Thread: Comfortable WILD Positions?

Lay however you fell comfortable when trying to WILD. Personally i find it most comfotable to lie on my back, but when I was younger i used to sleep on my stomach. Basicaly just get as comfotable as you can in a way that won't bother you if you are going to WILD because it takes some time.

I think most people tend to lay on their back, as it's the easiest way to induce SP. I lie on my back with my arms at my sides, but then again I've never successfully WILDed.

I always sleep with my fan on, so whenever I try to WILD on my back, gravity pulls my mouth open and the fan dries it out. Plus, on my back, I'm much more aware of my stomach moving up and down and its hard to relax and breath normally. But when I try on my side, my ear gets cold for some reason, my arms feel too constricted, and I start to feel like I'm drooling, even though I don't drool that much sleeping regularly... Turning the fan off isn't an option, because without it, my bed gets too hot.

P.S. will swallowing when you try to WILD cause you to lose progress?

I've heard that the right side is the best for WILDs

It's different for everyone. Sometimes I lay on my back, sometimes on my side. Granted, if you lay on your side, it may take longer to get into sleep paralysis, or you may not get it at all. Also keep in mind that you do not NEED to induce SP to have a WILD. To the contrary, I almost never get SP, and I still WILD. I am always able to move whenever I want, with no resistance. I don't know why, but it's true.

It's different for everyone. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. Just get in a position that IS comfortable and WILL be comfortable for the next hour and a half or so.

If you never get sleep paralysis how can you move in your dream without falling out of your bed? You probably are going into sleep paralysis, just without having any sensations.

Yes, it will lose progress. (I'm pretty sure.)

No, when I WILD, I don't have sleep paralysis. I can choose to move at any time, and often I do when I want to exit a dream quickly. When I'm dreaming I am aware usually only of my dream body, but when I want to be aware of my physical body, I am aware of it. Sleep paralysis does not kick in until I'm already in the dream, if it kicks in at all.
