Stuck during WILD

**polaf** · 08-03-2010 09:21 AM

Ok, so I have been trying to WILD for atleast 3 to 5 weeks now. I lay still in bed completely silent and only focusing on 1,i am dreaming counting and hypnagogic imagery. Now heres the problem, I feel my body and my legs get "gooey" and "warm numb" but as soon as it gets there, it stays there and no matter how long i wait in this stage in never transitions further on. Help?

Have you tryed a WILD after you woke up from a nights sleep because ive gotten really close that way a few times but I couldnt stay awake enough to make the dream lucid. If you just trying in the middle of the day then it will be harder especially if your new to WILDing.

I've only succesfully WILD'ed once. The other times I've tried, I get to the same stage as you.
I believe this is due to not being completely relaxed, which is why it is easier in the morning. You're more relaxed then.

Anyway, I haven't found the solution to this either way. Would appreciate some input from someone more experienced :p

I think timing might be a problem because REM cycles dont start until near the end before you wake up from your nights sleep...
Ill try WBTB but so difficult to remember ;o
