Okay, I'll start off by saying I am an impatient person, which is just barely overmastered by me wanting more LDs. So I've always struggled if I try to WILD. And I've never had a successful WILD. I've tried a couple times with counting breaths, but I have a terrible concept of time and always end up giving up at around 30 minutes.

So first question, I've read that minor movements can bring you back a little, but not quite all the way, out of the WILDing process. What do you guys consider eye movement? does everyone keep still including their eyes or do some people move those around and still WILD. I ask because I always end up moving them no matter how much I try to stay still.

Also, is it best to breath through nose or mouth? not really that important, just wondering what works better for most people.

And most importantly, are there any milestone type feelings while WILDing just to know I'm doing it right so far? things like hands going numb, stabilizing of hypnogogic imagery, or anything like that?

And lastly, I hear the body gives little "test" to make sure you are asleep. How strong are they? are they like a little itch or something way worse?

If you could answer any of these questions I'd be extremely grateful! Thanks, Xedan
