Well I have been attempting to WILD over the last two nights and struggling to make the final transition into my dream. I have no problems waking up in REM stages of my own accord. I normally go to sleep at 11:30 or so and then wake up at 5:30 without the aid of an alarm. I manage to stay completely still with my eyes shut very relaxed. Then the vibrations start and my body feels as though all the muscles are dead. Then the corners of my mouth feel as though they are turning down (don't know whether that is important).

The next stage is where I get stuck, so far I think I am doing it right. I attempt to visualise myself somewhere that I am familar with and enter the dream. But I can't, I have tried visualising myself rolling out of bed and into the dream but with no success. Shortly after, the vibrations die away. I normally get 3 good attempts with the vibrations before I can no longer do it. Then if I go back to sleep I can sometimes get another attempt when I wake up again but others I am too alert for it. I don't have very good dream recall, so I don't know whether I am waking up out of a dream when I try to WILD.

I have only been using this WILD technique for 2 nights though so it may be that I am getting the hang of it slowly. Anyway I thought I would check, because I couldn't find a clear answer to this question from any of the other posts here. I'm sure that others could benefit from an answer to this as well as a number of people seem to have a similar problem.

Thanks anyway.
