Thread: Help with WILD please

Woot, I knew it would make sense to someone! "My" way might not work for you, never give up on anything to soon.. And no matter what you do always take an open mind to it. Do no expect results; especially not specifics because that can prevent you from learning new things due to the fact that you overlook them waiting for others.

Unfortunately there is nothing I can say that will make you realize the stage; and be able to control it. Practice, practice! As far as I know what happens generally is you get very indulged in some random thought, then you lose consciousness. Try to not get over involved with any random thoughts and dont let your mind wander to far. Drawing the line is a personal thing.

Ideally just on a night to night basis try to stay conscious a bit longer as you fall asleep.. dont try to stay awake but just focus on something very consistent when you feel like your slipping away (A vivid mental image, breathing/counting, maybe imagining a dream scenario etc).. Try to avoid physical sensations like what your hands feel like right then.. but feel free to imagine something textile like perhaps rubbing your hand on concrete or something.. the list could go on and this is where experience comes in. I generally just let my body do its thing for a few minutes and when I start feeling dips/blinks in awareness I know im almost ready. Perhaps the only reason I experience these is because in just naturally aware of what my intentions are at this point; and I am checking behind the scenes. In other words I lose myself in these thoughts but I subconsciously do a form of a reality check, which brings me out of it temporarily ready to fall right back in. Maybe Im that awesome; I couldnt tell you.

The amount of concentration or stimuli needed really varies; personally all I need to do nowadays is focus on relaxing my breathing and I generally preform some sort of motion/tactile sensation (Rolling out of bed or maybe running down my hallway) and then Im out. At this stage the hypnagogia is coming on strong so it usually happens on the fly to be honest.. more often then not I feel the sensation of falling and I end up falling through the blackness into the dream. I just know where to draw the line for myself; sorry I cant be much more help. Its all happened through just trying new things.
