Thread: Attempting WILDs

I believe that if you're going to always hear the furnace, you should use that noise as a white noise to help with keeping awareness. If you say that you're good at remembering most of the sounds, it would be useful to use that to your advantage when you realize you don't hear the furnace anymore (but don't focus too much on it, just passively acknowledge it).

You can even use the mentality that it sounds like an instrument playing as a possible anchor to keep awareness while falling asleep!

Just a suggestion. And yes WILD can be a pain sometimes , but once you find the right anchor, it'll get easier (I'm focusing on practicing an anchor for a month to see if it'll work for WILDS myself). Good luck, and hope this helps

And you can read up on these guides for more depth on WILDS, WILD is something you have to see what others think about it, and formulate your own reasoning to get results (since everyone is different in how they can keep aware)

And it'll take a few tries to get used to not getting excited from the experience as well.

I tried to use the furnace as an anchor but it turns on for 30 minutes then off for the 30 minutes so I didnt work out for me. I have tried white noise, music, etc but I ended up having to use earplugs since it seems when I was trying to WILD, any noise would keep me awake, now if there was only way to mute the sound of my breathing. I tried using the rumble feature of xbox controller up against my leg as an anchor with no luck.

I have not been able to get to SP yet, I think I have been very close though. My body has gotten completely numb and my face as well but with feeling still in the back of head. When I have been at this point I can feel myself slipping away, and my body starts vibrating and feeling like its not there, I try to focus on whatever light I may see under my eyelids, I see a few things but nothing interesting. At this point I cant go any further, I never hear any noises or see anything that looks like anything interesting. I'm just stuck. If I let my mind wander, Ill start to have what I think of as mini dreams where random events happen but when I fall asleep doing it this way I have know awareness what so over.

I finally got my self to fall asleep on my back, my dreams were 20x more realistic in terms of visual, audio etc, and what was actually happening. But I still just went with the flow of the dreams. I do reality checks all the time throughout the day but I have never been able to any reality checks in my dreams, most of the time it feels like I am not there to do anything. So if I try to maintain my awareness while I fall asleep , I wont fall Asleep and if I let go I will fall asleep but wont be lucid.

So I dont what to do. Any other ideas as I cant think of any.
