I was trying to WILD the other morning and stay still.
My legs as I went into HI, started to jolt and move every few seconds quite a lot.
This contradicts trying to stay still, and your mind and vision moves with the jolts too.
I think this kept me in HI for an hour and not beyond, because of this.
Any tips.
How tired were you, when you tried to WILD? How many hours did you sleep before trying to WILD?
4.5 hours as normal before waking to try WILD, wbtb or VILD.Quote:

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be able to get over this little obstacle soon
i have the same problem as you but what i do somtimes is i wrap my self in my blankets tightly (not to tight) but enough so my legs dont jolt anywhere ..it may work for you !
Your body makes these twitches (along with other annoying sensations, like itching and discomfort) to see if your mind has fallen asleep before it shuts down. Just stay perfectly still and ignore all sensations, after a while they will dissipate and you`ll find yourself in SP (and in perfect position for an LD).
Yeah, I don't think that your body moving is what kicks you off the path to SP, but rather the act of sending the signal from your brain to move it...
You know, if someone else moved your leg or something while you were WILDING, woul dit break you out of it? If you didn't react at all?
Heres an important question: Were your legs jolting? Or were they actually paralyzed and it felt like they were jolting?
Remember, dreams are a collection of senses that don't exist outside of your mind. Maybe you were half-dreaming that your legs were jolting.
:shock:... wiiieeerrdd
