      Consistently Successful WILD technique. Need help with immediate aftermath

      I developed a highly successful method for WILDs when I'm napping during the day or after WBTB. When I'm on the couch or in bed, and feel myself starting to drift off, I imagine the feeling of rolling off of the couch or bed as intensely as possible over and over again. A large percentage of the time, it's as if I "roll" into a dream. I tell myself that if I feel myself "roll off", I am in a dream. The only problem is, after I'm in the dream, I can't seem to control my body. I attempt to get up and just keep falling down. Not sure if this is just a personal problem with Dream Control, but wanted to share the method. Would definitely appreciate any comments or advice.

      If you can't stay up, you could try sinking into the floor to fall into another dream scene, you could ask a DC to help you stay up, or you could try to fly around before trying to land again.

      It could be that you're not fully in REM yet. I'm having a somewhat similar problem. I start to feel like I'm on a heatless rotisserie and then free fall. When the feeling stops, I open my eyes, and I'm in a dream. However it can be hard to control my movement, like im dissacociated from my dream self or sometimes the dream gets cut short randomly. I found just laying there in the blackness for a minute after the sensations pass helps to get control of my dream body.

      This happens to me as well. I WILD and my dream starts with me in bed but then I can't get up, seems as if gravity is 1000x lol. The effort to get up eventually wakes me.

      Using your tactile imagination to do things like that is very effective for inducing WILDs. The part of the brain which deals with and maps the body is much larger than the visual cortex, by a factor of ten. So the amount of dream inducing GABAergic receptors being stimulated is much higher. I have been using very similar methods for some time. In function this is not a great deal different from the rope technique.
