I've been trying to WILD a few times now. The first time was probably my most succesful one so far (my entire body became numb and tingling). Since then I just keep falling back asleep whenever I try. It's gotten better lately though. I've started to see some faint imagery (I think). Usually it's looking up at stars from a beach with a quiet sea, something like that. But sometimes I get these muscle twitches and it wakes me up a little bit. Anyone know what causes this?
The twitches are just part of sleep paralysis, and a good sign that you're on the right track. Just try to ignore them and keep yourself relaxed, I guess.
I have been trying that while listneing to music... Loosing my self in the music and start dreaming that I'm in my bed just listning... I found that this was easier with music I dont know to well as the stuff I know by heart makes me think of what is to come instead of listning to what is playing right now... a few times I am pretty sure I started dreaming new sounds in the tracks... I was thinking that if I manage to consentrate on the music long enough to fall a sleep I should be able to atain lucidety pretty much right away... Anyone tried this?
I'm pretty much in the same position as you. Every night i go to sleep and when i wake up accidentally, i try and go for a WILD, but cant quite get it. My body tingles and my eyes start to twitch, and just like you, i end up looking up at the sky/ceiling (because thats the position i fall asleep in). And then i wake up. :( I have been so focused on doing WILD's the past month or so, that the second i wake up from sleep thats the first thing that pops in my mind. The trick is the second you wake up from sleep, stay in that exact same position and close your eyes and you will start to feel the tingling within 10 seconds (for me atleast)
