Thread: Time problem for sp wild?

would you say maybe my mi d is to awake even though my body is killing me because when I try to enter sleep paralysis it takes a really long time
maybe 2+ hours of staying conscious and I don't even swallow. I feel numbness alot and if by mistake I move a finger even an Inch I feel what you can call a slight tingling everywhere but then thats gone. I'm not sure, but when I tried this I had a few distractions, there was a time when I felt like I was floating but I knew I wasn't in sp because I could still hear the outside noises family,air, etc. I'm not sure, I've never gootten into full sp just alot of numbness and alot of heaviness .I feel I come close but I'm not sure.

Are you doing a wake-back-to-bed first (sleeping 5-6 hours first)?

no I'm not doing this with a wbtb I did a few minutes ago after a long tiring day. I get numb and really heavy and the occasional tingling and lightweight but thats it. I read people saying only 20 to 40 min but I think to myself after 2 h. This is ridiculous I've heard it takes long sometimes but come on.

WBTB is practically essential to WILDing. You'd be amazed at how much easier it is after sleeping 5-6 hours first.

so is it normal for it to have taken that long because I did it without a wbtb?
oh and thankyou for your replies.

Yes. The first REM periods are hours into sleep, so you'd have to wait forever to reach them. There are also a few deep sleep phases in between, that you have to stay conscious for. Also, REM periods are shorter at first, meaning even if you managed to succeed without WBTB, you'd have a short lucid dream.
