BillyBob101's WILD Method Experience:

I went to bed @ 9:30PM, and awoke at exactly 2:00AM. I thought it'd be a great time to try the newly discovered method for WILD. After awakening my mind for 5-10 minutes, I went back to bed and got myself comfortable. I was lying on my back with my arms at my sides as I started to count my breaths. With each inhalation, I counted up one more number. With each exhalation, I said to myself, "I'm dreaming." I also tried visualizing the number I was on, and the words: I'm dreaming.

After around 250 repetitions, I experienced sleep paralysis. My body's method to paralyze my body was not harsh at all, the feelings of my body just seemed to intensify tenfold. I felt everything being intensified, and noticed that I also felt extremely heavy. It was quite a fun ride, indeed. I kept my eyes closed, and kept counting... I knew that I'd soon be in a lucid-dream. I made my way all the way up to seven or eight-hundred repetitions, and started seeing increasingly vivid colors.

I thought that I was for sure ready to "open my dream eyes" and walk around in the dream-world. So, I opened my eyes, but it turned out that I opened my real eyes.

I shook my body out of sleep paralysis and felt refreshed like I would if I'd gotten a normal night of sleep.

I have a few questions for anyone who's experienced with WILD, so that maybe I can progress a little further next time:

1. Will I be able to control my breathing even in sleep paralysis? I thought, at least, that I was controlling my breath last night.

2. Will my external senses be dulled or suppressed gradually during the WILD process? For example, when I was around 500 counts, I still noticed my brother turning and tossing in his bed.

3. Will I have to force my "dream eyes" to open when I want to enter the dream-world, or will I just find myself in the dream?

4. How far did I make it?!


Thanks for this tutorial BillyBob-- it's the farthest I've ever made it with WILD.
