Thread: How to NOT move your eyes?

I have decided to quit putting all of my time into trying to DILD, though I am not trying to prevent it. I have now moved to the area of WILD. When WILDing my two biggest problems are itchiness and moving my eyes like crazy, and I am pretty sure I know how to solve the itchiness.

What can I do to prevent my eyes from twitching like someone in a seizure? Last night I lied there for about 25 minutes just trying to relax my eyes but it wouldn't work. Any advice?

Try reverse blinking
Do it after your relaxtion and stretching.

Basically right before you stop moving for minutes on end

Okay, thanks dude. I'll try this in the morning.

It's my pleasure ^.^

Try reverse blinking; it'll help relax your whole body, including your eyes. Also try the "third-eye" technique - in a nutshell, you close your eyes and focus on the point in between them, a bit upwards. It can make your eyes slightly sore but you don't have to do it forever. It should make your eyes more tired after you're finished with it.

Then again, you don't even have to worry about your eyes moving! Since your eyes naturally move in REM (rapid eye movement ), it shouldn't work against tricking your body into SP... As long as you don't become annoyed that they won't stop moving. In that case, try the above techniques.

Good luck!

But you normally don't fall asleep into REM, isn't the WILD technique to trick yourself into doing so? That is at least what I read on a WILDing tutorial.

But anyways, thanks, I will do both methods and see where that takes me.

One is most successful at WILD when they wake up in the middle of the night - also known as in the middle of a REM cycle. No, you don't normally fall asleep into REM, but at night when you wake up, you sure do. Same when you go for a nap, 5-6 hours after waking up in the morning. If you weren't in a REM cycle, if you were to successfully WILD (it's fairly difficult to do that if you aren't in one) the dream would be either unstable, poor quality, or nonexistent - you might just fall asleep unconsciously, as usual.

Good luck!

AARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!! STUPID FORUM!!!!!! Twice? Refused to post my post twice?

Well, now that that's out of the way...

Last night before bed I decided to test how far into the WILD process I could go without being in REM recently. After I was lying there for an hour, I had entered SP. I have heard many horror stories about SP alone, and I don't know why, because it was pretty cool! When I put all of my strength into moving my legs, it barely worked, and it was like trying to move them through half melted wax. After a few more minutes I started to feel vibrations, so I kept myself calm and waited it out. It went away after a minute, and I still waited a while but nothing further happened. When my WILD alarm went off, I was too lazy to do it, but I will probably be able to do it on the weekend though.

And thanks again for the methods, they allowed me to get half way through the process, even when it had been like 15 hours since a REM cycle.
