      Yeah I don't really find supplements too appealing, I've never used them and don't plan on it.

      I'll try laying on my side vs on my back (I'm actually always on my back when I try)

      Actually I forgot that some people find fourth option comfortable - lying on stomack. I've never used it for WILD. When for ND I put my pillow under my left arm to supress the pressure on my heart.
      I assume you are familiar with WBTB.
      When laying on side you are more likely to sink into a dream but there is much greater chance of loosing consciousness. Thus it should suit you.
      Good L(D)uck!

      Definitely not comfortable on my stomach (at all) but I'll try sleeping on my side while WILDing from now on. Thanks.

      Really? that's the most common position I sleep in (on my stomach). Anyway, out of my two WILDs, both were on my back, but I hope you find luck trying it on your side. In fact, I'll try this too. After those first two WILDs, I've just been getting stuck in the same state you get stuck in.

      As the matter of fact all newborn babies in hospitals lay on their stomack as this is the most natural and safe for them
      As to being got stuck - it is a good reason to try different approach. Trying the same for in hope of the success did not work for me.
      Last night I had two short LD's laying on side...

      I tried laying on my side twice now (without sleeping first) and both times I got to the state where I saw actual visuals (when the object looks like its really there). Sleeping on my side is uncomfortable some times (sometimes leg cramps during sp) but it seems I can more easily slip into a dream-like state. Thanks for your suggestion it worked.

      Nice to hear that it helped you.
      I found also a position - kind of transition between back and side. Let say this a left one ( you are directed left ) : laying on back you have right leg straight while left bent, head directed left/up. To unable it you push your bed cover under your right side all the way up - down.
      I found it having some advantages of back and side ones. It's easier to sink into a dream while being more focused. On the other hand I never tried for WILDing and only recently it came back to my attention.
      Try WILDing after 4-5 hours of sleep. It's much easier. Bear in mind staying awaken time factor. If you go back to sleep instantly and loose your consciusness too easily then try to stay awaken longer 15-30min.
