Help with first WILD

[Rachel444]

Tonight I am going to try a WILD its going to be my first and I just wanted maybe tips if you have any

LIE COMPLETELY STILL. if it feels all tingly on your body below ur neck, then ur doing it right. it's a lot of patience and u might not even be successful, but don't give up- there's always tomorrow night

Resist the urge to scratch an itch, or change sleeping positions. These are the body's signals to test if the brain is awake or asleep. If you lay completely still, like Chaos says, your body will assume your mind has fallen asleep, and will soon follow. I've also heard the urge to swallow hinders a successful WILD.

You're going to need lots of patience and resist the urge to give up (this is where I falter ).

The main key is to RELAX. If you need to move to scratch your nose or something, its OK. Just make sure you relax after and just try to go to sleep, but stay aware.

Don't focus on 'sleep paralysis'... just get comfortable, possibly use an anchor, and good luck. Personally, I find the easiest WILD to be a DEILD- try that if you can.

First off make sure you are in a relaxing environment, make sure your room is a place you can feel completely comfortable in. Lay down with as much noise reduction as possible, i.e. music, TV and all that shut off. Relax, flex your body, stretch it and relax your muscles. there are many ways you can lay while having trying to WILD, but it has been found that laying on your back with your arms by your side palm down is the best for most every one. Now focus on your breathing, or picture something (when I try to visualize something I focus on a simple wooden bowl with calm water in it) Try to keep your thoughts from wondering off. It will be impossible to do this at first, but just keep trying. After awhile you will find it way easier to just focus on your breathing or on a image. In fact you will be so completely free of thoughts you might find it scary. At this point in time you just wait for SP to come and for your dream to form and you have done it. Most people who try to do this from when they first go to sleep say its rather hard. Plus you most likely will forget that lucid dream or it will become foggy and hazy. Best way is to sleep for about 6 hours, wake up before your last dream cycle, and attempt a WILD. Not only is it easier, but you will remember it more vividly. Also last tip, never give up. Just keep trying until you either have a LD or you wake up in the morning. If you give up it will be that much harder next time around.

I've been trying to have a WILD as well, but as soon as the wave starts to go over my body I get this irresistable urge to swallow, and even if I fight it as hard as I can I end up swallowing and the wave goes away. I've tried a couple of times, but it always ends the same way.

[Rachel444]

I know I have said this a million times but thank you so so so much everyone I still have not had a WILD but i'm still trying!

[Jackalhead]

Hey Rachel. I found a free online book on this you may want to read. It's called DO_OBE by Donald Degracia. It's how to astral project, but he makes it very clear WILD and AP are the same thing, so that's what he teaches you how to do. I am about half way through the book right now and it has a lot of very helpful information. So yeah, best of luck.

How does it actually feel when you succes? I'm confused, does a dream create iteself infront of you? Someone said something about rising, and standing up. This seems freaky, I really don't want to "Begin" the dream in my own bed. Edit: Is there any way to increase the chances of noticing I'm dreaming even if I fail at wilding?
