Thread: how to wake up the mind but not the body with WBTB ?

Hmm cant give you any good advice but please note that you don't have to go trough SP in order to WILD. ( that's what I'm said by others [ experienced ones ] )

ironically, that is somthing i have discovered quite recently. in the past i have taken the physical approach, wait for SP, focus on HH, and let it take me into dream.
but that was not working.

so im going for visulaisation, if i visualise myself in a scenario, and do stuff (eg explore) then the scenario will turn into a dream, and i will be there. apparently

i find that keeping a stable visualisation going can be quite hard, especially if iv just woken up for WBTB (that is why im trying to find ways to wake up the mind / make it more active), but apparently as i enter the sleep, the visualisation will be easier to sustain, until it will sustain itself, and everything will become much clearer.

well thats the plan

I always have a hard time striking the right balance, too. Wake myself up too much, and I can't fall back to sleep at all. Not enough, and I go unconscious as soon as my head hits the pillow.

I try not to do any physical activity. No stretching or face washing. I sit down and read or do a few math problems. I've tried a quick video game, but found it too distracting. Doing stuff on the computer seems to wake me too much. The light from the computer screen is too bright.

I like reading a (non-digital) book about dreaming, or reviewing my dream journal for dream signs.
