Thread: Having trouble "letting go"?

It's impossible to be in sleep paralysis for 30-60 minutes. As soon as you reach sleep paralysis, you'll transition into a dream within 10 seconds (if you're able to stay calm and forget about your body), or the paralysis will disappear just as quick (if you get too excited/anxious). So, it's not sleep paralysis you're experiencing. Sleep paralysis feels completely different than the numbness and tingling you'll experience while falling asleep.

Are you trying to WILD at the beginning of the night? Usually it takes about 90 minutes to enter REM sleep at that time, and it's only in REM the sleep paralysis happen. It's so much easier to WILD in the mornings after 4-6 hours of sleep, and when taking a nap.

If you decide to give up and just go to sleep when trying to WILD, then you're too aware. A failed WILD attempt should rather be that your consciousness also falls asleep, because you should only keep a slight amount of awareness.

I can't really help you with your other problem you described. Maybe you should take a small break from WILDing, so that you get used to fall asleep normally again?
