Thread: What am I doing wrong in my WILD?

Ehm I am not entirely sure where I stand yet. My friends that were skeptical before have experienced things that have proven to them that our dreams is more than just memories and stuff created by our brain. And I have also experienced weird things. But I have not got enough proof to convince me that the astral/ out of body state and so on is more than just memories. Except for one time:
I met a DC/ entity that told his name was Iapetos and I had no idea who it was. I googled the name upon awakening and was very shocked that the name actually existed and of who it was!

Anyway back to your question. Don't try to aim for sleep paralysis if you look around this forum section you will see hundreds of people saying "I'm in SP but can't go to the dream!"
I personally don't believe that sleep paralysis is something more than just a FA nightmare.
We get paralyzed in sleep yes. But in order to lucid dream you don't need to be in SP!
Remember that.

Because of my and my friends strange experiences I have started to believe that dream are more than dreams. So I started reading Robert Monroes Book where he describes his journey from skeptical to spiritual. I strongly suggest you read "Journeys out of the body". When I finished that book I was interested in learning how to do it as easily as he did.
So I started listening to his guided meditation or Gateways Waves as he calls it and I can achieve what you describe now in just 36 minutes by just relaxing. Not to brag I just want to clarify that heavy sensations can be mistaken as sleep paralysis. So don't aim for sleep paralysis just aim for relaxation of the mind and body and just observe what your body does.
I am actually at the tape where he teach how to float out and then land back in the body again, so when I get to the later tapes he will teach me how to separate, so I can't help you with that yet.

Although there are many experienced WILDers on the forum which you can read the posts from, where they describe how they separate.
But I just have to say if you are experiencing false awakenings you should be glad because then you are close to your goal, because you have already separated then. Just don't forget to reality check after every "failed" attempt

I realize now that I didn't answered your question properly, but that's because there is no right answer you have to find out by your self with your own sensations. But 2 years ago I used to DEILD all the time then my answer would be: If you feel any strong strange sensations get out of bed with all your might because you are in a dream bed. So many attempts have failed just because I didn't reality checked...

If your interested in the Gateway Experience I have a link to it in some of my old posts.

Good luck!

Ps. If I ... I mean WHEN I learn to separate and have listened to the other tapes you will be the first to know =)
