Ì tried WILD a couple of times earlier today. I have only had a couple of spontaneous LDs in my life so I didn't know if I was experienced enough to go WILD, but I thought "Why not?".

First time i imagined myself taking swim strokes and counting from one to 99, then starting over. I only saw swirling colors but ny hypnologic image stuff. After a while I felt heavy, and my eyelids started to shake, making it very hard to keep my eyes closed. I also got a tingling fuzzy feeling in my fingers and my arm started shaking but then it stopped.

The second time I started off the same way, I started to feel heavy, but this time it felt more like my whole body was inverted, and every limb was out of place and inside out, it was kind of scary but I managed to not get freaked out. This time though the feeling was stronger when I thought of all the things I would be able to do in my LD, but when I ran out of ideas the feeling also went away. I did not get any images in my head here either.

Was I close to managing a WILD?
Are the hypno-thing images really important to induce a LD?
