But just a question for you if you're up for it, just to see if you may know...

One thing that I've noticed over the past few days of WILDing when I can is that my muscles tend to start to feel numb, to the point where I can't even tell that they're there. I'm guessing this is the first stage to Sleep paralysis (correct me if I'm wrong please), but one thing that I notice is that every once in a while, my body will do a slight jerk to one of my muscles. I.e. My foot gets numb, a minute later it jerks slightly to the right and the numbness in both my feet, and often my entire body goes away. Is this normal, and is there any way to stop it, or a point at all?

Thanks again for responding!

I can see you're having progress with WILDing

Though I don't know if the numbing of the body is a part of the stages of SP, one thing's clear: it means that you're at the right track. You are kinda starting to get "disconnected" from your body when you're getting numb. Now regarding about the jerking of muscles, it's called muscle spasms(google it for more info). It's a natural motion of the body, so you don't need to get alarmed about it.

Hope this helps

Okay, thanks for the help. Hoping I can perform a successful WILD within the next few weeks before school starts, since I currently have an advantage of being able to attempt a WILD every night so I can have a good head start, so wish me luck.
Thanks again for all the help, it's much appreciated!

Good luck

When you say after seeing through your eyelids and stand up from your resting place . Do you mean that I should actually stand up ? Will tha tmove my real-life body ?

Put it this way - if you're seeing through your eyelids, it isn't your real-life body you're in, is it? It's your dream body. Unless you have transparent eyelids?

But I make the effort to get up or do I think of getting up

bumpity bump bump

Ey there, need some help?

This looks really promising, I'll try it! Also, last night when I was falling asleep I "saw" through my eyelids. It was cool, but if I only would have stood up I would have been lucid.

I'm going to try this tonight. I really hope that it works, since I still haven't had my first LD.

Good luck on your attempt my friend. Just have patience and confidence on yourself.

Just have patience and confidence on yourself when trying this method my friend and I'm sure you'll have your first LD. If it didn't turned out as expected on your first try or attempt, don't be turned off. To some people, it takes 2 weeks to have their 1st LD, including I. Always remember that you are not alone. Reply back if you have questions

Yeah... No luck last night. I fell asleep somewhere in the middle of the "reverse blinking" stage. Do you have any tips for me? Was I not thinking hard enough to remain conscious?

im definitely trying this this weekend, reverse blinking sounds like a good idea, and the moving every 7-10 minutes should help me relize when im in SP
edit: definately? derp

I suggest you focus your mind onto some external sound in order for you to retain your consciousness, Like the ticking of the clock or the passing of nearby cars. It would also be great if you'd count 1-100 in your mind or repeatedly recite in your mind "I'm having a lucid dream". Good luck on your next attempt and hope this helps

P.S.
I recommend you Wake Back to Bed(WBTB) before WILDing

Okay so I tried this technique for 3 nights now. The first two attempts were the exact same. I would shake then I would see HI but I wouldn't progress any farther. In fact it would take me to just laying still again. Both of those two attempts were when I woke up at 4:30. Last night I tried and I woke up at 4:00 (I'm trying to find my REM time because that's what I think went wrong in the first two attempts). There was nothing. All I saw were some colors but I didn't get any vibrations. This leads me to believe my REM time is around 5:00, so tonight I'll try it at 5:00. I'll post my results tomorrow!

Good luck in your next attempt

I'll be trying this again tonight, so wish me luck everyone! *crosses fingers and hopes to dream*

Ok everyone. So I tried this last night at 5:00am. I saw HI and felt very little vibrations. After around an hour I gave up due to the fact that I needed to wake up in 30 minutes. Anyways, It seems that I have been closest to having a WILD when waking up at 4:30am. The thing that was weird was that I did have a dream after I failed my 5:00am WILD attempt. I am wondering if 5:30 would in fact be better than 5:00. I normally go to bed at around 10:00pm. I'll post my results tomorrow! I might go to bed at 11:00pm tonight, so I may be doing this at 6:30.

A side note: My HI in my 5:00am attempt was a lot more than at my 4:30 attempt.

I'm so stupid... I wake up for WBTB, go to the bathroom, get back in bed, and go to sleep. I completely forgot about WILDing. *facepalm*

Don't worry about it we all do it sometimes.

That also happens to me. Sometimes, I wake up, stares outside the window, then returns to sleep. It helps to put a note besides you to remind you that you're supposed to WILD

I make a rule to always switch my bedside lamp on the second I switch the alarm off, otherwise I zonk out into unconscious sleep.

Ok everyone I have quite good results from last night. I fell asleep around 11:00pm, so my alarm was set for 5:30am. I did the WILD and it entered me into a non-lucid dream so that failed. However, the next dream that started I realized I was WILDing and I immediely became lucid. The dream was falling apart, but I able to hold it for around 5 minutes (I also ate food in a dream which was one of my goals). When that dream blacked out I did a DEILD and entered another one that was also really crappy. I think it was due to it being 7 1/2 hours after falling asleep. Anyways, I call this somewhat of a success even though my conscious skipped over my longest REM period.

Uhhh what happens if you enter sp during the reverse blinking phase? I was in the wrong position D: thats what happened to me
