      I Hate WBTB

      This morning I woke up at 8.00am after getting 6 hours sleep. Anyway I stayed awake for a while, reading a few things about WILDs on my computer and went back to bed after (somewhere around 9.00am give or take a few minutes). I got relaxed and before long I was completely numb.

      Then I started counting "1. I am dreaming...2. I am dreaming...etc" at every exhale and got to around 600. Somewhere in between my back started getting really sore which usually only happens if I sleep like 14 hours but I kept on going. I was in transition for i'd say about 30mins until eventually I gave up.

      After I was done I looked at my phone and it was 10.20am!! 80 minutes and still nothing. Well, I think its safe to say WBTB doesnt work for me . I thought you were supposed to go directly into REM sleep with WBTB.

      Does anyone have any pointers or know if I had stayed conscious 10 more minutes would I have entered REM?

      Well, going to sleep at 2 AM is way too late. Try going to sleep at around 10 or 11 and waking up at 4 or 5 latest. At 8, you're more alert and awake, and then it is way too hard to go back to sleep. You want to be in a very low brainwave state so you can still be sleepy when going back to bed. Try it again, but at around the times I said before.

      You didn't do just WBTB you added WILD to it, in fact, all of that is a WILD, if you want to use WBTB that does not include falling asleep consciencely, although I do recommend you combine it with MILD, wake up after 6 hours of sleep, or even 5 if you have to get up early, then tell yourself that the next place you will be is a dream, then imagen that lucid dreaming feel. then just fall asleep, unconsciencely.



      I wanna be the very best
      Like no one ever was
      To lucid dream is my real test
      To control them is my cause
