You can't WILD without falling asleep. That's pretty much all I said. Try not to separate falling asleep and retaining consciousness when you think about WILDing, as both of these things must be done simultaneously. For a successful WILD, one must occur in conjunction with the other. . .

It's like breathing correctly while you run. It doesn't matter how much oxygen you intake before you run, if you don't breathe properly when you're running, you're going to fail pretty hard and end up wasting your time.

I hope that makes sense, because I can see you're having trouble grasping the basics of this idea. This isn't a step by step guide to WILDing like a lot of the others you see. If anything, it's a step by step guide to understanding how WILDing works, which isn't an entirely linear process, as it turns out.

And just to be sure I've covered all the bases, and since you mentioned WBTB, WILDs have their best chances of success during WBTBs and naps (IE when you're already close to REM). However, WILD can be done at any time, it's just not in your best interest to do so.
