Hey everyone! I've been practising really hard lately to enter a WILD but it's just so hard. I went to bed at around 3am today and woke up at 8:10 or so. So I wake up, write down 3 dreams I remember and then go to the toilet, get back up and read some stuff on my phone about dreaming. Jeff's freefalling guide in particular. So I was trying to WILD according to his steps. Here's what happened in steps:
1. I lay down and keep passive awareness, noticing illogical thought patterns. I let it happen a couple of times for about 5-10 mins.
2. I proceed to the next step and lay on my back while having deep, but not too deep, controlled breaths.
3. I count down from 100 to 1 to maintain logical thought patterns and to keep awareness.
Now at this point I don't feel very much I'm just getting bored and about 15-20 mins have passed.
4. Nothing happens... weird. I count down from 100 to 1 again and when I'm at about 70 something happens.
It feels like my perception of space and time is really weird. Almost like I'm sort of zooming in and out. Eventually this feeling wears off and I'm waiting for it to come back. It doesn't, and I call it quits after 10 more minutes and get up.
My environment? Well my luxaflex sucks so light is very visibly coming through. It's a big distraction, but it isn't keeping me from falling asleep. I've tried visualizing when I felt things happen (step 4). I'll practise more.
Does it seem like I'm progressing?
