Thread: Question about WILD'ing

Hello,
I guess you would call me a natural WILD'er I have been doing it since I was very little and that was always my main way to induce lucid dreams. When I was little before I knew what LDs were of course I did not have high lucids and woke my self up from the nightmares I always had. Because I am somewhat of a natural at WILD'ing I do not know much about it.

Yesterday morning I was really tired because I did not sleep well and when I went back to sleep (around 6 in the morning) I felt my self slipping into the WILD I was supper excited to be feeling this as I knew it would lead to me sleeping lol (I was supper tired). I don't know if it was because I was too excited or what, but I lost the feelings of the WILD and soon had to start the fall asleep process all over again. Before the feelings faded I became restless because I just wanted to fall asleep already so I think I may have tried to rush the process.

Now for the question lol: How long does the SP part of a WILD generally last before you slip into the dream? And was it my fault for trying to rush the WILD for the reason it failed or did I just become too excited?

Thanks for the help
Anna
