Thread: WILDing Myself to Sleep

I've been attempting to WILD for about a week straight now and I've gotten pretty close! In one instance, I remember going through sleep paralysis and seeing an image of an arrowhead. I lost concentration when I focused in on it of course, my heart was racing and I was breathing rapidly when I woke up. My word of advice is to keep practicing, it may help you get used to the sensations and allow you to free your mind.

P.S. Were you trying to WILD when you first went to bed? I've been trying a method of sleeping 5-6 hours in the night, staying up for about a half-hour, and then trying WILD. Recently though, I've been dozing off before waking my mind up enough, perhaps staying up for an hour should do the trick. Anyway, hope this helps!

P.S.S I guess they called it "wild" for a reason!

Snakecharmer - if you read my first post you will see why I'm trying to WILD at the beginning of the night. Thanks for your advice though. I'll do what I can to follow it.

Darthedreamer - If you have an itch don't think about it, just itch it. If it itches your gonna be forced to concentrate on it and your concentrating on ignoring it rather then WILDing. Just itch it and move on. For me at least it really hasn't done any harm to itch it. I can still get SP soon after. The movements are normal too. They are called hypnic jerks and there's really no explanation for it but wikipedia says that some believe it happens because your body thinks you are dying and it's trying to jerk you back. They are completely normal. My head jerks like crazy right before I hit SP. Then my breathing gets deep and fast and my heart starts racing and it's awesome.
