The BIG WILD Topic - Part X

I do see and imagine things as I try to WILD, but I seem to generally fall asleep. I keep counting but I don’t know if its worse or I should try to just count without saying 1… I’m dreaming, 2…I’m dreaming, etc.

If I decide to count instead of HI for a change of pace I always use the I’m Dreaming phrasew because if I drift off to sleep the phrase will usally initiate a lucid dream.

I’m getting a small light, presumably an HI, which grows into a scene. I have managed to enter it twice this night and I had 2 LD’s with this method.

So it seems to be working for me. Of course before I’ll have slept listening to LD test preset most of the time, but not every time.

I managed to WILD for the first time ever :smile: . When i woke up from a dream i didn’t move. Suddenly my entire body started vibrating very very very intensly and it felt like i was falling, suddenly i was in a LD. So i was wondering if WILD vibrations always are this intense, or is it just me?

They are often quite intense, but it is nothing to fear, eventually you’ll get to the point where you barley pay attention to them

every once in a whial, as i’m falling a sleep My body feels like i’m laying on a giant spring and its kindof pushing my up and pulling my back down. it only happens when i’m about to fall asleep. I remmeber inducing it specificaly to fall asleep a kid who used to suffer from insomnia. is this the vibration your talking about. or is it more like that of a viberating chair?

It seems that i almost always get some varning that i’m about to fall asleep. Like small spasms, itch or a tingling sensation. Last night an image of a girl just flashed infront of me. I even got vibrations, but i have a hard time not moving when i start feeling the vibrations. It seems like i don’t get much HI or sounds when i WILD only vibrations.
Does anyone have any advice?

Sence i’ve started doing VILD i have gotten these vibrations every night but, they always supries me and i get excited cause i know i’m doing something right. then i lose the vibrations and am once again wide awake. This is very anyoing. any suggestion would be helpfull.

I have been trying WILD every night this week when i went to sleep. Seems very hard to do i before going to sleep. But this morning i managed to WILD very quickly but i had an OBE where i just floated away and couldn’t do anything. People doesn’t seem too intrested in the WILD topic at the moment. If anyone have trouble WILD ing you could try to force yourself into a LD when you are in the black void just after the vibrations. Otherwise you end up in an OBE, and atlease i find them anoying because i can’t do much else that float around.
The forcing kinda feels like you force yourself out of your own body and into the dreamworld. If anyone tries and get it to work please let me know.

Alright.

I have been practising a lot, and I can get to the vibrations about every time that I try (usually in the middle of the day, because I am much more concentrated), within about 30 minutes. Most times, however, they fade away in a few seconds, and I am just back where I was. Also, some times a small part of my body (for example my arms) gets paralyzed, with no further results whatsoever.

So my question: what to do when in the vibrations? On what should I concentrate, and on what not? What thoughts should I have? Can any ‘pro’ :tongue: help me with that?

JJJ

Q:So my question: what to do when in the vibrations? On what should I concentrate, and on what not? What thoughts should I have? Can any ‘pro’ help me with that?

A: At this point you should start to let yourself go. Try to focus on imagies in your mind and let yourself be drawn into them. You don’t want to get excited or scared by the vibrations. Most importantly you do not want to put any attention to the real world or your real body. I know this part is hard but, you are almost there and you will get there with more pratice. Also, don’t give any attention to the vibrations either. The main goal here is letting go and just let things happen. Everyone has trouble at this stage at first so you are not alone. With pratice you will get past it. Everyone has there own technique for getting past this. I focus on images, others focas on createing a dream body and roll or float out of there real body.

(I hope this makes sence to you. I would try to explain better but I don’t have a lot of time tonight and I wanted to give you a quick answer as I know how tough this part can be. None of the books out there {and I think I read them all} really explain how to get past this part or what to expect. Sorry for the typeos too.)

Hang in there you will get it.

Happy Dreaming

I think I had a WILD recently or a WILD within a dream. It happened shortly after going to bed. My whole body felt very relaxed and there was a bright yellow glow of light in front of me. I started to feel lucid like I was about to enter another world but then I suddenly thought about sleep paralysis which worried me. I managed to ignore it for a few seconds before shaking myself awake, not actually awake in RL.
Now I just wish I’d let it continue :grrr:

im such a paranoid person that i get scared BEFORE the vibrations lol :sad: i plan to try tonight tho…

what do you do to keep yourselves conscious? i usually count backwards, or use the VILD technique… but i haven’t had much luck as i fall asleep soon enough. one moment, i’m working on staying aware… and the next i’m waking up. it seems like it must take a lot of concentration to get yourself into the dream, i’m not gonna give up… i want to get better with this technique. thanks

I have a problem that keeps me from getting the WILD. For some reason, I regularly (almost involuntarily) swallow saliva, or lick my lips as if they are dry. Would this be enough to keep my attention on the real world and not on the HI or the dream? Could that be preventing me from getting a WILD?

that happens to me as well epik, that would be one of my main problems… but i noticed that i only have to swallow occasionally when laying on my back, so if i lay in another position the urge to swallow goes away. try it and let me know if it helps :smile:

as for licking your lips, just drink more water throughout the day or apply chapstick and it should help your lips keep moist.

This morning I was sleeping very lightly and was trying to create the spinning sensation. At the same time I could see bright yellow light and felt a whirring in my ears, going from left to right to left …etc. This made me think about WILD but then I woke up because of noises in the house.

fair enough, i’ll give that a shot. thanks. :smile:

I’ve had lucid dreams but I wasn’t really following any particular method. But a few hours ago…11pm i think I was in the WBTB stage and tried the WILD technique after an hour of reading on lucid dreams. I cannot get these vibrations…

here’s what I do.

I always thought you have to sleep on your back with your arms at your side and your feet spread apart to be lucid. I have a hard time falling asleep like that so I always roll over on my side. Does that matter?
Plus when I am trying to relax I always get an itch somewhere :bored:

After reading this thread I haven’t really found out anything new on WILDs so can someone just either throw up a link to a good place with a WILD description or post step by step instructions? Including ways to breathe, posititons, what to think about, etc…

thanks in advance
