      help, can't do it.. :(

      Whenever I try WILDing, it seems like nothing is happening or going to happen. I wake up about 4 hours after I go to sleep and stay awake for probably more than an hour and not go to sleep or feel those feelings that people say is right before the dream (Sleep paralysis?)

      I also sleep with my window open and focus on the crikets outside, since there is never any cars outside, i don't think it could be because of noise.

      Is there anything else I can try to help me get in an LD?

      Srry if its confusing, I just woke up like 3 hours before I usually do

      good call on the crickets is use those too.

      are you able to tell when you are about to fall asleep normally?

      A little bit, I can usually tell if I'm about to fall asleep soon or if it is going to take an hour.

      I had a Lucid last night with earplugs in and no sound.
      I used a rubber wrist band around my palm as an anchor only.

      and in regards to your thread heading remember "I think...therefore I am"
      REALITY CHECK

      well i waited till the last possible second when i was about to drop off into sleep, then i started counting every other breath until i lost count (which sadly was only 5) but when i lost count i started visualizing myself runnning out my back door and around to the front of my house but try to feel every footfall and weight shift as you turn corners

      Arg, I totally forgot about that, I shouldve put "haven't had an LD yet"

      Maybe I'll try something solid like what you did tonight, but for me it is VERY hard to go to sleep if I am even a tiny bit uncomfortable

      I'll try

      k, that was my first LD lol but it worked surprisingly well cause that was the first time i had tried that technique, sadly enough i didnt let SP go on long enough because i was only half lucid, i could sense my physical body as well as my dream body.

      how long have you been trying to LD. I think it might be because I've only been trying for 2 days...

      and just so you know, i didnt actually fall asleep, just try to get completely comfortable right off the bat and dont move, even if you feel a little buzz of uncomfortableness (im sure you know what im talking about cause im the same way) just dont move force yourself to stay still but dont tense up while doing it. you should go straight from being awake and thinking to basically feeling like you should open your eyes so you will and i was in my bed exactly like i had been but there was another one of my body in the bed next to me so i did an RC

      well i started keeping a dream journal for about 3 weeks a few months ago but lost interest, and ive just started keeping it again while trying to WILD cause im pretty sure i wont be able to realize im dreaming in the middle of one...my dreams just arent like that, so ive been trying for probably about a week or week and a half

      okay, that helps because I usually move alot, and i try my hardest not to but I really have to move, I guess I'll just try harder to not move...

      Edit- yeah, I think its just that I need more time to practice... I just remembered, I think I DID have an LD last night, I remember something weird going on in my room, but I was stupid and didnt rc... Ugh
