i have had the same problems as you when i attempt WILDs. ill eventually just fall asleep or my mind will just drift off and ill realize im not focusing ont he WILD. recently though i tried to WILD during the middle of the day and i wasn't succesful in LDing but i did reach the hypnogogic stage and felt my eyes moving rapidly. So all i can suggest is that you try a WILD in the middle of the day when your not tired enough to just fall asleep. When you do this really focus on staying awake and focus on the WILD. i tried visualizing a landscape. Look at a nice picture of some place before hand and try to visualize it during the WILD. i hope this helps a little, just don't give up eventually you will succeed! |

You said you rolled over, so let me mention this. If you normally try to WILD in one position, but sleep in a different one. Try doing the WILD in the position you sleep in. For me, I usually try to do WILD's laying on my back, but sleep on my side. Switching position to one your more comfortable in means you fall asleep quicker. There is pro and cons to that. Quicker sleep means its easier to drift off by accident, but at the same time means you don't need to focus as long. |

i can't say for sure but i think it is normal for your eyes to move rapidly. im assuming that means your just going through a REM cycle which is when most LDs occur according to what ive read. My eyes moved so rapidly that i was fighting to keep them shut. |

This same thing is is happening to me, even the rapid eyelid movement. I'm on my 5th wild attempt now. Guess i'll take a break for a day and try again tommorow. |

'I never get hypnotic imagery' means you are waiting for images to come to you. Don't wait! Imagine your own images. Visualizing and Dreaming occur in the same location of our occipital lobe ... the secondary visual cortices (collectively called the cortex). In a deep state a relaxation visualize something (preferably something non-threatening). |

Yep, really the best advice anyone can give an attempting WILDer is |

Hey people...honestly I listen to music whenever i try to WILD (I listen to 2 steps from Hell) and that usually keeps me awake long enough to open my eyes in the dream world. Oh and I can induce this tingling sensation throughout my body, and I know that my body has to be completely relaxed whenever I do it (that is how I make my body think I'm asleep ). But yeah I know people don't recommend it, but try listening to some music on low volume when you WILD, just make sure the music isn't too relaxing lol. |

I think i got the closest I've ever gotten to SP purposefully last night. I blame my laziness for not wanting to get up a 6am. I don't wait long enough before going back to bed so I crash. |

awesome, i came close to LDing twice i think this week from attempting WILDs. i would get to the hypnogogic stage and see purple patterns and such but i wouldn't know what to do after that. i tried visualizing something but nothing happened. i would feel my eyes try to open but i wasn't sure if i opened them i would wake up or if i would open them and be in a dream. thats my only real problem now. |
