Neeeeeaaarrrlllly WILDed

Today at around 12 during the day I went for a nap and tried to WILD.

I lay on my back (which isn't how I usually sleep) and I obtained sleep paralysis. I didn't get much further than that...no hallucinations or seeing colours. At one point I felt like a slow wave push from my feet up which made me feel even number. I think the closest moment was when I felt like I was rocking/spinning, like when you come off a bad boat ride (except more powerful and faster rocking), but that eventually stopped. I tried changing positions (on my side like I normally sleep) but it all seemed to go downhill, and after about 90mins I gave up.

Any tips/suggestions? Thanks. When should I try again?

If you were easily able to roll over onto your side you weren't in SP. In sleep paralysis you won't be able to move when you first try. Also next time find a position that's comfortable.

And keep trying! WILD takes time to learn as you can tell in my signature.

As Zebrah said, WILD does take a fair amount of time to master. When sleep paralysis is fully set in you will not be able to move at all - it's possible that you switched positions before it fully set it. When you feel the wave come over you, let it flow through your entire body, from your feet up to your head - when it stops, your in SP and moving, like I said, should in theory be impossible. From their you can enter a LD if you wait a little more (10-30 mins). Good luck and feel free to message me if you have an questions. :)

Ok, thanks guys. Do you need to be tired to WILD? Otherwise your subconscious might not want to go to sleep and the mind won't even put yr body into paralysis.

Being tired is a huge plus when WILDing, that's why it's usually coupled with the WBTB technique. It just speeds up the process and allows your body to fall asleep quicker, and your chances of going directly into the REM cycle are improved.

Try to visualize yourself walking (in a park fro example) and then try to imagine the feeling and sound of your feet hitting the ground. Aside from that, try not to think too much about anything specific and let your mind wander once it starts to. That's what I do when i try to WILD and it usually works. It's also best to get some sleep before you attempt a WILD so the best time to try one is when you wake up in the middle of the night to go the bthroom, get a glass of water, etc.
