Dream Journal #30, June 6th 2011 Wow, had my first WILD today. I am not so sure that it was the traditional WILD though, but I was conscious through SP and through the dream transition, which were both seriously crazy. I remember hearing footsteps while I was trying to fall asleep, I knew it was my mom. She went in my room, stepped in, stopped, went back down the stairs. I am not sure if this was just a hallucination or if it was real, but I was conscious enough to hear it but not conscious enough to open my eyes and see. Next thing I know (I do not know how much time passed between the gap), I am conscious just a tiny tad bit and I feel like there is someone in the room or something. I open my eyes just a little bit, I see like a shadowy black figure right above my head (I thought it was my moms head trying to listen to me at the time), and then BAM. Vibrations and sleep paralysis. This is my first SP experience, and it was not even that scary. I saw the black shadowy figure and then my arms and neck felt like they were pushed down super hard so that I could not move, and I really could not. I also felt the vibrations and tingly feelings. I closed my eyes and was like, "oh.. sleep paralysis. let us see what this dream transition feels like." No excitement at all or anything I am always relaxed when I am in deep sleep. After a few moments of what seemed like 30 seconds to a minute of vibrations, I feel this sudden surge of my body moving forward and the blackness turning into some sort of scene. I surge and surge and then do a front flip, and then I am sitting on my bed. I look at my hands and they are all crooked, but I am having a hard time trying to focus on them and stabilizing my dream. It is night time and it is dark in my room so I try to bring some light... but the damn light switch does not work. I use my finger to drag the sun up (it is sundown but its still super dark), and it works, but the light from the sun does not get brighter. Frustrated, I turn around, imagine there being light behind me, and turn back around. No light. <PERSON>. I then start to think, "What if I wake up?" The dream scene just suddenly blurs and goes into chaos and I go into an FA which I do not seem to catch. FA is not that important except that I was eating some french fries that tasted really real lol. Oh well, not a very vivid WILD, but the transition from SP to dream was really cool :p
