Hi, ive recently started to try LD. I have started a dream journal, and tried one WILD. I have also had sleep paralysis upon waking up before, usually after sleeping in, however SP has never been accompanied by hallucinations for me and is not frightening. When i tried to WILD, i got into a sort of partial SP, and felt very numb. The numbness spread for my hands and legs to my torso, but after that nothing happened for so long that i gave up. How can i continue and actually get into an LD? Also, is there any way to shorten the lying perfectly still and breathing time? Is the numbness just as good as normal SP, or does it precede SP? |

^^ What he said. I've tried to WILD without waking up in the middle of the night, and I get semi-SP kind of feeling. But since it takes a long time to enter REM from waking (it's over an hour), I usually get bored and quit. Also, the first REM period is low quality and short, even if you succeed in the WILD, you'd get a low-vivid, 10-minute lucid (at best). So just do WBTB if you're going to try WILD. |

Thx guys, I have tried the WBTB but without WILD, next time i will combine them. Also, I tried WILD for a morning nap and counted to 817 breaths, which was over an hour, Im not sure what is wrong, maybe I am not able to fall asleep because paralysis is kind've uncomfortable... |
