Last night I tried WBTB/MILD, but it ended up becoming WBTB/WILD. I had my first successful WILD!
Now, I ‘suffer’ from a sort of random, involuntary WILDing, when I go to bed too late or lay awake a long time… however these are pretty powerful and most of the time the SP scares me, it hurts, and I can never get through the pressure because I wake up gasping for air. This time, however, since I was using WBTB, I was physically already relaxed… and when I felt the pressure of SP and the noise and then the HI, even though it hurt, I was tired enough to let it go.
I think that was the key. Usually, I try to fight it, or stay with it. But you’re just supposed to let go. And then I remember that one moment I still felt the pressure and the noise, and next thing I knew I was standing in my bedroom, and I realisef I was in the middle of a dream. The room was dark, but not so dark I couldn’t see my surroundings, and everything looked exactly like it normally did. The whole time, counting from the moment I went back to bed, fell asleep, got a WILD and a short LD, lasted about 30 minutes. So I’d guess that with WBTB, a WILD can be attained in 20 to an hour, depending on how fast you fall asleep…
So, I don’t know if what works for me works for others, but trying WILD in combination with WBTB might be a very good call. I’ve never been succesfull at WILDing from the moment I first go to sleep, because I can’t relax enough. Or I relax too much, it takes too long, can’t focus, and I fall asleep. Then again maybe it was discovered a long time ago WILD works better with WBTB, but I never heard of it…
I think the key is to be already physically tired/relaxed enough that you fall asleep very fast, so that you’re able to stay focused and conscious whilst it doesn’t take to long to get SP, HI, and such.
I don’t know what these vibrations are. I’ve never had them. And I’ve been having involuntary WILDs for a long time (just never knew what they were, or how to control them.)
