Thread: Need help with WILD's!

Like atkins mentioned, you need a trick to get yourself more relaxed. You can't just lie there and expect to start dreaming. Ideally, you want to be just on the verge of falling asleep. More relaxed than you probably think is humanly possible.

You could try a trick called Reverse Blinking. You just close your eyes and breath normally, but slowly. On each exhale, you blink your eyes open and closed quickly. You probably won't even have time to focus your eyes on anything. They just flit open and closed like a blink, but in reverse. You can incorporate some sort of counting into this too, to help keep from getting distracted and get in a rhythm. Do this until you get into a trance-like state from the repetition and rhythm.

This should get you really close to sleep, or even drop you right into sleep. Don't get frustrated if you drift off and fall asleep too early. You have to fall asleep to WILD, so it is a step in the right direction.

I will normally alternate this reverse blinking with something more active, such as visualization. The visualization keeps me focused and aware, the reverse blinking helps bring me back to sleep. You need a balance of both to stay right on the razor's edge of sleep.
