Thread: My first attempt at WILD (Help Please)

Last night I attempted a WILD for the first time. I followed the "5 Phases of WILD" to the letter, going to sleep at 11 pm, waking up at 4 am, then going to the bathroom, working out a few multiplacation problems, and getting a breath of fresh air. I then relaxed, imagining that I was gliding in the sky, and I started to see lights (although they were rather faint). After a while, I felt the tingling sensation over my body, and I was thrilled (this is my first attempt at anything like this). I tried to relax, and eventually the feeling passed. I felt my eyes moving rapidly (REM), and this also passed after a while. Then I was just staring at my eye lids, like I was back in the relaxation phase. Remembering the tutorial, I thought that only my "dream eyes" were closed, so I opened them and did some reality tests. Much to my dismay, I was back in the real world.

Where did I go wrong? Did I relax for the right amount of time (30 min)? Did I get caught up in the tingling sensation? Did I try to open my eyes at the right time? I am attempting this again tonight, so any help would be appreciated a lot.
