@ber5897:

If you haven't already, you should take a look at this thread about Anchors and WILD.

I link directly to the post written by sivason, which I specially liked because it let me know something I didn't, even after reading many WILD tutorials and guides (maybe I missed the information, misunderstood it, or simply, wasn't there):

Quoting:
"... then you wait through the stages of sleep until you get to a point where you can dream ..."

I though that in WILD you just stayed there and transitioned from awake to asleep, and as I understand it's not like that. Maybe you even have to wait 30 minutes, and not because you're trying to relax, but just because first you have to skip previous stages until you reach REM again.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as I understand, this is why it's important to do this method after some hours of sleep, or right before a REM.

On the few times I tried WILD, I always give up after many minutes there with no result.., or just fall asleep. Maybe something similar is happening to you, so I hope this helps.
