Thread: My Problem With Wild

Itches go away. Suck it up and ignore it.

I have the same problem. Actually, first I'll be hot, then I push the covers off and I'm cold. I can't get in a comfortable position. The wrinkles in my pillow-case bother me. My toe or something starts randomly hurting. Suddenly I can hear my heart-beat and my breathing is really loud. My thoughts wander and I feel really awake. And of course the itches.

But: I still try, beause one of good three things can happen:
1) Rarely, very rarely, I actually succeed at WILD.
2) I fall asleep and have a DILD or at least a vivid regular dream.
3) Solutions to problems that seemed really complicated the day before just pop into my head; like whole ideas that I just couldn't seem to come up with appear fully-formed, as I'm trying to count and have HI.

So it is still worth trying.

i agree with ataraxis.

the first time i WILDed it itched in the beginning. so just keep counting

Word! Totally Agree on that.

If you start to itch, concentrate on something else. It's hard, but it pays off in the end. *balances hands* Scratch itch....or LD?

I have the same itch problem, and I start concentrating on not thinking about it, but I am actually thinking about, and because I am thinking about itching, I get and itch in another place, and then another and then just like delta I am like "fuck this good night"

You can still scratch and then have a WILD. Just do it quickly, while keeping your eyes closed and try not to think about it much! It is not necessary for everyone to lay perfectly still for 1 or 2 hours to have a WILD. Hell, the last time I had one, I turned over maybe 4-5 times or maybe more.

The same thing happen's to me! Just last night I was wondering why I alway's
get all itchy just when I am trying to Wild. It doesn't happen durring the day!

And also, I can never stay in a wild for more than a moment or two.
I can slide into a dream fully aware almost every night, at least when ever
I can keep my thought's from wandering. but I just look around a little bit,
then slide back awake. I don't even count these as lucid Dream's.
anyone have any advise on how to stay in it?

You will have an itch or an ache almost every time you attempt to WILD. It is a natural body reaction. Unless, you don't mind significantly lowering your chances of succeeding in the WILD, you have to ignore it. It goes away rather quickly.

I also have this problem, i got a good bit of advice which i took, don't bother with WILDing for the moment since it is a hard technique to perfect and itches and scratches are only the tip of the iceberg, just try another induction technique, theres plenty to choose from
