What you need to remember when doing WILD:
- Sleep Paralysis is NOT a part of the induction process (Usually you won’t even notice it before you’re in a dream, so DON’T expect to either)
- You need to have woken up from a previous dream or just enough sleep to be infront of a REM stage.
- Counting is not necessary, it is just a trick to stay aware, but if it just keeps you awake then don’t do it. Try just repeating “I’m dreaming” or something, without the numbers. The important thing is to stay aware.
- Forget your body! Don’t think about any tingling or heavyness, pull your focus towards your third eye or whatever. Put it all to your Hypnogogic Imagery- Cos this is where the magic happens.
But WILD isn’t for everyone 
Myself I prefer MILD or DILD.
