SP ended, I was still awake...

**Alvas** · 02-03-2011 04:53 PM

I tried my first WILD last night It went something like this:
Went to bed normally around 10:30 and set my alarm to wake me up at 3:30am. When I woke up and turned the alarm off I got some sips of water and went to the bathroom. I came back reset my alarm for 10:30am and lied down on the floor cuz I heard that it helps reach SP faster once you actually get in bed. I didn't lie down for long maybe a few minutes, then I got into bed and got comfortable and waited for SP. It hit me and all the common things came with it, vibrations and rapid heartbeat. I had a slight hallucination as well: the darkness under my eyelids changed from black to grey. Slowly the paralysis faded and I was sure it was over, did 3 different reality checks while I was still in bed and they all passed, I was awake.

So... What went wrong?

When you hit SP try to imagine yourself raising up from the bed, that works for me.
But you did pretty good for your frist attempt, most people need much practice.

Ha thanks

Will that help me fall asleep or something?

That was how i entered the dream. I raised up with my dream body and started my lucid dream.

Okay, I'll give it a shot.

Okay, that was a complete failure, It's happened twice now I will try again tonight. Maybe I will visualize myself falling through the mattress? I need help...

Happens to me too, but Im holding off on WILD's for a bit. Raduga's book says to get good with indirect techniques first, DILDS/MILDS etc before attempting to force yourself into a WILD. So I am going to just take it slow. Best I can tell ya.

Thanks that's probably a good idea but I have little success with other methods

Yea you can imagine falling through your bed. Or you can just start visualizing a place with great detail and it will form in front of you. That's what I have done and has worked great.
