It’s just another way of going about it. Some people, especially those that are good at visualizing things, actually try to induce HI or otherwise visualize and actively imagine dream scenarios. But it depends on the person. I’m terrible at that stuff, but for some it works wonders.
You just need to find what works best for you. I’ve yet to have and LD through WILD, but I haven’t really been trying hard the last few days. I think I’ll give it a rest for a week or two and then come in fresh, so to speak.
During my last BTB+wild, today, i had a feeling of falling of my body.
I guess it could be provoked by my sleeping position, i slept on the right side
the question to Lucidity Master : what do you think about that?
The falling was probably some sort of the typical vibration or HH that come with the onset of REM sleep REM/Sleep paralysis. Additionally, for some people this is what triggers a myclonic jerk (essentially a random jerk of your body, usually as you enter into a slighter deeper stage of sleep than waking life - myclonic jerk is 100% natural and expected).
Both experiences are completely natural and for many people expected with the onset of sleep paralysis.
As far as sleeping position, I prefer my back, but if you can stay awake on your right and and its more comfortable by all means go for it.
ummm well, I don’t know if this would be the wright place to ask but I’ve been trying to WILD and I will be laying there for like an hour ( if not longer) and nothing happens. I was wondering what you guys think about that and if you have any suggestions on it.
I do relax and lay still on my back, stay focused but i don’t know its just not working. I don’t go into SP.
Im pretty sure this question comes up quite often but what the heck can I do to prevent/ stop my heart from racing while trying WBTB?
when I tried WILD one and a half years ago for the first time my heart relly started pumping when I got to the “drifting back” sensation. This night I was close to a hearttattack when my body got numb ^^
saying to myself to stay calm did not really work… do you have any ideas what mantra or thechnique there ist that might help? Beacuase I was on a good way but this really got me back into the waking world…
I had a similar thing with out of control heart beat and “just calming down” is unfortunately not an option. I haven’t been able to come that close to WILDing since though.
I was having trouble getting LD past last few months. I recalled that I was going sleep pretty late so I decided to go sonner to get more sleep time. Yesterday I went to bed earlier and I was thinking about the same thing as usual. Some time later I was feeling little closer to the bed (like on the water bed <- is this how it is called?). I also thought that my heart and breath rate were higher than normal. Was I entering alfa or WILD?
I have experienced my heart rate increasing when trying to WILD too, I put it down to my thoughts being, “I might be getting somewhere.”; that I could feel something. I think that the best advice to avoid this, would be to try and detach yourself from the experience. To try and say it as if it’s happening to somebody else, when acknowledging what you are feeling. For example to say that the body is feeling ‘whatever’ and so on.
It could also simply be the reaction to the feelings, with that I guess the best thing would be to learn about what you might feel. After feeling it a few times your reaction should be calmer.
First I didn´t feel anything. Then I started to see patterns of violet light. (usually it´s green) Then my thoughts started spreading around, I couldn´t really control them. Then I imagined (though I didn´t realize it), that I would see a burning house. After some time I realized that my face felt very hot and weird, but when I moved, it stopped.
So was that of any good?
EDIT: And btw, Is relaxing needed, if I see the HI without it?
ok, so I was doing WILD, when suddenly, bright flashes shone in my eyes. Millions of pin-pricks of red light also shone. My body started feeling…Fake, I guess I could call it…You know how you can sorta tell if your in a dream or not? In dreams, you need to do a reality check, to see if it’s a dream or not, but in real life, people can tell, but they do em anyway. Well, I coundn’t tell! I felt fake. I touched my face, and It didn’t feel like it was mine. I did a reality check, but it said I was still awake. this feeling lasted for the rest of the night, untill I fell asleep.
Is it dangerous to WILD? I mean can it have an effect on your health if you WILD when you go to sleep every night?
I read about narcolepsy yesterday and that’s when you enter REM sleep immediately after you fall asleep, instead of later in the night. Alot of people with narcolepsy can fall asleep in the middle of the day at the craziest places, like real deep sleep too, because they don’t have that deep sleep at night.
Oh, and i have the problem of waking up when im too tired… so a just fall to sleep, as for me im lying there for about… 40 minutes ? before anything happens. Ive WILDed before but that still took as long. Is there a way of shortening this time span?
Winter-depths;
It sounds like an OBE to me…
Or maybe AP? Cause people who have them tend to say they see lights of different colours…
As for the RC… idk. Maybe cause it was your OBE body…meh.
Hope this helps… maybe you could look up OBE’s and see if what you experienced matched with anything to do with OBEs
