      Always reaching the same dead end!!

      I've been trying to WILD for about a month now, since when I was trying different techniques earlier I entered SP while WILDing but unfortunately I didn't know that I was in SP and so I blew it.

      Anyway, now when I try again after a WBTB I always reach to the point where I begin to enter SP and my legs start to feel numb and heavy, but ALWAYS after that I drift to sleep. I tried to concentrate harder not to fall to sleep again but I always fail. What's going wrong?

      Try counting backwards. That seems to work for me.

      good to see someone asking questions lol. The typical answer for someone with your problem is

      a) possibly try staying up for a little longer when you WBTB. (some people go right back to sleep, some say wait like 45-60mins) You could adjust it little by little until you get it right

      or maybe

      b) try a different WILD technique. Some need more/less concentration etc you may find a different one works better for you.

      Hope these help you.

      I tried going to the bathroom then sleeping right away and I tried staying up for like 45 minutes then sleeping and the same thing happened. I think I'll try a new method then, but I don't have any experiences in any other methods though.

      BTW, what could be a good technique to try for someone who wakes up a lot during the night?

      Oh, and nice sig btw, James, im a Jessica Alba fan too lol!

      Thanks!

      How many hours are you sleep before the WILD too? the 'standard amount' is 5-6. Any less, and maybe you are soo tired you just fall asleep. (But some people WILD with as little as 3)

      By other methods; I mean other WILD methods. Some say concentrate on nothing, some say visual a scene, others say count, some say create 'tactile sensations'. Theres so many WILD techniques in this place. Have a look around till you find one that looks good.

      Theres atleast 5 WILDs in here alone: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=25

      Goodluck!
