Thread: WILD- must lay on your back?

I lay on my back until I start to snore. The snoring indicates that "my body" in a semi conscious state, but it is also distracting. Once I start to snore, I turn on my side. I think that laying on my side is my natural position for WILDing.

Another thing that goes along with laying on my back and snoring, is that I get “restless leg syndrome”, at about the same time. Laying on my side fixes it. However, they are both good indicators of my state of consciuosness.

I’ve read that Buddha dreamed/slept laying on his side.
"Lie on one side with your legs together and knees slightly bent. Let your bent arm take the weight of your torso by resting your head on your open hand. This is the posture of the sleeping Buddha, as he has been traditionally depicted at the moment of passing into nirvana (death)."

Don't let the drug companies see that

That's cool stuff about Buddha.

Like I'm sure many people above have said, you can WILD in any comfortable position. I WILD in the strangest ways sometimes.

I heard you have to be on your back because any other position will cut off key stimuli to your brain.

I remember hearing on a podcast that sleeping on your back makes you five times more likely to feel sleep paralysis, and this would help WILDing. I don't know the dude's source of this, but as it comes from a skeptical podcast, I'd say he did his research, and that it can't be too far from the truth.
