Thread: How close am i?

Hey everyone, ive been trying to have a lucid dream by using the WILD method. Im just wondering about how close i am.

I lay on my bed for about 15 mins counting 1-im dreaming 2-im dreaming and so forth and try to notice any flashes or changes in my field of vision. After this 15 mins, i will suddenly be overcome by this feeling of falling into my bed and getting very heavy. This feeling is very sudden and my breathing shortens. If i try and ignore it, i will notice i can see alot more flashes/ objects than normal. The only problem is that i get excited and the feeling leaves.

Is this near sleep paralysis?

Sounds like you are on your way to falling asleep. Try to not get too excited. Just stay passive and let yourself fall asleep while you watch. Keep at it, and you should get a little more comfortable with that wacky feeling.

This is the main problem that I have with wilding, I get all the way up to SP and then I get excited because of the sensations and the fact that I'm almost in an LD. I have gotten past this however and Butler is right in that you should be more passive in your wild. I take on a scientist like mindset. Curious and questioning but not overly involved. Keep on doing it is my advice. The more you get there the less special it'll seem.
