Thread: WILD Attempts

So I have been trying to WILD for a few nights. I will count my breaths and get between 200-400 taking up to 45 minutes all together. I feel relaxed during the whole wild process. I have slept at least 4 hours before the attempt.

Am I going in the right direction? Please help me out DV1 Thx

Yeah, I'd say you're doing pretty well.

My only suggestion would be to attempt 5-6 hours after you've fallen asleep, as you'll be awakening during one of the final REM cycles. Since they get longer and deeper as the night goes on, if you get lucid then you're dream will most likely be lengthier.

How have your recent attempts gone?

well, the other night I was in this weird sleeping position and it eventually was causing me so much pain that I opened my eyes changed positions and went to sleep.

Now if im counting my breaths long enough to last 45 minutes how much longer do you think it would take me to fall into an LD?

It's different for everyone unfortunately. Some people are able to enter into sleep paralysis in five minutes.

For me it takes about 30-50 minutes to achieve SP, and then a couple of more minutes it seems to become lucid. That's why I don't attempt WILDs during the day, I'm not tired enough and I usually end up frustrated when it takes over an hour.

Ok thank you!
