RLS and WILDing

[joshbotch]

i have RLS, so some nights it is pretty hard for me to lay totally still while trying to fall asleep, is there a good method of WILDing that gives some wiggle room on the whole no movement thing or would i just be better off trying a different technique?

I myself have no idea on RLS, if it's a psychological or psychiatric condition. And I think it's not very well understood by physicians either. Still, I'd say the key point of it all is to stay relaxed. If you're capable of falling asleep with RLS, then surely you can WILD. It might be harder or something, but I believe it is possible. Remember WILD is not about fighting your body not to move, but much rather to completely forget about your body. If WILD doesn't work, VILD might work a little better for providing a greater-degree disclosure from your physical body. Finally, if you're still into a WILD tech but the previous won't work, you should try DEILD (dream exit induced~), which is in basis a way of chaining (lucid) dreams. On an final note, do you take medicine for it? 'Cause medicine can for sure, tamper with one's ability to perform a technique.

i have never been diagnosed or taken meds but i have had it since i can remember and it bites. I too have had RLS since I can remember. It has been 13+ years, and although I have not been diagnosed I am almost sure I have it. I am actually going to see a neurologist September 12th so I will keep the thread updated with the information I find.
