I've never WILDed before (DILDed quite a few times though), but I tried to last night. I pictured myself behind the wheel of my car, driving through my neighborhood. I tried to think mostly about how it felt to turn my steering wheel. The only problem was I could not focus on this image. I kept losing it and my mind kept wandering, so I had to keep trying to get it back on track. I finally started to feel the onset of sleep paralysis, and saw some HI start to form into an image of my hands on the wheel, but then I got excited and also heard a noise come from upstairs, so I was jarred completely out of the potential WILD.

So here are my questions: How can I avoid getting too excited? And also, how can I keep my mental imagery without having my mind wander all over the place?
