When attempting to WILD, I can normally get to the part where I start feeling sensations throughout my body. After a 30 minute WBTB, I will go back to bed, and lay there completely still saying my mantra. After my body is relaxed and I feel like I am "ready", I will start counting or doing some other technique to take my mind off of my physical body. When I take my mind off of my physical body like this, I start feeling the vibrations, plus it feels like a heavy blanket is put on my body. Soon after I start feeling these sensations, they go away, and I am back to stage one.

Could it be that I am not "ready" to start the WILD yet? Or is it simply because I am not entering an REM cycle? How can I get past this stage in my WILD?
