Thread: Thoughts on WILDing, Sleep Paralysis, and Getting into It

Hello all,

Note: these are my observations, not a technique or anything

I'm a student at university so I naturally find myself thinking about WILDing when I wake up. My experience with WILDs are interesting as that I always feel my limbs go numb as one would expect from SP, but I can always move if I try. I can see something like HI but I always fall asleep. That said I guess I'm moving more towards DEILD or WBTB technique to balance things out and make SP achievable.

I've gotten to thinking that the thing to do is to not focus on it as a logical progression and see the HI as the goal. I can see things which I think are HI, it looks like shapes moving across my field of view. But I never get it much past that, which I find interesting. Do you guys feel like theres a movement from HI to the dream? How do you perceive it?

I'm thinking that the issue with my WBTB is that I'm actually getting up, perhaps a DEILD is the better option as it would keep a measure of relaxation in my limbs as it were. What do you think? I've tried many things and have WILDed before, but that was a while ago. What do you guys make of this? I am I failing to get into SP, or am I getting to the HI and missing it because I'm trying to get into SP? Or am I completely insane, and trying too hard?

I can realize when I wake up, but my in dream awareness is lacking.

Any help is appreciated.
