First Steps to WILD part III (Basic WILD Q&A)

[moogle (mognet)]

princerocker … since you go to sleep so fast WILD is definitely the method for you.
The problem may be that you are focusing too much … you have to casually observe them.

may be try something slightly different … if you are good at visualising something maybe visualising your own object while doing WILD or even doing VILD may work better.

The point is to keep your mind focused on an image or pattern to retain consciousness while your body is falling asleep. As you pointed out with the banana, the image will probably change or enhance as your imagination becomes more powerful. As long as you don’t lose concentration, sooner or later the image will turn into a complete scene, and the dream will take over. I like to pretend it’s easier than most people will tell you - keeps my confidence up. wink

I used a book because it allowed me to see when I was getting close. The content on each page would begin to change randomly, and I found it easier to stay conscious by actively reading the text rather than simply observing an object or scene passively.

This is exactly the same as the ‘flower’ chakra method (I believe), which involves picturing a flower growing from one of your chakra points, or something to that effect. The idea is simply that you have something to focus on to shift your attention form the real world to your imagination.

I suppose the key point is actively retaining your concentration for the duration of the experience.
