Thread: Can't WILD!

Could that be the problem?

Also, I swallowed every now and then, is that okay? how can I stop it?

After I gave up I went in to normal sleeping position and just let my mind wander. I didn't move my body at all though, and eventually I felt my lower legs (knees and down) getting numb and a bit heavy, slowly crawling up. I was hoping that was SP but then I twitched and it stopped, though I'm not sure if it would have stopped had I not twitched, it was a small twitch anyway. What happened?

Can anyone help me with my WILDS?

thanks

This is exactly what I'm going through. Wish I could help.

Why don't you just do your normal sleeping position when doing WBTB?

Im no WILDer, but I myself have asked these questions...and heres what I've learnt.

1) there are LOTS of different things to do whilst WILDing. Try counting a few more times....before moving to more visual or tactile techniques. (loads of wild guides can be found around here).

2) excitement can stop you from falling into sleep.

3) Swallow if you want. Its only worrying about swallowing that makes you swallow. Allow yourself to swallow; it wont hinder anything. Just do it, and move on

4) sleeping position doesnt matter. sleep which-ever way you like; providing you could fall asleep normally in that position.

thats the end of what I've learned.

Same here.

You can WILD. Get that crazy notion that you can't out of your head!
