Thread: ParadigmShift WILD method

For some reason I don't get the Sliding across bed concept, what do you mean by that? >_<

Yea.. I think the most important thing is to feel some kind of movement that can become fluid and automatic. I tried a few times last night, and feeling like my body was flipping in backward summersaults seemed to get me the closest..

you know that's odd because last night I actually ended up doing the same thing, i got the sensation of flipping backwards so that I was doing a headstand up against the wall. The problem was I got scared of "waking" in my dream. drat

i_speel_good OK here's the best way I can describe it: if you were to go to bed right now, laying on top of all your sheets with eyes shut, and asked a friend to pull those sheets so that they drag you across your bed, that's what it should feel like. It's just a sensation of movement, not a visual thing for me.

well anyway it does look like some people had success with it, but it was nothing revolutionary as I had expected it to be. I guess I just picked it up so quickly probably because I've been LDing for a long time now.

But wouldn't this method induce an OBE instead of a LD more often?

Yea.. could you perhaps add some more detail to your method Paradigmshift?

I get up and go to the toilet when I do wbtb, I will try to drink less water and just go back to sleep fast. I think this might have made me fail.

OK I'll go more into detail but I tried to keep it as general as I could so people could modify it to their personal patterns.

1. How hard to concentrate: see this diagram

2. Are you relaxed: of course.
3. Does it matter where your body is: I don't think it really makes a big difference.
4. Do you need to quickly WBTB: Yes, I personally do because I'm a very light sleeper. Depends for each person, you have to know your sleep patterns.

If you have a patient friend, here's how I taught it to my roommate:

He would WBTB. I would wait for him to fall back asleep. Then I would tap his forehead and he would give me a sign that he's back to consciousness (he would move his finger). I would wait for him to fall back asleep again. Then I would very lightly tug on some sheets that he was sleeping on top of, making sure not to wake him up. The small disturbance was enough to get him back to awareness, and reminded him of the technique, and eventually he got it.

That diagram actually is really helpful. I dont think I was allowing myself to move back toward sleep enough... And I love the idea of you doing that with your roomate! I hope they were very appreciative: Have they kept up with this method?
