    1. June 15/13 - Failed WILD Attempt Notes/Reflection

      In the morning, when I had the opportunity to fall back asleep, I gave a couple of tries at SSILD. Interestingly, I think it did have some effect, in that I believe it helped anchor me a bit - I had some sense of the process of falling asleep both times. However, like MILD techniques (even it a bit more effective), I did lose that connection and fell asleep virtually instantly.

      This is very much worth noting, though. It may well be that anchoring is my issue and not timing - or at least to a different extent than I had thought. I will continue to experiment with SSILD for my WBTB attempts for the next week, then consider rotating through other anchoring techniques to see if I cannot get some traction.

      It is curious looking back at my two successful WILDs, that one time my partner left for a work event in the morning from my old apartment and up in northern Ontario last fall, as there was no real need for an anchor. I was able to watch the visuals materialize passively until there was a dreamscape that I could interact with. Both times, a fragment of the dreamscape appeared, then expanded into the full world. If there is something I had in common on both occasions, it was having a decent amount of sleep and no particular urgent items for the day following.
