Okay I have tried to be lucid for months now using WILD and MILD but,I don’t know if im heading in the right direction.
1.My body becomes numb,Yet movable
2.My body moves uncontrollably until I find a good postion
3.I hear weird nosies,sometimes sound like a monster chewing on someone and then growls.
4.My eyes start twitching.
Mostly I think these should happen but I have never ever seen Hypnogogic Imagery and I wanna know if that HAS to happen.
Excuse my English.
When I WILD, I never get HI, therefore, no.
Those symptoms you listed above sure sound like symptoms of being half-way through a WILD. Perhaps you should try to WBTB with it.
what about those who can’t do WBTB? the time i fall asleep is usualy unpredictable, and even if i set my alarm, most of the time i sleep through it (it’s a wonder i manage to get up in the morning…). whithout being able to control when i fall asleep/get up, i can never succesfully try WBTB. also, why is it that whenever someone tries to get info on wild, how come all anyone says is “try WBTB”? thats how itseems to me…
Hi Salmon1420! 
As for me, I find this normal when WILD’ing.
It’s a relaxation problem. Try to relax deeper.
That’s a good thing. It means you have auditory HH then you’re very close to a LD.
Many WILD’ers say they have this. Don’t worry about this and try to keep up focusing on your practice.
It has not to happen. Some people have visual HH, some people have strange body feelings, some people have auditory HH. You have auditory HH, hence it means that you reached the hypnagogic state. So yes, you’re heading in the right direction.
Because WILD with WBTB is far easier, especially for beginners who can discourage by trying WILD when just going to bed. And as WILD is a very personal experience and you have to find by yourself you own way of entering a dream consciously and thus the method cannot be clearly explained, the better way of discovering it is getting a successful experience.
#3 is good…auditory hallucinations.
i had my first WILD like, 2 days ago after 2 years of trying…
funnily enough it was when i stopped trying to be aware about the state i was in. i hadn’t slept in over 24 hours and had so much coffee running thru my system that i was highly agitated and passed out and i started to hear those charactaristically really wierd audio hallucinations, but i was that tired i thought"oh you are kidding. get real, i am going to sleep." rather than going ‘heheh funny sounds!’ (which then made me aware and i woke up out of it)
i think also think perhaps mild and wild together might actually oppose each other in terms of effects (at least for me) but i have to do more research.
my advice would be, maybe for a few nights, if you get those audio hallucinations quite often, then perhaps try ignoring them and see if that works.
