Thread: Why You Fail at WILDs

thanks

It's okay to swallow, really.

LOL. Whenever I'm trying to fall asleep without losing consciousness, I seem to lose the ability to move my throat. It's like, if I swallow, I'm scared it'll jolt me awake because it's so loud. lolol. So I get so nervous that swallowing will wake me up that the nervousness wakes me up o.e lol good tip.

Yeah it is.

I read you're tutorial and it's quite simular to what I've been doing lately!
My consisting problem is that whenever I reach the random thoughts and images stage I realise it and jolt awake.

What can I do to recognize it and get along with it without being right awake?

Beautiful Thread!

Thanks for all of the tips. I have a question about my experience with WILDing...
When I WILD, after some time, I feel a sort of numbness over my whole body, except for my head. Is this a good sign? Am I close? I have tried multiple times, and get the same results. I cannot get past this stage. Also, every once in a while I will get a pretty loud ringing in my ears.
I think my problem is that I can't really fall asleep. I have trouble doing that, because when I WILD, I find it much harder to fall asleep than if I am normally trying to fall asleep. I have tried many counting, and many other mental techniques, but nothing has seemed to work. Any tips? Does it sound like I am on the right track?

After reading this, I can see thatI have been doing what you say doesn't help ^^. I will keep this thread in mind, and work on it for a while

great post

This is a great post
I tried my wild for the first time last night, and failed because i think i got confused/wasn't expecting a new sensation
Woke up round 4:30
Sat up
lied on back and started counting
turned over to my belly
At about 300 in my counting i could see clouds behind my eyelids,
i stopped counting and tried to remain awake observing sensations
I started hearing sounds like my sister playing her chimes upstairs (my whole family are musicians including me) at first i thought my sister was rude for playing at 4 in the morning then i realized the music wasn't real and it was probably hypnagogia
The sounds were fleeting, like i'd have to listen for them
then i heard saxophone playing upstairs, was too good to be my brother haha
started having little dreamlets like kind of imagery, I cant remember it now, but I felt like my hands were moving
dont know how long i stayed like that
saw some flashes heard a loud tsing tsing electric buzzing and felt it too. the buzzing was very distracting and it was significantly harder to breath. my breathing was good, it was just shallow. my pulse was up too
it freaked me out and i woke up. (It didnt really scare me, i just wasn't expecting such a intense feeling of like vibration or something)
couldn't move very well so i held my breath and wiggled my fingers until I could move well.
and it was 5:05

I feel like i was really close to a WBTB / WILD dream

I'm going to try again tomorrow night
(Also going to sleep on my back this time so maybe if the buzzing electric noises and tingling happens ill feel more comfortable)

Thanks Mzzkc - I can't open this link - can you get it up and running? Ta

How to trick your body into falling asleep

OMG THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. I always WILD'ed by accident and whenever I purposely try one I struggle. I think I might actually try a WILD tonight!

This is a pretty neat post! Loved reading it.
