but here is my problem, I’m nervous to do it, or scared, or something. but I don’t want to be nervous of it. please read then give me some advice… here is my experiece when WILDing(when i choose to do it):
I lay down in bed. I get comfortable, then I don’t move a single muscle while I perform the WILD (I don’t even move a finger or toe). I tell my mind to remain conscious while my body falls asleep, all while imagining a place. When the WILD begins to work, my body feels numb, and every once in a while my body gets that excited feeling in my lower stomach (like falling). My body feels heavy, like a really heavy blanket is being dragged up my body from my feet to my neck. Here is the part that makes me nervous to WILD… I then begin to hear a very loud buzzing in my ears and feel as if my eyes are being electrocuted. I have remained calm during this before and proceeded to let whatever was happening just “take me.”
one time after that whole process happened I sat up in my bed, (thinking that I woke up, but I didn’t) and walked around my apartment doing random things and not realizing that I had never actually woken up. It was crazy because the way that it felt was indescribable. You know when people say “hey I had a dream last night, and something happened, and it felt so ‘real’?” Well this feeling of the dream being real was so far beyond that. I don’t know how else to describe it. However, another time I successfully WILDed, I had the same feeling except I knew that I was in the dream world, but I couldn’t talk, and it felt hard to breath. I was trying to get up on my feet and walk but all i could do was roll around on the floor while unsuccessfully trying to get up.
The buzzing and feeling of my eyes being electrocuted makes me feel nervous I don’t know why. when I am dreaming normally I sometimes realize I am dreaming and I can do pretty much whatever I want (fly places usually), but when I WILD, there are a lot of times when I have no control over my body. I tried rubbing my hands together in the WILD but that didn’t stabilize me, I couldn’t try the spinning thing because I couldn’t even stand in my dream. I need to get to a point where I am not nervous in my WILD attempt, and then I need to get to a point where I can control what I do in my WILD like I can when I have a regular lucid dream. I want to learn this control over my WILD because the lucid dreams from WILDs are so much more intense and real than when I just realize i’m dreaming while i’m dreaming.
any advice?
