I hit the transition to Sleep Paralysis! But the experience was so intense and I accidentally moved! Damnit! Anyway so here is the story: I laid down for yet another WILD attempt I had stretched, cleared my mind, and gotten all ready. So I laid down and started focusing on my breathing and the canvas that was the back of my eyelids. I could not seem to get anything as far as visual goes for the hypnagogics. But eventually I started getting my auditory. At first it was just the usually tones and shit. Then I got a really freaky one. It was a female voice, middle-aged. She said "Lay down, you need to sleep" over and over. It was creepy. But I was patient. I then got a really bright light in my right peripheral as if there was some light on my night stand. It looked like an external light. That lasted for a while and finally. I then got a hypnagogic smell. I smelled rotten eggs in the room and thought "god what is that?" but every time I try to smell to get a better whiff of it, it went away. A short while later, I felt my entire body go tense. It was indescribable. My heart started pounding very loudly and fast. It resonated through my entire body. Every muscle in my body was as tense as could be. Then I accidentally moved from the intensity so my body said "hey, you are not asleep. Fuck you" and feeling rushed back to every limb, although the "vibrations"( I assume were what I was describing as my massive heartbeat ), were still going. I tried for a while then realized that I had failed and got up. I did a RC which passed I had indeed failed.
