problems with WILD

Quest for Lucidity

Hello!

I’ve been trying to WILD for quite sometime. I feel that im getting very close, my feeling of the body gets dimmer. But here is a problem, everytime i reach this state i get erection. It’s impossible to control, it breaks my focus and i can’t continue any further, it’s really frustrating! :sad:

Another problem (though doesn’t not happen as frequent anymore) that i sometimes get is that i suddenly fall asleep while conscious and i can’t feel that im breathing anymore and i panic for air. When i was practicing WILD almost every night (though at this time i was aming for OOBEs heh) this used to happend every night whether or not i was trying to WILD.

I’ve had 3 LDs so far, all where i realized that i was dreaming inside the dream induced through RCs. But i feel that WILD would be pretty easy if i just could get over the barriers somehow.

I just don’t know what i should do…

uhh…I dont know really, maybe you should keep trying, if the erection happens everytime just try to ignore it. Most people has problems with WILD, just try again, and again…

Hey,

I read somewhere on the forum that men always get an erection before entering any kind of sleep or REM or something.

If that’s true, then it’s normal and not going to go away.

Happens during REM yes, but when you WILD in the evening you dont enter REM right away. But i’d say, just ignore it. By focussing on it and getting frustrated, you will never be able to get passed it. And about breathing, just dont panic. It is automated and even if we arent aware of it, it continues. Good luck!
