Thread: Mancon's In Depth WILD Guide

A little tip that seems to work for many, if you would like to add... is to stretch in the time you get up from the WBTB alarm.

Focus on every little part of your body, and make sure it is as relaxed as possible. Doing so, you will get a tad bit tired and it can possibly aid you in decreasing WILD preparation time.

Thanks a ton! I tried this in my latest WILD, and I got to a certain phase that I've been through several times faster than ever before. However, this phase is something I need help with now, as I've had the same problem time and time again.

I reach a phase where suddenly, I feel a tingling around my body. I feel slightly heavier, my head vibrates a bit, and my eyes try to make themselves open, which I have to force them shut with as little force as I can. My entire body goes number than previously with this sensation, but it only lasts around 10 seconds. Then it disappears and I return to where I was before.

So my questions are: Is this the transition phase to Sleep Paralysis?
And how come it consistently ends after a few seconds? I don't focus on the SP, I simply continue counting 1-10 in my head. Should I stop counting at the transition, or am I missing something? Any help would be nice.

So you are doing it partially correct. At this moment when you feel the tingling, don't concentrate on ANYTHING. I can't stress enough, that when you are trying to transition in WILD you cannot pay attention to anything whatsoever other than your counting. However, at this point your counting should almost be automatic, and you don't even need to think about it. If you are able to, lay with a clear head, and very briefly ponder each *random thought that you come across.

Also i'm not aware of your counting method, but heres how I do it.

I count 1 breath as = breath in, breath out

Try that tonight, or whenever, and maybe you'll get farther! It's only a matter of trial and error buddy!

*random thoughts = As you reach the end of SP and the dream stage your mind is flooded with random thoughts that often even make up the dream scene. Do not ponder each one too long. I warn you on their randomness, flying monkeys with bananas on mars, and such. I am not familiar with the technique, but using these random thoughts you can induce a lucid dream.

Yeah, I may have just reached SP a bit too fast. By the time I remembered the counting aspect of SP, I had only counted 1-10 about 5 times. But I do the counts with breaths, as you suggested. I'd TRY to peacefully and calmly ponder on each random thought that pops up... If I had any I reach that stage, then 10 seconds later, I'm back at the way I was before, just a bit number. But I'll try again, this time I'm going to try to stop the counting in my head and just focus on nothing. If that doesn't work, I'll work a bit harder on counting passively. (As ironic as that sentance is)
