Voices

So let me walk you through what I did yesterday night. (End of streak to 6 ) I decided to try the technique that gave me my first and only LD: The Yell And Be Mad At Yourself technique. Basicly I go in my room and start talking about how I cannot seem to LD and telling myself to RC and such. It worked the first time So I go to sleep and try to stay pissed off so its my last though before sleeping. I still try to relax and, without even wanting it, I start seeing blue in my eyes. It starts as blue, then there is a voice that is saying stuff in my head. Not just a whisper; a very clear, solid, manly voice. Also there appears to be a creepy music in the back. My first though is that my parents are watching the TV too loud. But then patterns start appearing. The form was some kind of spiky circle. I do not know what the name of the shape is. So i am starting to realize I may be in SP. My heartbeat starts racing. I also felt something in my eye, some kind of tingle. Although the voice is creepy, i am not scared. Hell i have been trying so hard to SP i am not chickening out anytime soon. Then I stopped, because I know its impossible to dream before going to bedand i am tired. Besides, I never wanted to WILD in the first place! But before sleeping, I get up and go around the house. Both parents sleeping, NO TV, NO COMPUTER. HELL YEAH! I Am hallucinating! Yipee! And even if the TV was on, you cannot ignore patterns and colors. Note: This is really weird. To keep my mind awake, I started singing the song by The AA Rejects, Gives you hell. And for like a splitsecond, it felt real. It was loud, and I could hear it as clear if I was listening for real. Is that common? Now this morning, I noticed something: My YABMAY technique not only did nothing, but completely fucked up my recall. I remember absolutely nothing, but it was to be expected. Stress and nervouseness decreases recall, I heard. I tried to see if I could go in SP again at 7 and saw blue, but no voice or pattern. Now here is my questions: Was I really in SP? I Am used to thinking it is sleep paralysis while it is only numbness. The first time, I was sleeping on my stomach (my reg position) but in the morning I tried on my back. Any impact? 7 is the time when I Am simply not tired enough to fall asleep. At that time, I know going back to sleep is not an option. But if I try WILD in the morning, maybe my body could not fall asleep? After all, my mind cannot. Can YABMAY do any good? Is there a "right" way to do it so it does not mess up my recall? I Am thinking of turning more of my attention on WILD. I do not like going to bed not knowing wether I will have an LD or not. Luck is not a big friend of mine. Is spending more time on WILD a mistake? TY BY THE WAY: I Am going to see <PERSON> in person backstage this weekend! Wish me luck

I was laying in bed and I could not fall asleep. Then finally I got relaxed and I felt I guess what is known as the roll over signal. I decided to roll over and see if I would enter SP fast.
