Every time I’ve tried this, I became so uncomfortable that I couldn’t resist moving. Last time, I focused really hard on ignoring it and staying still. Suddenly, my leg twiched automagically and the numb heavy feeling disappeared. This technique feels impossible, but I’ll keep trying.
Hmm, yes, I definately focus on it. Perhaps I should try to react in the same why as when someone is tickling you and you pretend that you don’t feel it
At least now I know that it will stop at some time 
I tried again last night. After a while a nerv in my leg started twitching like crazy. It felt like someone was knocking on my thigh from inside the bed.
haha, yeh thats what happens sometimes. Just let whatever happen - happen. If you feel itchy you know its normal just ignore it (this has been said so many times) but you really shouldn’t care about it. Don’t think of whether your comfortable or not, because then you’ll think your not and feel like moving.
I failed at this. mainly because I fell asleep before I could try it. seeing as it is late, I guess I’ll try another night.
i tried it and it worked, but when it really happened and i felt like entering the hypnagogic state, i was so surprised that i opened my eyes and was awake again 
Not everyone is going to be able to do use this method. That iching feeling that feels like it’s “inside” your leg, could be a form of restless leg syndrome. Older people tend to have it worse, in my and many cases the movement is involuntary and just gets worse when ignored.
Just to clarify:
If we mean the same, it isn’t really itching. Actually it feels very different, only the urge to move is similiar, and I just can’t find a better word. I would rather compare it to a claustrophobic panic-attack
I almost did it this morning…
I was totally still for almost an hour and waves of tickling discomfort were radiating from my right knee throughout my whole body with a few seconds interval, and I got more numb each time. I started seeing things, imagining very vividly, but the tickling feeling got so strong that my leg started twitching and I couldn’t resist moving.
I’m gonna try again tomorrow 
I can’t believe this topic has been dead for so long! I found it searching for WIlD info, and it’s such a good idea! There’s no recent threads I see about this and it seems very helpful. I’m going to try it and post my results. Maybe now some ppl will see this thread and it might be of use.
Yes, but making a old thread reappear without adding any useful information is considered as bumping. Please read the guidelines. 
Anyhow, I’ll let you off this time.
I guess I’ll try it. But maybe there’s a reason that the thread died and never returned…Oh well, I’ll find out myself.
Hey, that’s some very interesting and potentially useful information in the first post. I’m definitely going to try this method. Thanks for bumping this thread, Lark.
I think you mean spamming. Bumping is bumping useful replies or not 
/me would like to add that he feels this topic (or at least the first post within it) maybe worth being salvaged and reorganised by the librarians and added to the Lucid Library.
this thread should be stickied! im so going to try this tonight… i hope i can, since i have been trying WILD the past few days since i havent had much sleep i easily fall asleep… but the thing is i simply just fall asleep the normal way… i dont even get to stage 1…
This post seems helpful, I remember the last time I tried WILD I stopped due to a horrible pain in my neck after 30 mins. I do think that you cannot fall asleep with an active mind however, the only successful WILD I had occured through minimal activity in my head. Ill try though it looks very intersting.
Has anyone tried this while there was noise in the backround (like a radio or TV)? Maybe if it is low enough, you will be able to fall asleep while it helps your mind stay awake long enough to get to the part where you feel uncomfortable… 
Uhhh.
Y’know. In hospitals when people can’t turn over… they have people to turn then over. Why? so they don’t cut off the circulation to certain areas and thus get bedsores.
But hey, if bedsores give you lucid dreams…
Ha, I remember this thread and thought it was bogus. Here’s why: when attempting WILD and I feel the need to shift positions, I just do it. When you relieve this body stress and become more comfortable, there is an immediate increase in body relaxation. That’s what you want: a relaxed body and relatively alert mind, just alert enough to catch the transition.
Plus, the guy’s assertion “and for survival reasons would be dangerous for the body to go to sleep before the mind has.”
Actually I would think the other way around would be more dangerous. As in your brain falls asleep, but your body decides “what a lovely evening, should I take a stroll over by that cliff or over by the lions?”
Someone mentioned it was useful information, “look at all those links”. Hey, they all go to the same site.
I think the fact that he posted 3 times discredits him enough.
That’s you. Doesn’t mean others are the same. I stay in one possition that I find my self comfortable in.
No matter how close I am to sleep, moving wakens me completely. (unless I am asleep) But the conscious effort of moving will undo any relaxation I had going on.
I don’t know about you, but my body is ruled by my brain so I doubt it’s going to think much of anything on it’s own.
You’ve been here 3yrs and don’t have 100posts yet. That one works both ways.
Like [Darkness Myth] here said, many people, including me, stay still when relaxing. Conscious moving always wakes me up completely.
The feel to need to change position is irritating and does not help relaxing, no, but it passes away quite quickly. At least for me.
