What to do next? WILD attemps

**Renji** · 10-14-2012 02:26 AM

So until just recently, I had been attempting to WILD while napping and I have had about 5 instances so far. Each time I experience different symptoms but they always transition fast into SP. One time I had success moving my arm around shortly after I noticed the SP and I also realized that my arm never actually moved, but it was my dream arm (it ended right after that). Last night I was sleeping and I had an unplanned WILD attempt after I woke up from some noise in my dorm. I went straight into very intense SP but I couldn't quite make anything of it. I try to move and "open my dream eyes" but I can't seem to make much of it. Is this just lack of practice?

Think of SP as another type of dream. You are asleep and dreaming. All you have to do is change the dream scene. Visualize your own scenario, imagine a recent memory, or just go along with whatever hallucination is happening. If you are hallucinating in sleep paralysis, you are very close to a dream. You just need to tip over the edge into a full dream.

Next time you feel your dream arm moving, realize that you are in the non-physical focus that is required to dream, so try to move your whole dream body somehow.

With more experience you can learn how to transition fully part by part, step by step. So if you can't "see" continue by moving instead, at first you will not be able to feel the difference of the real body and the dream body, but in time you will.

Good luck and tell us how it goes!

Thanks for the advice guys. The night of my original post I went to sleep very tired physically and within 10 minutes I was feeling my body fall asleep as I stayed fully aware. I had this weird sensation come over my body and it felt like I was becoming part of the bed. SP came over me but my heart started beating faster and I paid too much attention to it and lost it. I basically got too excited, but the breakthrough was I have never stayed fully aware from start to finish and the difference was made a lot clearer to me last night. I will post more results as I have them
