I do apologize for getting to this thread so late . Don't feel bad for asking this question...it's a fairly common one. I too had a great deal of misconceptions about how to induce an LD when starting out just like many more people still have. So you're far from alone on this one. To answer your question, you have to keep your eyes closed. Remember, your body is going to sleep...it's only your mind that stays awake.

Sufferers of SP find they can move nothing but they're eyes.

In which case is it really neccesary to try and keep your eyes from moving when your
attempting to WILD?

Opinions please?

Yes, it is necessary to keep them still while attempting a WILD. The only difference between those in REM, those in SP, and those who are attempting without being in either starting off is that those who are in REM and SP's bodies are already asleep...then their eyes will dart and move about. Your body must be asleep still before this process of unconscious rapid eye movement happens.

Wasat?

Sounds like auditory hallucinations via Hypnagogia. Hypnagogia is the prequel to Sleep Paralysis and Sleep Paralysis is the prequel to WILD's . Continue on full steam ahead .

Thanks Jeff777 for your methods and tips, I'm sure I'll get it soon if I follow them carefully and those damn cars'll stfu

You're more than welcome should you have any additional questions feel free to ask. Please keep us updated with your progress .

Cos if I don't have to concentrate to keep my eyes locked in place, wilding would be a lot easier I think.

Concentrating on keeping your eyes locked in place is what will keep you from WILD'ing. It should be a passive thing.
