I had my first WILD a few months ago. I accidently woke up and felt exhausted, as well as seeing a lot of hypnogogia. I thought to myself "this is a good time to try out a wild". so i laid down, closed my eyes and counted to 4. Then i was in the dream.

The day before i had not done anything exhausting, such as running, working out etc. And i have tried to have a wild since then, but not succeding. I am always to awake to preform wild even if i have actively tried to tire myself out.

How do you combat this?
