Thread: Please help, cant seem to get past vibrations!

This is not uncommon.

Be sure not to move your body at all, the smallest movements will alert your brain-body you are awake.

Try altering the intensity of your focus on the exit method in question.

Try a few minutes of meditation before the attempt.

A few things I have done to move through the vibrational state into a full Ld.
1. Imagine a magnetic sphere several feet above your body pulling you upward. Hold it few a few minutes or however long is needed. If you feel your subtle body, dream body, mental body, etc. start to pulse, vibrate, morph, undulate, and so on you are on the right track.
2. Role your mental body around in circles.
3. Focus on where the vibrations are most intense and mentally 'sweep' those regions with your focus, push and pull those vibrations into other parts of the body. One should do this to the point where the vibrations become wholly pervasive through the entire body.
4. Using both tactile and visual imagination, focus on your throat Chakra, imagine it floating out of your body and hovering there.

One may try alternating different methods similar to the rope technique. The latter, net, floating, methods. Or something Like this.

Perhaps do some stretching or take a hot bath before the attempt to increase physical relaxation. Epsom salt I heard can be useful for relaxation.

Be as objective and calm as possible when these things are occurring. Do not let any kind of aversion or attachment muddle your mind and focus. And.

Maybe it would be a good idea, LucidFusion, to try to understand that getting to SP is not a requirement of a successful WILD (neither are vibrations, BTW).

If you had simply let those vibrations pass and stayed focused on your dream, you might have found your dream forming in a few more minutes. Actual SP, with which you are familiar, also pretty much only occurs when you are waking up, so you'll likely never "get to" it during a WILD attempt; the "SP" most people feel during WILD attempts is probably just a sense of deep relaxation or the onset of REM Atonia... and, since REM Atonia only happens after you've fallen asleep and are dreaming, it is a very good idea to ignore it (whatever you want to call it) and join the dream that may have already started.

WILD is not about the noise you experience on the way to sleep, but about nothing more than maintaining your waking-life self-awareness through the falling-asleep process. If you can have your mind in a place that does not expect, or look for, things like vibrations, SP, or hypnagogic Imagery (HI), then you might find WILD's much easier to achieve.

There is more to achieving a WILD than just lying down and holding still; if you are interested, you might check out my DVA WILD class, where maybe you'll find some other things to help you get to your dream.

Oh, and welcome to DreamViews!

Sageous is on point here. You would do well to listen to him.

One thing I like to add about "getting through vibrations" is that vibrations are not a step in the ladder to get to a wild. They are more like a symptom of falling asleep. You might have it, you might not. They are a sign that you are falling asleep, but you don't want to get past them, or you will mess up your sleep. You want to go through them. What happens is that as you are fall asleep and remain aware, you notice that random sensations happen to your body. When you notice these too much, you stop falling asleep and stay awake. The goal is always sleep, and sleep, by my definition is "being disconnected from your immediate surroundings" even if you know what they are, you are disconnected. Paying attention to vibrations and trying to pass through that and concentrate on it will keep you from falling asleep as you keep that connection to waking.

That makes alot of sense, ill give it another go tonight and see if i can WILD

I personally don't mind moving when I'm WILDing. I usually just stay up for 10-30 minutes and simply go back to bed. Lately I've been doing SSILD as well, but for me SP just sets in as I'm falling asleep. As for transitioning into a dream from SP, I simply wait a minute, and the stand up from my bed. At this point I do a RC, and 19/20 times I'm dreaming.

Wait what you just stand up from sp? How isn't your body paralyzed? If i try and move at all i cant
