If you're WILDing by passing through the HI stage, you may find yourself trapped and unable to progress from there. The key is to try to shake loose a dream body. Which is easier said than done. I find it hard to detach me torso and head from my real body.
I have that same problem! I can get my "dream" arms and legs up fine, but my head I just can't.
