Issue achieving FULL Dream Paralysis

**bricksorcerer** · 07-09-2012 11:17 PM

I leared about LD's a few days ago and have since been obsessed. Mostly, I have used WILD, but also have tried CANWILD and FILD. I have been trying to do WILD mostly throughout the day (I know, I'll try it at night too) and am fairly close to entering a LD.

My Current Process:
1) Lie in bed and relax, "observing" random thoughts
2) Listen to Isochronic tones (youtube.com/watch?v=GwhXeXur1fY&feature=plcp) while relaxing (using iPod in-ear phones)
3) Not move at all and keep eyes from moving
4) Wait for body to start becoming numb
5) Imagine the scenery of the dream using lucidcrossroads.net

This is as far as I have gotten. During step 5 I start to drift into a dream (I think this is a deeper state of hypnagogic state) involving a random thought. I try to redirect it to be my desired dream, but then I "wake up" slightly and leave the "deeper state".
I just can't reach full dream paralysis and don't know how to solve this issue. I am open to new techniques, so fire away!
Thanks in advance!

Ok, WILD is best done after 6(ish) hours of sleep.
I always let my eyes move (if thats what they want to do) because REM is rapid eye movement and they do so in this sleep stage.
It's very early, so I would say don't give up, keep trying and read some of the helpful into on this site.

Ok, thanks for the tips! I'll try that tonight and post results tomorrow morning!

Also, I was wondering, after sleeping for around 6 hours, do you get up for an hour or so and then do WILD, or do you just awake and then immediately do WILD?

you can stay awake up to 45 min. i usually don't wait that long. because there will be problem for me to fall asleep again.i just go to kitchen , have a drink or something
