Thread: How close am I to WILD?

So... I've had many DILDs, but never one WILD... I really haven't tried too much, but recently while trying I've had some results. After sleeping for about 6 hours, I woke up, sat there for a few minutes, repositioned myself, and lay perfectly still on my back with my arms at my sides. I focused on my breathing and began counting and saying "1, I'm dreaming. 2, I'm dreaming......." in my mind. After maybe 10-15 minutes, my body began to feel heavy. Eventually my arms began to feel all tingly and such. They then went completely limp, and when this happened I thought "Must be getting close, my arms are in SP". I felt weird vibrations and my heart rate sped up dramatically, and then just as suddenly as it began, it all stopped. At this point I lost all encouragement, and rolled over.... Was I close/what did I do wrong? Thanks.

You probably got excited or suprised when your heart rate went up/vibrations started, and getting excited can knock you out of sleep paralysis (thereby ending the WILD attempt). Now that you're expecting it, try not to get excited.

happens to me all the time. i havent had a successful WILD yet, (one came close enough to where i count it though) but when i come close, my heart rate increases dramatically and i start breathing abnormally and fall out of it

I have the same problem. I usually get it till my heart rate goes up, thing is, I tell myself I am not excited, and to to be excited. I slow my breathing and do EVERYTHING I can to slow down the heart rate, but it always ends the WILD for me... why is that?
