[TheBigZ]

This Saturday i will be trying out for my first WILD ever i was wondering if anyone has any insider tips or just some general helpful points that can assist me ill update this thread after as well to tell how i went thanks in advance for any help

Ok! I'm still learning but I have done a few attempts and here is the advice I can give; Stack at least 2 pillows in order to subdue the swallowing reflex, if this isn't enough insider adding a tilt to your bed with some sort of support on two of the legs closest to the pillow end. Try and use a good technique to keep your mind awake, I recommend drawing your dream world line by line or reciting a mantra. Use the wake back to bed technique, this is really important, as you want to WILD later in your sleep cycle when your REM Periods are longer.

Thank you very much for your tips i plan on useing the WBTB technique im really excited haha No problem man! Glad I could be of some assistance, don't get to excited, you need to be able to trick that body into falling asleep! Oh and, one final tip, if you experience Any vibrations or hallucinations try and ignore them as much as possible as they can really ruin a WILD attempt if they can get in your mind to much.

If it doesn't work out don't lose confidence. WILDs take practice but it's worth it.

When I first started doing WILD I could never get past the vibrations because I would get too excited. But a little while back I finally learned to stay calm and just ride the waves into a dream. I can WILD fairly good but it's just takes too long for me. I'm not the type that can fall asleep within minutes.

I'm not the type that can fall asleep within minutes. I know what you mean.. I tried to WILD last night, after laying there for about 20 minutes with nothing but tingles and a heavy body, can be frustrating but you just gotta got over it xD Also, Maybe you are not doing your WBTB effectivley and you are to far away from a REM Period? Could be to blame, not sure though.

You don't really need to care about swallowing and such and you don't need to keep any special position when WILDing, and it's not about staying awake either, WILD is just about falling asleep while being aware of it , i highly suggest reading this in-depth tutorial: http://www.dreamviews.com/wild/ WBTB is good for the WILD, also if you use naps you could try WILDing during naps as well, naps are golden for LDing in general too if you have time for them. Good luck!
