I've attempted to WILD a few times since I began LDing. Last night I thought I'd give it another go.

After researching all the techniques and whatnot all day, I felt pretty confident that I'd be successful...at least to get to SP or HI.

So I went to bed at 9pm last night. I woke at 2.35pm naturally (couldn't recall a single dream, which is really odd for me). I figured that it might be a good time to try since it had been 5.5 hours. So after writing that I didn't remember anything in my dream journal, I went back to bed, and gave it a go.

I laid there completely motionless until 4.07am (didn't know that long had past). Nothing happened. No HI, no SP, I didn't even feel tired anymore. In fact, I couldn't get back to sleep once I gave up, and ended up staying up for the rest of the night. I was really stiff once I did end up moving, and made sure to RC to make sure I wasn't actually in a LD.

Problems, that I'm sure contributed...my wife was rolling every 5-10 minutes, and ended up kicking my legs 3 times during this hour and a half. But even with that, I remained motionless. Also at a few points, I had some twitches in my fingers, and my eyes also started twitching a bit at one point.


So, where did I go wrong? Should I not try this since my wife isn't still at night? Should I only try to WILD during an afternoon nap? And what about the twitching fingers, and eyes. Is this normal? Does it affect anything? I wasn't controlling it, it just happened - like a misfired signal or something.

Thanks for any help!
