Quest for Lucidity

At the moment im having a bit of trouble with WILD method. Last night I felt i was on my way there as i started HI :content: but unfortunately a mosquito started to buzz near me and started biting me :grrr: …so i had to get up and kill it …then my dog started howling b/c it wanted to come in side :bored: :cry: … arrggghhhh…

this is just a topic where you can share these frustrations and let some steam off your back and tell some stories about annoying things that has happened to you whilst attempting WILD

Ah, I don’t think anything like that has happened to me. Just stuff like forgetting where my leg is. It used to be really hard for me not to move it, just to make sure its still there. That and another time I had this irrisistable urge to turn over. I couldn’t stop, and then as I rolled over, I lost about 30 minutes of progress. I’ve been trying WILD for about 2 months now…still haven’t gotten it to work… But I’ve sure gotten better at doing it!

Thats gotta piss you off… I have trouble with that as well…mostly icthing and being in uncomfortable positions >:| . I am definately getting better at it but still need practice

One problem I have (besides falling asleep, ugh) is wanting to open my eyes. I also sometimes get bored when I’m counting and I’m not tired enough. Also, sometimes it gets itchy, and sleeping on my back sometimes makes me snore and wakes me up…

But the first time I tried to WILD while knowing what it was, something crashed outside my window and started making a squeaking noise. I thought I might have been dreaming and gotten a WILDing sound… but it really was real life. It stayed there for like 10 minutes while I looked for a flashlight so I could go outside and check it out. I think maybe a bat or something got caught in the ropes for the swing next to my window.

my worst thing is either

a) the irrisistable urge to roll over
b) my nose, for some reason at night, one side is ALWAYS “plugged up” so to fix it i have to roll over
c) itches
d)opening my eyes randomly

yupp i have a tough time WILDing.

Often, I can open my eyes and the HI will continue when I close them, so that’s not a problem. Mostly, I get itches, uncomfortable positions, and the feeling that one of my appendages has randomly dropped off the face of the earth… :eh:

ugh…why is it every time something uncommon happens when trying WILD … and by the time you get up you become hypo and arggghhh.

They seem to be the only thing that piss you off royally.

:smile: …i think that covers all the worst things

You forgot the ricer cars with the fart can driving down your street at 2 am. :grrr:

My dad barking that he wants something just as I’m at the step-off point. ><;

I can deal with all the freaky things that can happen when I do WILD like the SP, Sudden flashes HI (that can wake me up),feeling like I cant breath etc. The hole WILD experience is very cool to me. Even the scary stuff. What really gets under my skin are the little things like:

  1. some part of my body will itch(usually my nose)
  2. feel thirsty
  3. feel like I need to go to the bathroom
  4. no mater how comfortable I was when I started I will suddenly feel uncomfortable and think about moving (or worse actually move).

These things will drive even the most experienced WILD’er crazy! Everyone knows that the way to deal with this is to let go of more of your consciousness and go deeper which will make these things go away. Despite knowing that, there are still days when I will scratch that itch, get a drink, or make my way all the way into the bathroom only to find out that I don’t have to go.

My sister’s cat kept trying to take a crap next to my bed… :panic:

12

mmm it’s kind of comforting to read these as I can relate to most of them :content: … I do hate that urge to roll over … its just so … tempting :peek:

13

Actually, after being in one position for a while, when I roll over it has a relaxing effect on me, and a couple of times I think that helped me to WILD.
My problem is I’ll think some hypnogogic sound is real, so I’ll wake up to see what the hell is going on!

That happened to me when i was trying to fall asleep for my nap this afternoon! I had locked my door before heading to my bed, and while I was trying to fall asleep I thought I heard my doorknob turning, so I got up, which only wasted my time. I wasn’t trying to WILD, though, because I read that it is better for people who fall asleep fast, and it can take me a long time to fall asleep sometimes.:ohno:

the worst thing i find is when you need to go to sleep and start yawning and be like ok i can go to bed and try some WILD :content: …then when i get to bed i cant get to sleep :grrr: and i spend about 20 minutes trying to get to sleep…and of course i get excited about the fact im trying WILD which goes away and when it does i think about it again and get excited…such a viciuos cycle
