LD with WILD technique.

So, I haven’t had an LD yet but am working on it. I went to bed last night and decided to try the WILD method of inducing an LD. It was hard for me to do this method because I would be laying down and slowly counting to myself and tried to think about walking down stairs and I would star to visualize myself walking down stairs and then I would have a twitch and I would kick IRL and it would wake me up completely. This happened three times and finally I got frustrated and went to bed.

Was I even close to having an LD or was my imagination just going wild on me?

what you had sounds like a hypnagogic(spelling?) jerk. it happens when you’re about to fall asleep. i used to get them a lot but not so much anymore. i think it’s a reaction from the body because it thinks it’s falling or something, well that’s what i heard it was anyway.
i would try again for a few nights and if it keeps happening then you should probably try another method first and try WILD later.

bad news is cant really do anything about the twitches except for trying to relax completely.

it will stop with time, just keep going :smile:

yea the twitches eventually subside, for alot of ppl i kno it only happens one per session…

and like the man said, they eventually go away… so yea, just stick with it.
