      Help with Wild!

      Hello I am new here ,I have been trying to preform wild for a week
      now,I am a natural lucid dreamer and I had lucid dreams from age 14
      (about 2-3 per month). But last week I had a new thing that happened to me
      .I was very tired and did some relaxation techniques before bed(I wasnt even aware of the wild phenomenon) and after a while I started felling numbness,this numbness turned into full sleep paralysis to the point where I did not feel like I have a body(yet I was not dreaming) this was followed by a sensation of spinning and sinking until I got too scared and woke up.Since then I have been reading a lot about wild and trying to perform it (here in the forums and other resources)
      but am not able to project myself into a dream for some reason.I am able to reach a full sleep paralysis very quickly and feel some sensation after a while yet I do not experience any HI or HS. I try to visualize different things when I feel the sensations but it seems they only last a few moments and Strangely I sometimes
      feel too concentrated or too awake to sleep and when I just try to passively observe, my mind wonders of to other thoughts which distract me.
      Also when I quit(after an hour or so) and change position, I fall asleep
      instantly.

      I need some help because I feel that I am so close and I have been growing
      impatient to reach lucidity .

      Any comment will be appreciated.

      Never, ever try to WILD before you have already been asleep.

      (Although it is possible to WILD in naps)

      Yeah, WILDs right before bed = probably not going to happen. WBTB is your best bet. After about 5-5.5 hours is a good time to get up at, around then is your longest REM period.
      WILDs - 38
      MILD/DILDs - 44
      VILDs - 8
      TILDs - 1 (Thirst Induced Lucid Dream, never going through that experience again...)
      Total: 98 - So close to the big 100

      I'd agree. Those are usually the symptoms of wanting to WILD so much that it's impossible to achieve. Also, no offense, but how are 2-3 LDs a month make you a "natural lucid dreamer." I know plenty of people that do not consider themselves experienced LDers and have the same amount of LDs.
      Willing to talk about/listen to anything you have to say.

      I did not mean to consider myself experienced,I just pointed the fact that
      I have been lucid dreaming naturally without actually trying to induce them.
      it was just to let you guys know that I do know how a lucid feels like.I did not mean to boast my lucidity skills because I am quite aware that I am a novice.

      As for wilding....

      I have been trying wbtb and got very close to wilding

      but I either lost my lucidity or fell asleep,I think I just need practice and I will nail it down.

      Also a very strange thing happened to me , I was in bed trying to wild and fell asleep.
      I was dreaming about trying to wild and actually making the transition and as I finished the
      transition I woke up with a painful buzz in my head(followed by a high pitch sound)
      this was very scary because it actually seemed to effect my brain...
      I felt like I have done a lot of brain activity or something(like doing math for a long period).

      anyone has ever experienced something like that?
