Does anyone have an opinion on this? Or any experience with insomnia and WILDs? |
|
I don't think I have true insomnia but I have bouts where i can't sleep. No stress and my mind is calm and quiet. It's like my I'm ready to sleep but my brain won't make the switch. I usually try a montra or SSILD to fall asleep but it doesn't work. But My body will twitch, like it's trying to go to sleep but It cant. I was wondering if in these instances of no sleep ,Would WILD work, since my mind is awake and it's seems like my body wants to sleep? |

I am not so sure that would be a good time to try a WILD, I imagine if you are trying to go to sleep you have already been awake for a while, so it is not likely you will go directly into the dream state. |

"Parable.- Those thinkers in whom all stars move in cyclic orbits are not the most profound: whoever looks into himself as into vast space and carries galaxies in himself also knows how irregular all galaxies are; they lead into the chaos and labyrinth of existence."- Friedrich Nietzsche, the gay science, First published in 1882 revised in 1887, translated by Walter Kaufmann [/SIGPIC]
For experiments sake, and since I'm up not sleeping. What would be a good technique to try to see if it's possible ? |

If you're not going to go to sleep, Redrooster, you're not going to be able to do a WILD. This is because you need to fall asleep in order to complete a WILD (and have your dream). I know that sounds obvious, but it seemed worth mentioning. |

Thanks guys for the guidance. Although disappointing, I appreciate the info. |
|
Yes I do. I have (slight) insomnia-like you. I also WILD. I'm still in the learning stages of figuring out what works for me. |

Thanks dreamswimmer. Repeating montras and ssild cycles usually work for me to fall asleep but not on these nights of insomnia. What techniques have you found work for you both achieving wilds and falling asleep? |
|
The key is not to be too aware. This sounds strange but I've found the hard way that if you try to WILD and you're constantly repeating mantras there's a 95% chance that you'll just stay awake. If you're tired before hand it's ok, but on nights that we're insomniac-its impossible. |

Thanks for the tips. I'm definitely going to try this. I have not technically wilded but while doing the ssild cycles I've have vibrations and other strange stuff happen but I can't get past the "stuff and I haven't made the transition into the dream yet. |

Unfortunately I'm not that advanced yet! One day I definitely will though. |
