      Unhappy HI Confusion

      Okay, i've attempted to WILD over 18 times and only once reached what I perceived to be SP. Now, I thought to myself that I may be completely missing it all, I always assumed you would see HI projected onto the back of your eyelids, as if you were watching these bright colours, what I HAVE done is at about 200-300 breath counts is thinking about something passively and letting this entire 'short dream' play itself out in the back of my mind while I focus on counting my breathing. However, I'm not sure what to make of it seeing as I never entered sleep paralysis (to my knowledge) and when I gave up trying, I could simply sit up (without being paralysed).

      I'm starting to loose motivation after putting all this effort in with no feedback or improvement.

      Just want you to know you're not alone. I've been working hard on WILDs and I can't seem to WILD deliberately (and I haven't had an accidental WILD for ages).
      My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.

      Hey poot, don't get discouraged! A little research around DV about HI and the WILD method should yield these important points:

      Not everyone experiences HH, just as not everyone feels SP - but SP happens nonetheless! SP is different for everyone - boy is that true - and some people don't even feel that paralysis set in. You could be in SP and not even know it, because as soon as you move it's gone. If you don't see HI, don't get discouraged - they don't always happen. Keep watching for those all-important dream scenes to occur.

      When during the day/night do you WILD, and where does that occur relative to your sleep schedule? (Are you just lying down to bed, are you taking afternoon naps, etc.) Also, how long do you wait before giving up or falling asleep? Some cases can take more than 90 minutes, as you may have read before.
      DV Dictionary. / Verious: a definition. /

      I'm not on DV much these days, but I'll try to toss a cool dream or two into my DJ.
