Thread: What am I doing wrong?

Do not make it complicated. The goal is to fall asleep. You already know how to do that.

What? Fall asleep? Yes, if you want to dream you likely need to be asleep first.

Just that? No, the other part is to stay aware as it is happening. There are tricks to help, such as repeating a phrase over and over inside or feeling yourself breath. Keep your thoughts simple and never think about your worries.

Read all of Sageous' material on WILD I the DVA subforum and then try again with a better grasp of what you should be doing.

edit: I just read some guides on these forums, I think I can see what I was doing wrong. I just need an 'anchor' as I drift into sleep. I just have one last question...which is about sleep cycles.

Lets say I had 6-9 hours of sleep last night, can I try to WILD now? During the day, so a random nap? Would it be REM sleep or what...
