the folklore part near the bottom of the page.
And yes, it’s an hallucination that the mind creates to explain away the sensations of sleep paralysis.
Ohh ok thanks for the link, Moogle 
I guess I’ve never had hallucinations with SP. I used to get SP in childhood a lot. Less so now, and I don’t even always recognize it. Now I usually just think one of the cats is sleeping on my back. I don’t find it to be scary, but then I don’t see hags or demons attacking me, either - that might change things a little! 
my brain often incorperates my real surroundings from my bedroom into sleep paralysis… for example: one time i was having SP and it was like i was fully awake, i was sliding off the side of my bed onto the floor in slow motion and i could not move at all the right myself, i was desperatley trying to get the words “help me!!!” out to my brother who was lying next to me. in reality he wasnt there at all. sometimes i dream people are all around me too, people i know just going on and chit chatting like im not there and nothing is going on… all in a dream tho while im in SP. very weird.
