can't WILD

[MattReynolds]

i just cant WILD. ive been trying for about 8 months now and just cant. I either fall asleep or get past HI and into almost SP and then just lose it and wake up. No images ever, just HI. HELP ME PLEASE! lol

That's strange, I just tried it for the first time last night and I admit it's tough, but I don't think it will take 8 months, are you sure you're doing it correctly?

On a similar thread (can't find it) I remember Seeker saying once you get to HI make sure you don't concentrate TOO much on it, or else you will wake up, but you can't just let it fade, or else you will just fall asleep. It's a very delicate balance.

Right, in the tutorial it says to watch the imagery like you would a movie. Looking at it, but not becoming totally enthralled in it.

If you feel that this method might be too crazy for you, or too hard for you to achieve, why not try a new one? I know it is not the easiest method to get down.

I know it is not the easiest method to get down. i know its not easy, but i would like to get to the next step, WILD has like a 95% chance of becomeing lucid or something like that.

Ok the first time I got WILD to work, I woke up a couple hours before normal, couldn't get back to sleep for about an hour, then layed down with the intent of going to sleep concsciously... I was laying there, not really thinking about anything...paying attention to my breath and the way my body felt sinking into the bed...next my body started going kinda numb...I was just kinda watching myself go to sleep, like my mind and body were separated almost... Then sleep paralysis...kinda scary cause I stopped feeling my breathing and made myself wake up...then went into SP again with deep breathing... Then I felt like I was spinning around, head over heals, really fast...then I slowed down and was in the position I went to sleep in...but I wasn't in my real body, I was in my dream body! I don't know how I knew it but I knew it. I told myself all I have to do now is open my dream eyes, and I'll be in a dream...so I open my eyes and everything looks weird at first, but then came into focus as I got used to my dream eyes...

In my opinion you're just trying to hard. I think there's something that people dont understand when it comes to a WILD. You shouldnt have to think "dont let go or you'll fall asleep" or "there's the HI, i musn't concentrate on it". If a person wants to fall to sleep, they'll get comfy and just try to fall asleep. With this method you just have to realise the fact that you're trying to WILD, dont stress yourself out by trying to stay completely awake with your eyelids closed. Thats just stupid, instead take in the fact that you're trying to WILD, and that during the process you'll experience HI and maybe SP or Vice Versa, or none at all and end up in a dream. Remind yourself what a WILD is, and that you're going to perform it tonight. Then relax, and steadily try to fall asleep but with the intention of WILD'ing in your mind. Anyways, hope that helps. -
