I keep readiing in people's DJs that when they try to WILD, they experience vibrations. What's that?
-
It's a sensation that you may feel when attempting to WILD. Not everyone experiences it, but when you are about to consciously enter into sleep paralysis (or rather, REM atonia), it is common to feel as if your whole body is vibrating.
-
I feel it pretty regularly during WILD. Ever had a limb fall asleep and then had that odd vibrating sensation as the feeling returned? For me, it's like that - very gentle and over my whole body.
That's usually a sure sign that it is time to either do an RC or roll out of my body.
If you follow Clairity's WILD method, you wait for the second round of vibrations - if memory serves.
-
There are two very different sets of vibrations I have experienced.
One, is a feeling of electricity shooting down the legs. The is VERY unmistakeable.
The other I experience is described by Yuschak in his book on LDS. This is also a very profound experience and one I have often. I start to feel my head and neck vibrate. It starts slow and can build to a very intense feeling. I am sure that it's a matter of perception and that my head and neck are stationary. The sensation feels like it goes on forever, but in reality, it might be 10-15 seconds. Usually when the sensation ends, I am dreaming. So it's a transitionary event (wakeful state to dreamstate).
-
The physical sensation I have experienced while WILD'ing is floating or sinking into my bed. I will hear a loud rushing sound and shortly after I will feel my body float off the bed and come back down and that's when I know I am in the dream.
-
For what it's worth, when I WILD I also usually feel my astral body rise up and get sucked back into what feels like my physical self. Yes, at that point I am dreaming.
-
Cool. Thanks for good answers!
I've never tried to WILD, because I can't get myself up after 5 hours of sleep :P I'll probably try it but not right now... I've only had DILDs ever, so I was curious...

Ever try to DEILD?
When you leave a dream and wake up in the middle of the night, try to lie perfectly still. Don't move a muscle. Relax and try to drift back off.
The fact that you remain stationary can sometimes fool the body into going directly back into stage 5 sleep (REM).
What's hard about WILDing, is the brain usually digresses to non-REM, even if only for a short while when you fall asleep. DEILD is a way to beat that problem. The other obvious way is AcH impacting supps like galatamine.

Hehe, I never ever wake up for no reason. Can't remember the last time I got up to go to the bathroom :)
EDIT: But I do remember one lucid when I was a child talking to a parrot on a cloud and my mother woke me up, and I told her to wait a minute, went back to the dream, told the parrot that I had to go but thanks for the talk, and woke up again :D

Another 20 years or so will fix that problem.

Yep I know, so I'm enjoying this while it lasts 8)

Nah,I'm sure none can't wait that much :P

REM Atonia is when you're body paralyzes itself during sleep. This happens every night (or atleast it should ._.) . Sleep Paralysis is when your body becomes paralyzed outside of the REM cycle.
There are many things that can happen during the Sleep Paralysis state (or rather, the Hypnogogia state, which is when the brain is going from awake to sleep), and vibrations is pretty common.
-
I used to get vibrations even when I become lucid on realising that I was dreaming from DILDS but now I don't get them anymore. These were whole body vibrations.
I haven't successfully WILDed yet but I will look out for any vibrations should I make it that far :D

That's my problem. I can be perfectly aware, feeling vibrations and everything, but then the next thing I know I'm awake and have just had a non-lucid. It's SO irritating, :mad: and it happens all the time.
I feel vibrations when I WILD, but usually only in my head and neck. Then that's usually about as far as I get. I've tried RC'ing right after they stop, but I'm always still awake. A handful of times I've felt whole body vibrations. When WILD'ing works for me, I usually feel a huge rush of energy, like chills up my spine and really intense butterflies in my stomach. It's awesome. I wish I could feel it more often. :'( :'( :'(
