I woke up at 8:50 AM, and then proceeded to use the bathroom, and then go back to bed and attempt a WILD. When I tried, eventually I would get a heavy vibrating feeling, not quite sleep paralysis(I’ve had WILDs before) but more like a prelude to it. But when it got to that part, the vibrations would cease and I would try it again. Eventually after several failed attempts I gave up. What exactly was I doing wrong? Did I wake up too late? I was perfectly still during the process, trying to let my mind wonder, but It seems like I just couldn’t perform it. Any suggestions?
Maybe you weren’t tired enough to go to sleep. Try doing it earlier in the morning.
That’s exactly my thoughts about it.
I think the vibrations part is actually astral projection stuff but not sure.
Usually vibrations and humming are signs of an astral projection. Some people say they might experience it as a prelude to SP, or at least it feels that way, but I’ve never known this to happen, so I couldn’t say.
If you want to try it when you get up (aka early in the morning, any time past 5am), I would suggest trying your WILD technique with DEILD, this helps plenty of people fall back asleep more easily than actually “waking up” and falling back asleep.
