Jeff777's Free-falling WILD technique











Step 1 - Free-fall



With this method, WBTB not required for entering Sleep Paralysis, but it's very helpful in entering into a WILD. Lie down in whatever comfortable position you want, and let your mind chatter or go over what it was doing that day. This is good. Most relaxation or SP induction exercises teach you to clear your mind and focus on something.. But doesn’t your mind usually trail off to something else? That’s because your brain has processed a lot of information that day and needs time to unwind, just as you, after a hard days work, need time to unwind and relax when you get home. Passive awareness of your thoughts at this stage is key for moving into the next stage.



Step 2 - Chaos theory



Once you start noticing illogical images and patterns (only the illogical ones signals the cue to move on!) making its way into your mind, then you’re ready to move to step three because at THIS point, your body is going to sleep and the part of your mind that deals with logic and reasoning along with it. Any sudden thought that, with conscious logic and alert reasoning, does not make sense is considered an "illogical thought"; and for understanding purposes, the term chaos refers to illogical images and random thought patterns. If you’d like to speed up the free-fall into chaos process .. try free-falling "with a weighted jacket on". You can do this by creating illogical images and thoughts yourself . This essentially speeds up the shut-down process. After 5 - 10 minutes of doing this, you should have effectively triggered the neocortex/frontal lobe to begin hibernating, thereby tricking it into creating illogical thoughts and images now on its own accord, without your assistance anymore. I only recommend speeding up the process if you're good at passively observing your thoughts and have no problems catching yourself before you fall too far.



• Sometimes these thoughts will shift in quickly when you’re relaxing. When the first one hits my mind, I like to mentally recognize it and sit in a little chair and watch where else my mind continues to go until I think its time to stop free-falling into chaos and begin the next step.



• I call this the free-fall relaxation technique because unlike most tutorials that want people to creep into the SP process, I encourage one to free-fall to great depths but to catch oneself before hitting the ground (unconscious sleep), by using all 5 steps. The steps used in this method cut my learning curve down and allowed me to enter into WILD's more quickly because I'm able to enter SP more quickly. If you’re sufficiently relaxed and you’ve passively noticed your thoughts becoming illogical (free-falling into chaos), you're ready to pull that rip-cord and move on.



• If you feel as if you haven’t let yourself fall far enough.. resume the free-fall technique until you’re deep enough to move on. Passive awareness IS KEY.



Step 3 - Readjustment



If you weren't lying on your back already, then the next step is to lie on your back. Some sleep studies suggest paralysis is easier to attain when lying on ones back. If you find it difficult to stay in this position comfortably because you are accustomed to sleeping on your side - tilt your head sideways on your pillow. That should offer some balance.



Step 4 - Deep Breaths



What you want to do next is elongate your breathing. You want to mimic the body's natural breathing pattern when it's asleep . When sleeping, we tend to breathe deeper. You don’t want to take very deep breaths but you do want them to be somewhat longer than how you breathe when you are awake. Like with Chaos Theory, after about 5 - 10 minutes of doing this step, your body should naturally take over this rhythm and you won't be required to force this breathing anymore.



Step 5 - Maintaining State



Your body is sufficiently relaxed, your breathing is as it is when you are sleeping and your mind has free-fallen enough to where its logic and reasoning centers are trying to shut down, - Now that the hard part is out of the way, it should be smooth sailing from this point on! So now, let’s maintain awareness.



• If you notice yourself slipping away, try doing basic math. Nothing complex, but something that requires some actual thinking… not automatic answers.



• One thing I’ve found that helps me is by mentally repeating, in between breaths, “I remain consciously aware as my body falls to sleep”. If you want to maintain logic, reasoning and awareness as your body falls to sleep, - in between breaths, mentally count down from 100 - 1. You should shift into sleep paralysis before you get to 1. If you haven't shifted yet, Count down again. The shift is unmistakable. You may feel vibrations, a wave of energy sweep over you, a lead blanket being pulled over you, or you may even notice your hearing shift from external to internal (real time hearing). All of these are indicators that you've successfully (and consciously) entered into sleep paralysis.



• Try to remain as still as possible. Swallowing saliva won’t help you but won’t hurt that much either. It all comes down to awareness and focus. Energy flows where attention goes. If too much focus and attention is going to your throat (to swallow or not to swallow!?) instead of relaxing, then more energy is going there as well. Result? You won’t be going to sleep anytime soon. For more simple solutions I give to combat swallowing, eye movement, twitches and more, click HERE.

Then i decided to try the free-falling technique. I've done that before, but not knowing what it was.

So i layed still for a while. Let my mind do what it wanted to think. I don't remember what random thoughts i had, because i gave them no attention!

I didn't intend to WILD, but at some point I 'catched' my mind from falling deeper. It was the moment when sleep paralysis set in . Sensations were going through my whole body and i was lifted a bit. As i was set back into my bed, i knew i was now dreaming. Opened my eyes and voila!

- Jeff777 Most of you are aware of another popular sleep paralysis induction thread , I created a few years ago. By tinkering with that method for some years, I've arrived at the techniques above. By; since it helps me enter the necessary state more quickly. I hope that you've found it just as helpful to use as I've found it enjoyable to share. Happy lucids.- Jeff777 Originally Posted by andresld Originally Posted by i had my first success with this technique this morning :d! i woke up from a dream, and decided to attempt right away. I just paid attention to the chaos thoughts, and made sure to recognize the sp wave. The transition went as in any other wild i've had before.

Thanks jeff :) Originally Posted by dakotahnok Originally Posted by i did have a wild with this technique. It was a few nights ago. it was the quickest wild i have ever had.
