Thread: Not getting anywhere

First off, I'm sorry for my stupid questions but if I didn't have a burning desire to know more and to improve I wouldn't ask them and this desire is really strong

I have been trying to WILD for a while and what I have got is feeling feeling numb and it kind of feels like I wouldn't be able to move my muscles but I can quite easily (this is not SP)

I also have spontaneous twitches.

I can seemingly flying downwards and in other directions but mostly downwards while in my bed. These instances appear to be mostly from my own willpower/imagination but it doesn't always come when I want it to.

I have pretty much no HI except from an image after about 450 -- I'm dreaming things which seem to take roughly 5 seconds each but once I get a couple of these (which are widely spaced out) it just disappears and I seem to be right where I started again.

I don't even give up 5 minutes after I started, I do swallow every now and then but I don't think it would completely destroy the time that I spent on it and I can swallow while having the flying feeling and it continues. I also have a positive mind and actually think/know that I will be able to get a WILD that night. I have lay there for nearly 2 hours and nothing happens except from said things. The closest I have got to a WILD is actually falling asleep by accident while doing it and having a DILD instead

Are there other people who just seem to get stuck like me and if there is, is there any way to get past this or something? I would try DILDS but they don't seem to be quite what I want.

Important question before we move on: how long is "a while"?

Heh, I knew somebody would ask me this, hmm, a month and a halfish? However, nearly everybody else/everybody else seems to at least of entered SP by a couple of weeks on and off trying but I've been trying nearly every night (taking breaks when I do need them) and I'm just wondering if there is something that could be stopping me. As it seems unusual not to have even entered SP and it doesn't seem like I'm that close either. I am stressing a bit but the stress only really occurs when I'm doing it/there and doesn't affect me later on in the day.

I am pretty much on the same page as you are. I twitch kind of violently after awhile sometimes. When I am trying to WILD, I go into little mini dreams (thats the only way I can explain it. Is this HI?)

Dying Dignity, are you trying to WILD during WBTB or just when you go to sleep at night?

During WBTB - I sleep around 5 and a half hours but I think that I should reduce the time and get a bit more tired because once I'm awake for a while I can't get back to sleep.

I think those mini dreams are HI but as you can see, I'm not very experienced with this myself.

How violent are those twitches?

It's a sudden jolt or muscle spasm, isolated usually. My girlfriend gets these alot. She usually falls asleep before for I do and I used to tease her about the twitches before I tried WILD'ing. She told me that it's a biological response to when your body first goes into SP sometimes because sometimes your mind thinks you body is dying.
