Have tried WILD about 10 times in the last two days, the very first time I tried it yielded a textbook WILD LD, every time since then it has failed- miserably.

It's really frustrating as I don't know what my problem is. I tried doing it this morning after waking from 5 hours of sleep- laid there for an hour and 15 minutes... thats about 100 times longer than is necessary to just fall asleep. Same thing happened last night, tried it before I went to bed- laid awake till 3am, roughly 3 (!) hours of trying.

I cannot find any difference with my WILD attempts now as compared with my first, and even worse I'm finding it harder to go to sleep. I'm not excited, or demotivated, or anything that would seemingly cause this... so i'm not sure what to do. I was very very happy with it on my first attempt, naturally as it yielded a LD, yet now it seems impossibly difficult- hynagogic images fail to become anything more than dark blobs.

Any ideas?

Update

Barrier No.2: Talking to yourself(Inner dialog).
Again this falls under the category of concentrating; the mind needs to be almost blank to enter the deep stages. To achieve this, use techniques like concentrating on your breathing or an object in your head. You'll find that concentrating on one thing for a period of time is actually much harder than it sounds. Having said you should concentrate, try not to over-concentrate(ie. Putting all your efforts and mindpower into the task) as this can prohibit you from falling asleep. From all the resources on WILDs I have read on the internet, not one has ever specifically mentioned this, resulting in me staying awake for up to 60-80 minutes before without any end product(Well done me). Do try concentrate but also try to relax on the effort if that makes sense. [/b]
After reading this I think I might have a better chance, all of the above makes sense, so I'll post an update below.
