Having problems with WILDS. Am I doing something wrong?

[maytodecember]

I've been experimenting with WILD, but I've had little sucess. I do the coundting thin (one, I'm dreaming, two, I'm dreaming, three, I'm dreaming...) But no matter what, I always fall asleep. I'm I doing something wrong, or will it come with time? Thanks for the help.

I don't like the counting technique, I feel it gets kind of automatic after a while Here is the uber tip: Instead of staying focused, stay aware. Stay as if something was about to pop up from the ground and eat you. Pay attention to what happens around you and inside you. Tell yourself that you won't fall asleep if you don't WILD, even if that means no sleep at all. Finally, try to keep around 70% of the waking consciousness (thank Brandon Heat for this one) This will get you oging, I promise ;D

[tekkendreams]

no way i almost did though i felt my body was sinking for a few seconds, if u can realise ur dreaming then you dont need wbtb

It might help if you take a few swallows of a caffeinated drink/soda.. don't drink too much.. just drink enough to help "wake you up" a little bit. .

It sometimes does take time to find your own WILD "rhythm". i agree completely. It took me quite awhile of messing with wbtb times before i found a good one. Dont worry dude. It takes awhile, but you will get it

Thanks for all the tips! I think I will try something other than the counting method.

I don't love the counting method either. It becomes automatic and I fall asleep. Daydreaming with the occasional "back to reality" moment helps keep a good balance and, double whammy, it can help you create your dreamscene.

i hate wbtb because i get too tired and just end up falling asleep. But at the same time if i get up from my bed i end up staying up zobey what part of florida are you from im from tampa
