Thread: WILD fail, need help

I hope you are realizing you are trying a difficult and advanced technique. The chances are very high it won't work at all. Even i as an experienced L'D'er have a hard time making it work. I made this work on only two occasions, and it was so much trouble i stick back to DILD techniques which are way easier.

Seriously: if you just start out, do not try WILD. It's a sure bet it doesn't work. It sounds easy, i know, but it is a pretty tough technique to master.

Completely untrue. I find it very easy to WILD, and I only started WILDing after the beginning of this year. Before that I probably had around six DILDs sporadically throughout the previous year.

I know that not everyone has much success with WILD, and I'm sorry that you are one of those people. But it doesn't mean that everybody else is going to have the same level of success you have managed to achieve.


@ OP, it's great that you're trying to WILD. It's a great technique, if you can learn how to master it. I mastered it relatively easily (apparently). Now, you can't move at all when you're WILDing. However, remember that you're always making progress toward sleep when you WILD. As long as you can manage to relax more deeply as you progress in your WILD, you're getting closer to sleep. Any movement does set you back, though, if only 'relatively'. To give you a better explanation, when you wake up in the middle of the night, you fall asleep more quickly. This is due in part to you being much more tired, and also because you're closer to a REM period. I find that I don't need to calculate my REM period to be able to WILD, but not everyone is the same.

If you're twitching, you're safe as long as they're unconscious twitches. You can't control your body's automated processes, and they'll more than likely not have much of an impact if you're not consciously doing it. After all, you go to sleep every night, right?


Good luck with your WILDing. Just keep practicing and you'll have a WILD soon enough.

don't worry so much about the twitching,
I heard is only deepens your sleep paralysis which is a good thing.

my biggest issue in WILDing is differing breathing patterns and swallowing,
swallowing is really annoying when you try to reach the rattling stage,
I find swallowing distracting, but if I don't swallow then I'll start drooling, which will further distract me.

WILD is hard! I decided to take a break from it for a few days,
good luck.

Thanks a lot everyone, this really helped me
Seems like I have to get better at relaxing, breathing and thinking less. Thinking less is really my problem, I'm one of those who can lie in bed for hours at night only thinking about stuff :p
