Nope, not too bad, but of course, I didn't know how to WILD before. |

Ugh. You guys ever read in LaBerge's EWLD about how in REM sleep we no longer get external sensory input and use only internal sensory (our brain)? Well before I read that I used to be able to WILD without thinking about the feelings on my body but after reading it I can't seem to get my mind off of even the most subtle feelings. Like when I'm attempting WILD, I keep thinking about the feeling of air passing through my neck or voluntarily breathing when I should really let my mind do it on its own. It's really hard to keep my mind off them and if I do, I suddenly remember them again and on goes the cycle, soon I get frustrated and give up or fall asleep. |

yeah I used to do that, I would always think about doing the WILD right and not let my mind go, then I found that theres only 2 very simple rules to follow and got over it |

oilfieldpilot,

Thats a problem I have. I always focus on my breathing. I am not sure how you ever did a WILD without thinking about a single thing though. Seems to me you would fall asleep very fast. |

Maybe all lucid dreamers have on thing in common: We like Smallville.. |

Heh, yeah I get what you mean but dying isn't what I'm worried about. It just the sensation of breathing that gets in the way of WILD'ing. Thanks for your input though. |

I was trying to WILD today in an afternoon nap and I had the same problem. I was bothered by my breathing and had that same feeling like I have to control my breathing, cuz I dont do it, nobody will. It's very distracting. Anyway, I suddenly thought: "Crap, it seems like I'll never fall asleep". So I stopped the counting and the "I'm dreaming" and suddenly I woke up from a dream and realized that I had fell asleep without counting |

Yes, I love you all! ^^
heh, i guess the whole reason i've been so good with WILD lately is that i'm a bum.. I just don't care about so many things, so anything i do feel, I just have the idle thought "screw it", and oddly enough, it doesn't bother me. |
