Thread: Waking up after a successful WILD

SP is a disorder. We only experience it few times in a lifetime, when something goes wrong. It's not part of WILDing process.

You don't have to always get same HH, or same ones as others do. Sometimes it's vibrations, sometimes images, sometimes nothing, or they are so subtle, that you don't notice them. So I would not worry about HH. That just makes you think about your physical body, which is not the way to go.

If you are able to be just a passive observer of anything that's happening during transition, this article may be helpful in finding another way of entering a WILD http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...ntry-wild.html

I'm not sure, but I don't feel like that RC is the best one. You still need to use your physical body to do it. Have you tried different RCs? Like looking at your dream hands? Or just standing up/rolling out?

FA is a normal, non-lucid dream, that starts in your room. If you already lucid (never lost consciousness), then it's not an FA. It's just a lucid dream, that happens to start in your room. I used to get a lot of those. I'm thinking I'm still WILDing, when I realize I can see my room. My mind is awake, I see my room, I'm lucid, but until I stand up, I'm not always sure. But when I stand up, I realize I'm in 3D in a lucid dream. When I say stand up, I mean with my dream body.

Try a different RC, without any use of physical body. That may help. Also, try to stand up without opening your eyes. Btw, you mean dream eyes, right? Stand up and after a few seconds you can take your sunglasses off, wipe your eyes clean, pry them open. Or bring your hands in front of you and say something like "wow, nice details". You may start getting your sight back. Hope some of this helps. Happy dreams

Hmm, strange, I ALWAYS read/saw about SP in guides. It's described as something standard that happens when you WILD. I already wondered why I never felt such paralysis in my body. Now I understand.

FA is a normal, non-lucid dream, that starts in your room. If you already lucid (never lost consciousness), then it's not an FA. It's just a lucid dream, that happens to start in your room.

This is what I meant, I am lucid when the dream starts.

I use this RC because it requires almost no effort. I use my dream body for it, not my physical body (otherwise I'm not in a dream). I wake up because of movement in my dream. Looking at my dream hands is even more effort than just moving one muscle in my throat. And my RC it's reliable for me, when it fails I never get disturbed during any WILD attempt, so that's pretty much why I use it when I get this type of dream.

My problem is that when I open my dream eyes, my room is also pretty vague. After I open my dream eyes and move a little, I suddenly wake up.
Good idea, btw, I'll try to stand up without opening my dream eyes, if that won't wake me up. If I succeed, I will visualize my room when I'm standing.

Anyways, thanks for the help, I will try it next time and post the results
