The difference between a successful and an unsuccessful WILD lies in the journey from your waking state of mind to an empty state of mind. One where you can rebuild your mental situation from scratch, without all the nagging assumptions and concerns of waking life. My question is for all who have tried this journey, whether you failed or succeeded. What does the experience from point A to point B actually feel like?

We all use different forms of language, but feeling is our common ground. My theory is that if everyone tries to describe what the journey feels like, it will be easier to compare and relate the stories to each other.

Where does it feel like you are going in your mind (up, right, down, left, fast, slow, etc.)? What does it feel like (happy, sad, indifference, pain, pleasure, drifting, pressure, jolts, etc.)? Where do you feel these things in your body (eyes, left-brain, right-brain, cortex, neck, stomach, heart, etc.)? Focus on the transitions from one feeling to another, the type of each feeling, and the duration of each feeling.

Please try to concentrate on the journey alone, not on the preparation or the dream itself. Please try to concentrate on the feelings, not on logical interpretations or rational methods. In this way, we can see what the successes have in common and what the failures have in common in terms of natural feelings, of the raw experience itself. We will see what failure feels like to avoid those feelings and what success feels like to seek those feelings. We will be able to empty our minds of all the information we have read about in clumsy inaccurate words and simply target the best feelings in the best order.
