Hey so I have tried WILD 3 times so far. I was able to LD the first time only. The other 2 times I had a very hard time counting past 10 "1 i am dreaming,etc..". I always get distracted by visualizations or whatever. I just restart each time this happends because I completely forget what number I was on. Please help me if you can.
That is the right way to do it. You are not counting for counting's sake. You do not need to get past ten, you do not need to even get the order correct. You are lulling your mind into sleep, but using the counting to know when you have given up on staying aware. Do not ever try to remember your place. If you loose track just start over. It is supposed to be mind numbing, and to prevent you from thinking. If you realize you have stopped counting, then you are not aware enough, just go back to counting. Understanding why you are doing it is important. You are reducing concious thought by replacing it. It also tells you when you are loosing too much awareness, because you forget to count. You want to reach a state where the counting is dream like.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, teapot. Why teapot/ Oh,,, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, what a weird feeling. I wonder what/ Oh,,,, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on.
Thanks! I will let you know how it goes
