WILDing sounds like the most fun way to LD. Unfortunately I encounter the same problem each time I try it. My body begins to feels these sort of vibrations which is an incredible feeling. However, after about two seconds of this the vibrations spread into my eyelids and then my eyelids will not stop twitching. This occurrence has kept me from about 5 WILDs.
This is called Sleep Paralysis. Happens to usually everybody during WILD's and this is what usually keeps most people from accomplishing a WILD. Thus "dubbing" the WILD the hardest technique.
When you feel this, its normal. Go along for the ride and learn to enjoy it. It's like a roller coaster full of sheer exhilaration and unexpectedness. But when it's over, you are in a dream..already lucid.
What clearview said, I also fail here alot, the eye spasming is really annoying and stopped me from concentrating alot.
I find it alot easier to get past this stage when I wake back to bed, so try that if you aren't.
I'd love to give you an idea of how long you get stuck in it for, but I can't tell you.
Hope that's good enough, anything else just ask!
;)
Ok so if I can make it through that nonsense I should be good to go?
This feeling can be pretty distracting. The first thing to keep in mind is that you have not ruined your WILD if these vibrations startle you awake. Just keep doing what you were doing, and you will snap right back into "the zone." It can sometimes take me two or three rounds of these vibrations before I become solidly immersed in a dream.
I normally try to direct my attention away from my real body when I WILD. I try to imagine a new scenario for myself, so I forget about my body lying in bed. This helps me avoid all the unpleasant physical feelings and body distortions.
Thanks for the advice. I am lucky enough to get an afternoon nap in, so I will try it very soon and I will get back to you guys. I love this forum hahaha
