Can't concentrate on WILD

Hi Heleli.

Optimistic Answer

[spoiler]Succeeding in WILD during bedtime is really hard. Therefore if you feel limb pain you are actually in the right path there. If you manage to resist that pain you may be able to successfully WILD in bedtime… It could take more than one hour.

I can provide more information on the phases you need to get past in order to WILD during bedtime if you are really encouraged to try it despite all odds.

Therefore I really recommend you to use it along with WBTB, get another alarm or another effective way to wake up.[/spoiler]

Realistic Answer

[spoiler]Maybe you should be trying another technique instead of WILD. WILD is hardly recommended to beginners. I don’t know if you are a beginner, if you are, please consider these techniques as well:

We always like to recommend MILD, VILD and WBTB under these circumstances.

Short Read:
VILD is mostly about imagining the dream setting you would get lucid. Usually by creating a context you would RC.

MILD is about repeating phrases that you want to stick to your mind, so you would probably recall it during the dream, possibly to RC or to be motivated enough.

WBTB is about waking up and getting back to back. Some people fall asleep faster when getting back to bed in the middle of sleep, which helps you to get into a dream much easier than initial bedtime.

Also, the techniques are not 100% fool proof. You cannot expect them to work at first attempt, sorry, but it’s true. You should insist on them.
