Did you only try WILD? |
|
Im literally about to stop trying to LD altogether lol because of sleep paralysis. I've read every guide, I've read nonstop about sleep paralysis on Google, and I've tried every technique for WILD. I lay down in a comfortable position, relax, control my breathing, barely swallow my saliva, all of this for 40 minutes twice a day, once during REM and once at a nap. Nothing works. I've never felt the vibrations, never heard the noises of tearing metal, screams, or any other noise not once. I've tried to use binaural beats even, but even that won't work. I'm getting a little frustrated, but more then that I'm curious as to WHAT AM I DOING WRONG. I use the alphabet method, the "1 I'm dreaming 2 I'm dreaming". I've concentrated on my breathing for an hour and try to let my mind relax. Idk... Lucid dreaming is probably not right for me. I just wish I knew how to fix it lol. |

Try a different method. There's not only WILD to try. |

Get a dream journal and try DILD |
|
Ive been tryin to WILD for a week and a half. I know there's more methods and all, but I'm concerned because it seems that WILD is a more reliable method if you get good at it, like possibly a LD every night. Can MILD/DILD's be just as succesful? If they are I'll be more than happy to switch. |

First of all, a week and a half is nowhere near enough time for you to be "going insane" due to lack of success. That would be like someone who is training to become an artist getting discouraged at not being able to produce an above-average piece, after a week of learning, and giving up. |

Don't give up. I've been trying for a month and I only had a single WILD (with the help of a friend called Sleep Deprivation). |

1. It's gonna take you a lot more than a week and a half to learn to WILD |
|
WILD is not for beginners in anyway. WILD requires a lot of experience before being able to be pulled off. |
|
You're not giving a method enough time. It takes people years to get to grips with this kind of thing. I really want a LD too, but i'm being realistic about it |
|
You dont need sleep paralysis to lucid dream. There are plently of other methods. You are probably better off anyway because sometimes sp isnt that pleasant. |

Billybob has the greatest tutorial that I've found for WILD'ing. There is one specific thing that it seems you are doing wrong- concentrating on your attempt to WILD. When you're falling asleep, don't watch out for imagery, listen for sounds, etc. Simply fall asleep. He suggests using an "anchor", or something that you passively concentrate on in order to keep your mind empty and relaxed. As soon as you're about to fall asleep, and you think "I wonder how close I am to dreaming?" you've brought yourself into awareness and ruined your chances. Read some more of the tutorials on here, I especially suggest Billybob's, and give yourself more time to work on it. If you feel you're getting too frustrated, take a break from it for a while before trying it again. It's achievable for everyone, you just have to figure out what you're doing wrong. |
