First time WILD

Hey everyone. I havent had a lucid dream yet but ive been using the WILD tecnique for the past few nights with no results. This is probably becuase ive been falling asleep without realizing it -.- in my head i count "1, im dreaming, 2 im dreaming, 3, im dreaming..." etc. what is a better way to stay awake for me? and im also afraid that i will become too aware and snap out of sleep paralysis. I havent achieved sleep paralysis that i know of

Don't just count. Focus. Focus on your breathing, your thoughts, be aware of your mind and body.

Also, if you feel you fall asleep too easily try staying up a few more minutes before your WILD.

I've been reading a lot on just WILD technique. I found out that i need to get some sleep before i try it? i never knew that. So now im not sure what to do because my first day of school is tomorrow and i thought that WILD would be an easy way to lucid dream without causing me to lose sleep.

You need to sleep at least five to six hours before trying a WILD. As far as counting goes, don't change anything. Just continue doing that and try harder to stay aware.
