Accidentally almost achieved a WILD

[Morca]

I was going to bed last night, trying to do a MILD, repeating affrimations about dreaming. I sort of went into a state I had experienced only once before, while undergoing sleep hypnosis. My chest was rising and stayed there, I was breathing rather shallow, felt light. I started spinning kind of, feeling slight vibrations. The whole time thinking, "OMG I'm ACCIDENTALLY DOING A WILD!! don't screw this up or you will hate yourself." So, it keeps going for awhile, I'm getting worried, because, despite my frantic affrimations, it seems to be lessening. So, it eventually goes away. I try again five minutes later, get a watered down version of that, I'm soooo frustrated. Any tips?

GET 5-6 HOURS OF SLEEP BEFORE YOU WILD. Nobody ever fallows that rule, lol, but seriously, go to bed about two hours before you usually do and you'll probably wake up in the middle of the night, do something for about half and hour and drink a can of coke, and go back to sleep, WILDs are so much easier that way.

Okay, I've tried sleeping for 4 hours at night before trying WILD for the last couple nights... but there's a problem: I can't go back to sleep once I wake up!! Last night I was only awake for less than five minutes and I couldn't get back to sleep the rest of the night. I shudder to think what would happen if I actually got out of bed and walked around. What should you do if waking up in the night means waking up for good?!

That sucks, if I wake up I can't fall back asleep immediatly.

All you can do is to practice! you will get it eventually. Schlumpeet, Scorpions! I love that band! ever listen to any Rammstein?
