Hello, and welcome! Well, it could be both. I am not an experienced WILDer at all, as DILD is my thing, and am not very knowledgeable about WILD, but as with many techniques it is bound to fail if you are too tired and haven't been getting enough sleep. I think it will help you technique-wise to concentrate a little harder on what is happening to you, as I believe taht when you concentarte to lightly on what you're doing in WILD, you will just drift off and wake up normally. That being said, don't concentrate on your sensations too hard, or you'll never fall asleep.

EDIT: Just a thought. WILDing takes a lot of practice, so I think it would be beneficial to you to try other techniques like self-hypnosis (HILD in the tutorials section, you could even use it to get yourself to WILD better), or DILD (I have a good super-RC tutorial, see my siggy). This way you have a chance to LD in other ways too, and aren't relying just on WILD, which can be challenging.

WILD is extremely tricky and requires a ton of will power. The problem is you're falling asleep. Are you keeping your mind active during your 30 minutes of wake time? Maybe you should try staying up for an hour and reading a book. I've heard some people say they drink caffeine or take B6 to help keep them awake, but some people find it distracts them from the WILD. Those are just some things to check out.

yep ya fell asleep im betting, i got the reverse of your problem. i HAVE the will, i just don't go all the way. i have even calculated the counting and everything, 1,087 will take awhile, 90 minutes to be exact. well it will for me, i will try tonight and see if i can make it all the way.

lol what sux is that I can remember like 3 dreams after I fell asleep - those could have been my WILD Everyone is saying that its better to WILD after youv been sleeping awhile, but I find I dont fall asleep as easily when im going to bed is it impossable to WILD without sleeping??

im gonna try one of the other tecniques (sp?) tonight

sleep well all

No its not impossible, in fact I did it last night. I took a nap earlier that day though, so that might have had an effect on it. I was also very tired but had lots of thoughts on my mind (personal things that I won't get into). So I guess that it is possible to do it, but its unlikely.

It's not impossible, but it is very difficult, as to WILD without sleeping first, you have to go through NREM (non-REM) before reaching the REM, meaning you are lying concious in SP for a couple hours. Some poeple can do it, but it is mostly only experienced WILDers, or there is a special circumstance (like that nap earlier).

Sorry I can't give you any WILD advice - it's not my thing.

But I wanted to say welcome to the forum anyway, Stonehenge! See you around.

lol thanks


nice catz!
