Thread: I still can't get it right

There is no numbness stage, that's just a result of lying still for a long time, it isn't progress. I know it's annoying to keep hearing this, but the only thing you should be thinking about is you anchor. If your timing is right then there will always be a dream to enter. Example: I attempted this morning and lay for I don't know how long, not feeling sleepy thinking "there's no way this is going down", rolled over and abruptly fell asleep without awareness... and then had a lucid dream.

The lesson: you can't second guess your body. Until you've got the WILD mileage under your belt you won't know what to look for, so the only thing to do is do one thing based on the fundamentals and then keep doing it until you succeed.

You shouldn't be thinking "oh I got to numbness, that's a minor success at least", looking for milestones is what is keeping you from WILDing. Practice meditation, learn to observe an object and return to it everytime you are distracted, it's the same as WILD.
