Thread: Feeling bad when attempting wild

I'm asking on my girlfiends behalf, she wants to learn wild, so we try some night's, but when she get's the feeling that it's starting, then she feels like throwing up, and she has to stop, but feels dizzy for a while after she's changes sleeping position.
what can this be?
She only get's this when she attempts to wild.
and no, she does not have any decieses or something like that..

if you have experienced the same, then please reply.

I sometimes experience dizziness when trying to WILD, or when i'm trying to initiate sleep paralysis, this was quite scary at first, but i simply told myself that this was a normal part of the proceedings and that it was going to pass, which it did..
I've never suffered nausea, although i've had the experience where i've just got comfortable, feeling like i could go into the dreamscape, and all of a sudden, i have this unbearable desire to scratch an itch! lol, i know that sounds crazy, but that's what happens!
I think the best advice i can offer you is to tell your girlfriend that the dizziness could well be a part of the WILD process, and maybe she should try to meditate past that, by telling herself that it will pass, whilst also concentrating on the WILD...you sort of have to tell yourself that with a level of detachment, or you get so involved in telling yourself not to mind the dizziness, you forget that you are meant to be WILDing, in order to have a lucid dreaming...
When does she try to WILD? After a few hours sleep, or at any given point in a day? I think it's harder to do when you've had no sleep, and aren't already in a 'sleepy mood' if you like, it's as though your brain slams the brakes on and says 'hang on, it's the middle of the day, you shouldn't be resting!'
So that could be it...
Although i did a WILD during an afternoon nap, but still remained partly conscious, in spite of having a lucid dream...
