Hey guys. I've been a member on DV since 2009, and since then I have had close to 200 lucid dreams...not one of them being a WILD. I don't know why, but I have never had any luck with it. I'm gonna detail my average WILD attempt,and maybe someone can catch what I'm doing wrong and give advice!

So normally I either do it during a nap, or after I wake up about 5 hours after sleep. I'll go to the bathroom, check my phone and e-mail, stay up for about 10 minutes, then start.

1. I lie on my back, and stay perfectly still. What I focus on varies, sometimes I focus on my breathing, other times I count down, visualize myself climbing stairs, running, or in a dream scenario.

2. After a couple minutes, my body will start to get numb, and my arms and legs will progressively be harder to move. Eventually I will have complete numbness, and it will seem very hard to move, although I can if I try.

3. After this, probably at around 10-20 minutes, a number of things could happen. I might feel like I am floating on waves, or in the air. I might suddenly feel like I fell into my bed, slipped in my bed, or like there was an earthquake. I might feel like my body is moving in some weird way that's hard to describe. I may start to see dim lights, or patterns. Sometimes my heart rate will escalate or I will feel intense vibrations.

After this happens, I normally think that I am in sleep paralysis.

This is always the farthest I get. I always feel like I am super close to entering the dream, but I never do. After all that happens, It just slowly calms down, and I go back to laying there with just a numb feeling. Its like a roller coaster. I go up up up, experience the intense feelings or hallucinations ( go down) and then its over, no dream.

So yeah. I'm really frustrated with never being able to have a WILD. I've probably done all the techniques in the book, DILD, MILD, DEILD, EILD, but no WILD. So if anyone has any advice, that would be great.

Thanks!
