WILD problem =(

Well the last few nights I've been trying the WILD technique but I just end up falling asleep. I cant even get to the vibrations =( Is there any way to stop myself from falling asleep?

Do you try it at the beginning of the night or after you wake up in the morning?

I did it after being awake all day. Maybe I could try when I wake up =)

Yes, I heard it's more effective that way.

what helps me a lot is to picture myself going up a magical staircase and every step I take I count and say to myself:

1, I am dreaming
2, I am dreaming
3, I am dreaming
etc.

Ive gotten to the point of having such strong vibrations I actually think Im gonna get pulled apart. But ive only tried twice ;]

Cool, Ill try that.
Thanks =)

I also have problems with just falling asleep when trying to WILD; I think i'll give this method a go tonight.

Yeah, you guys should definitely try it w/ a Wake back to bed (WBTB). You should sleep for about 5 or 6 hours then get up for a while, then give it a rip. If you keep flling asleep, then try this (my WILD technique):

1. Devote at least 2 hours (or more) to WILDing.

2. Remember your goal (where you want to go, what you want to do, etc).

3. Dismiss any other thoughts and focus only on taking slow, deep breaths.

4. Remain COMPLETELY still, no matter what.

5. Try to steer clear of straying/abstract thoughts when entering SP (random/abstract thoughts means that the logical part of your brain is falling asleep, dont let it!). (they can also cause you to enter a non-Lucid Dream which would make all this work was for nothing!)

6. Dont fight or resist SP in any way / stay relaxed and calm when it begins to happen.

7. Continue to focus only on your (slow, deep) breathing as vibrations, Hypnagogic Imagery, and auditory hallucinations become more intense from SP.

(you can focus on and/or visualize your goal once you think you've got the breathing part down packed).

8. Continue step 7 until you feel that sudden rush of falling through your bed or through the ceiling (in my case); this should mean that SP is complete, and hence you are ready to dream.

9. If you are not already in a dream scene, then spin around or rub your hands together (or both) in order to conjure up one. Doing this can also stabilize a fading/blurry dream scene.

There you have it, those are pretty much all the steps I take when Im attempting a WILD. And if it doesnt work the first time, remember that it takes time so dont give up! I know it seems like a lot, but once you've been through it many times, you will become better and better at it.:)

I've heard it might help if you open your eyes for just a few seconds if you feel too out of it.
