I have the same problem. Only if I try too hard, I can't get back to sleep easily. |

I've been practicing WILD techniques for about a week and a half now and have managed to induce SP on each recent attempt. I don't usually get any HI when my eyes are closed so I count my breaths. |

All of the sudden I felt like I fell through my bed, it was scary but I was SO AMAZED!! That when i reallized what I did, I woke up all the way. Ill try again tonight!!! |

Well it's 3:30am, a little earlier than my alarm was set for. Not entirely sure why I got up at this time. Can't remember whatever dream I may have had unfortunately, but I'm just about to attempt WILD again with a few pointers from around the forum. |

Good Luck! I wish I could just have ONE LD!! Just to know that I can do it. |

Total LD's: 1! OMG YES!!
Well I'm awake again... I was very close and even started to see some flashing imagery. Nothing specific, just colours. I felt my body was numb enough for me to do a reality check but I actually did move my real arm. Then the paralysis faded. I rolled over but was awake. Gonna try again just now. Maybe I left it too long... or not long enough? It always seems to take exactly 40 minutes to get to this stage. |

I'm beginning to think the realisation of being almost fully paralysed is causing me to wake up. I remain calm but still don't fully go under. |

Yeah I know that feeling. Just keep trying. I am going to as well in a few. WE CAN DO THIS!! |

Fell asleep on the second attempt last night. I'm beginning to think that my awakening is cause by my assumption that I've reached my goal when I enter SP, when clearly that's just the beginning. |

I have a similar problem, though I only had it once, afterwards I kinda took a break from WILDing because it wasn't a fun experience. I don't know what happened, but after like an hour of sitting in SP, with no HI or anything, I kind of gave up and just got more comfortable and attempted to fall asleep. It was the worst night of sleep I've ever had. It wasn't even sleep, I was rolling over constantly and flipping and tossing for like, 2-3 hours at least. I've never had trouble falling asleep, usually I do in under 20 minutes, and I'm always fine just laying on my back. I think I'll try WILDing again soon though... |

That happens to me occasionally. I enter SP and nothing happens, then I eventually wake up but it takes me an hour to get back to sleep. |

Last week Friday, I attempted a WILD. I was lying in bed with my sleepmask and earplugs on, waiting for SP to come, not moving a muscle. SP arrived in about 30min, and yet like you all, I saw nothing. I never have visual HI, EVER, so after about 5 more minutes I concluded that I wasn't going to be dreaming this WILD. Funny thing, though; I forgot that I was wearing a sleepmask! So, I opened my eyes expecting to see my room. Much to my surprise, I was sitting at my computer desk! It was VERY dark, but details were discernable easily. I knew I was dreaming at that point; opening my "eyes" seemed to create the dream imagery! |

I'm Dreaming
I've only recently started using a sleepmask but before I wore one, I didn't dare open my eyes for fear of waking up |

how many hours do you guys sleep for before wbtb? im having the same problem. |
|
I just now started back up with LD'ing and i go to sleep for about 3-4 hours during a WBTB session. |
|
I have had the same problem too, I have never had HI, but I always feel strong vibrations. anyhoo during SP ive noticed that its best not to do anything for a while when it starts. I once moved my arm and thought it was my physical arm but upon awakening my arm was in the same position as it was when i fell asleep. so try making little movements like wigling your finger or moving your lips. |
