Thread: The Real (Easy) Way To WILD

Cool, I'll print this out tonight and try it. Thanks, I'll get back to you! -BeeT

Total LDs since 3/15/08 :!!1!! (DILD)

Okay, thanks for the replies. Just remember that with all techniques, you gotta stick with it for a while. Don't base your view of a technique on one try.

My biggest problem is getting further into SP. I can get really relaxed, almost to the point of falling asleep, sometimes into SP, but can't remain in it. I have a hard time finding that balance of Awake:Sleep ratio, and usually end up further on the awake side than sleep. I'll give it a go through next friday, see if It works any better.

I'll attempt this tonight.

Cool, I'll try this tonight.
I think it's common that all the things are the same as falling asleep normally, which is why it could be hard for some people to stay conscious while their thoughts stray further.

This sounds really logical. My first and only sp so far was after I gave up a wild and simply tried to fall alseep...

Interesting, very interesting!

I like the idea, good point about relaxing. I will be trying this technique tonight.

Wow, that's really straight forward and it sounds like it'd work, I'll try it tonight!

Sounds good i think I'll try it if i can manage to wake up after 5 hours of sleep

BillyBob, some other people, and I were discussing WILD's, and how to do them. BillyBob said, "The objective is not to stay awake, but to fall asleep." At first I found this confusing, but then I knew it was very obvious. I know there are others that share the same point of view, so it wasn't just BillyBob.

This technique is no different than falling asleep. Well, there's a small difference. You have to keep a part of your mind conscious. The easiest way to do this is to control your train of thought and imagination. Not enough to keep you awake, but not too little to fall asleep unconsciously.

I've been trying to explain this for ages! I liked how you explained that you are just trying to fall asleep, not stay awake. Thats what makes WILDing so difficult for some people. They make themselves as uncomfortable as possible (not swallowing, not itching, not moving, trying to focus on just one thought), and then they get mad when they dont get SP or complete the WILD. All you need to do is do what you normally do when going to sleep, but stay conscious.

Anyway, I liked how you explained that. I dont know so much about the steps, as I believe everyone WILDs a bit different, but all together a great guide! good job.

Good point, I just assumed everyone would take it and tailor it for themselves. I'll edit the post.

so you you can move and still WILD? as soon as i hit SP my feet start twitching and it pisses me off!

I'll try this as soon as I'm on summer break. But it seems I would just drift to sleep and not ever get to this light feeling point.
