I wish I could help, but I'm about at the same place. (Without WBTB, so I suppose I could try and add that...) |

I am trying to learn to WILD. I have had little success. However, I am consistently able to achieve sleep paralysis. |

12 LDs ('08): [WILD: 4 (4/22) (5/2, 4) (6/1)] [DILD: 6 (3/19) (4/29, 30) (5/7, 19, 28)] [DEILD: 1 (4/19)] [VILD: 1 (4/27)]
Are you sure its SP? |

I often get the same problem you're describing. I feel intense vibrations, do not fully fall asleep, and can't progress. I'm still working on figuring this out, because a lot of people have this problem. |
|
So Vild is the way to go, at this point? |
|
Tactile sensations are physical feelings. Like you imagine the feeling of movement. Or the feeling of a cold metal dorrknob in your hand. You want to really imagine the physical feeling of it and how it makes your imaginary body feel. |
|
I will try this tonight, tactile sensations, thanks. |
|
Just focus on one for tonight. Something you can imagine easily. Running down a familiar street, or rolling side to side on your bed, or bouncing on your mattress. Anything you come up with thats easy for you to really get into. Do it over and over until it becomes real (well, as real as a dream can be). |
|
Will do. Keep it simple. |
|
ya i would guess that your mind is too conscious or aware. what i mean by that is you are probably focusing too much on the feeling of SP, instead you should focus on something else through visualization. counting can work also but for some it is too simple a task to totally occupy their mind. |

Oh just a side note. Im yet to WILD after waking up during the night. |

I tried it but didn't succeed. I will try again. |

Another classic visual one is to use a chalkboard and write each number, then erase it and write the next in the sequence. I think Clairity describes it in her WILD tutorial |
|
Have you tried this yourself? Normally, how long does it take you to WILD? |
|
I don't do the chalkboard, but I know lots of people do. Honestly, most of my WILDs just turn into MILDs. That is, they fail, but then I end up recognizing the dream anyways as soon as I enter it. Just thinking about it so much while falling asleep triggers a DILD. |
|
I normally lie there for 50 minutes with no success? |
|
I wouldn't worry or concentrate on sleep paralysis. I suppose I have been in it but I don't really know it. I just try to relax my body, contracting then relaxing each muscle group, one at a time beginning with your toes and going all the way to your head helps. Then try to quite your mind while remaining aware. I find doing the MILD method statements, after waking from 4 or 5 hours sleep, but trying not fall asleep works well, if all goes well you will have a WILD, and if you fall asleep you may have a MILD. It has worked for me though. Also if you experience sounds, I've heard voices, pots banging sounds etc. or feel yourself floating out of your body, you have likely WILDed. I usually will myself to float towards the ceiling, and if I time it right, and don't get excited I will do so. Not getting excited or scarred is the key here. I believe some people have already WILDed, but they don't realize it. No dream scene has yet materialized for me, I am awake but with closed eyes, I float out of my body, and have to open astral eyes to see, then I can fly or walk around inside my house, this is getting frustrating for me, I want to do more than walk around a dark house at 4 or 5:00 in the morning, but I usually wake up before I can do something else. |
|
If you're just lying there awake for 50 minutes, you probably need to try to let your mind wander a bit. Remember you do actually need to fall asleep. You just need to keep a small part of your consciousness aware while you do it. You're not trying to keep yourself awake, you're trying to just pay attention while you fall asleep. |
|
Thanks guys, I try again tonight. |
|
How awake do you make yourself after thw wbtb? |

I have similar problems on most nights, I can personally hit SP in about 5 minutes without trying, but I rarely make it to the dream. I have a feeling that its just because im not.. "deep" enough in SP. |
