What did I do wrong?

[mini0991]

So, again, I tried to WILD in the afternoon after eating. I figured I would be rested enough to try it. I basically lied there for an hour awake with my eyes shut. It's difficult to describe how; maybe I meditated. I don't remember what happened but I couldn't have fell asleep because I got up rested and didn't feel like I slept at all. Everytime I try to do this I never get to vibrations or anything. What am I doing wrong?

First of all I think you should try a WILD when you're tired and not "rested enough". To dream you must sleep, to sleep you must fall asleep and to have a WILD you must be aware when you fall asleep. It's also very important what's going through your mind when you're attempting a WILD. In fact, you shouldn't be thinking in words at all, like: "Why isn't anything happening?" "What am I doing wrong?" and so on. It's important that you're using a WILD technique that you feel very comfortable with, using a technique that doesn't suit you could be problematic. I've never had a WILD, as I'm practicing myself, but I actually know that thoughts kicks me right out of it when I'm almost falling asleep. I've been close a few times by just letting go of every thought I have and let the HI come along. Just recently I found myself watching my cell phone in a very vivid HI and I thought "Hey, that's pretty interesting, I know that's not even my real cell phone" and just that kicked me right out of it. I really hope that you're looking at your WILD attempts in a positive manner and seeing every little step closer as a success. I hope I've managed to give you at least some advice you've not already heard of. Best regards, DreamerRoss
