Thread: Reverse Blinking really works

(Used as part of technique in successful WILD.)

Note: Only one success so far, but was first attempt using this combination of techniques:

1) Keep to mantra/affirmation throughout RBing and after.

I did my blinks five seconds apart and inserted the affirmation, "I'll remember to realise I'm dreaming." in between blinks.

2) Started RBing with affirmation while on my back. Once eyes were exhausted I switched to normal sleeping position - on my side (thanks, KingYoshi!), and continued affirmation at same rate but without the blinks.

3) I didn't really think about moving or not moving. All I thought about was going to sleep while repeating the mantra.

4) Straight away on going to bed. But I pretty much knew I was guaranteed a rem-rebound on the night it worked, so tonight I'll try it with WBTB instead.

Transition

Had a kind of double transition. In the first I experienced the well-documented "sinister presence". It's like a feeling that something bad is going to happen, or that someone (or something) malevolent is in the house. In this case, I was back in my childhood bed and my brother jumped on me and grabbed my arm. I ignored him

In the second transition part, my body was spinning/falling and I went with the spinning, enjoyed the ride and, as far as I can recall, I tried to increase it a bit. I wondered when I knew it would be safe to "step from my body" but, somehow, instinctively I just "pinged" out of my body and found myself standing by my childhood bed.

Also note:

Didn't think about SP once, the onset of SP, or even experience any bodily sensations other than spinning.

Didn't think about HI once.

Experiments

I don't want to be too dependent on one technique to initiate WILDs, so longer term I'll be seeing if I can succeed without RBing.

Early signs suggest that I'm not going to be a "watch HI" kind of WILDer - I don't get many visuals.
