Thread: Why You Fail at WILDs

I'd like to thank you Mzzkc,

Your guide in combination with BillyBob's How to WILD has given me the final piece of the puzzle.
Now it's up to me to figure out how to solve it (and I'm already making some progress with it)

I now realize that it's inevitable that I need to find my own way.

Once again,
Thanks

Hunh, I just re-read that, for the first time in very long time, and realized BillyBob was trying to do nearly exactly the same thing I tried to do here. Our approaches and focus are vastly different, however. While I put heavy emphasis on the bare bones solution to the problem that is plaguing DV (and somewhat toward the idea that everyone has to develop their own technique), BillyBob spread his focus to cover all the bases, which might have hurt the strength of his underlying message.

For a second, I was worried that if I didn't see the light when I read through it so long ago, then everyone might be doomed to figure it out themselves. But then I re-read your post and it dawned on me this thread really does compliment BillBob's tutorial in a way that might help accelerate the progress of those who read both. It's great to see you're forging your own path, and I'm glad I could help you, if even a little bit.

Still, I thought for sure I was one step ahead on this one. Oh well, the delusion was nice while it lasted. XP

Indeed, where both of you want to convey the importance of falling asleep, BillyBob presents it as a concrete technique with an emphasis on 'the falling asleep part' whereas you present it more as a mindset/view which people trying to WILD should have. As BillyBob's is a true tutorial I don't think him covering the bases hurts the strength of his underlying message, I think people's preconceived misconceptions do. I would advice anyone to read through both carefully, trying to link them together. It really does give you a head start.

Neither one is actually ahead of the other, I hope that lifts your disappointment a bit
