      How long to lay for WILD?

      I know it varies, but generally, not specific, how long? I've laid for up to 60 mins but just so I know when to give up!

      Thanks!

      CRD, I'd say that normally it takes 40 minutes or so for me to WILD.

      The longest I've laid trying to WILD was about 90 minutes probably out of sheer stubborness cuz I'd already been laying there that long and I was not about to give up.

      Well according to this tutorial that I read a little while ago it said just lay still for 25 minutes without moving a muscle and you should get into SP...after your in SP WILD's come very fast. But for me it usually takes me 30-35 minutes of sitting still.

      I've only WILDed a couple times. I wasn't looking at the clock, but I estimate it took me about 40 or 45 minutes of laying completely still and keeping my mind awake and aware. I found it didn't really matter what I let my mind think about. Even if I thought about my body laying there, eventually the vibrations started anyway and then turned into a rush of energy over my whole body.
      In dreams of unspeakable joy—of restored friendships; of revived embraces; of love which said it had never died; of faces that had vanished long ago, yet said with smiling lips that they knew nothing of the grave; of pardons implored, and granted with such bursting floods of love, that I was almost glad I had sinned—thus I passed through this wondrous twilight. —George MacDonald

      I never last long enough.

      Last night was my first attempt in a while and I was laying there for about 25 minutes before I gave in.

      I could have gone longer, but I was deep breathing through my mouth because I read a tutorial that said that I should breathe through my mouth. Without thinking, minutes into it my mouth got extremely dry, and eventually it began to hurt it was so dry from breathing primarily through the mouth.

      BillyBob, why have you forsaken me with such an unearthly breathing method? And I was a devoted follower of your control tutorials!

      I tried breathing through my mouth once but it was so unnatural to me that I didn't do it for long.

      Time doesn't exist, when WILDing.

      You give up when your alarm clock goes off in the morning and its time to go to school/work/ whatever your day to day is.

      Until then, only your breathing exists.

      My problem with WILD is that I'm impatient, so I haven't tried it much. Last time I tried I gave up after 20 minutes because my foot was in a bad position.

      Speaking of which, what's the best POSITION to lay in while attempting WILD? I'm guessing laying on your back; I tried laying on my side like I usually do when falling asleep.

      Here are two previous threads which speak to the best position for WILDs :

      I've a problem with my nose so i have to breath through my mouth heh. But i'm curious. Should one ignor things like itches, dry mouth, eye that seem to want to stay open, or do something about them?

      I know it's difficult but you have to ignor them. Tonight I felt a strong pain in my arm so it was really hard to go on...

      Anyway, even when you give up, try to convince youself, that you will realize when you go through SP. I haven't succeeded a "direct" WILD yet. But both times I had success I gave up and decided to go to sleep normally but convinced myself to realize when I enter SP and it worked!! I was just too concentrated to enter SP directly but as I decided to sleep it worked fine.

      Even if it doesn't work this hope helps me to cheer me up when I'm depressed after a failed WILD...
