I find Brian Aherne's WILDing method not always reliable - it is a hit and miss thing. The downside is it may affect health as the body is in a constant state of stress not getting enough rest. Although Brian says in his method, the body and mind does not sleep. I disagree. The body needs to sleep. But the mind keeps it stressed. So a balance need to be found. Instead of totally using Brian's method, we use it along with other methods randomly mixed in with Youri Zaritski and Michael Raduga.
Another point is although Brian says there is no break from wakefulness to dream state, from personal experience I disagree. There is always a micro blackout, also known as microsleep, where the mind needs to blank out for a split second before switching gears into the dream state.
So the mixed in method is as follows.
Set an intention that upon every awakening I will remember to keep still and attempt dream re-entry. Then attempt exit from body. If fails, do forced sleeping. Then repeat. Each repetition, we use different methods. Example follows. Use Brian's method to first fall asleep when we go to bed at night.
Example Protocol:
1. Set intention to keep still at every awakening and do re-entry and exit
2. Upon awakening, keep still and try to rub fingers, and clap hands
3. Try to rotate body, or, swing, or, rock back and forth, or sway left and right, or, spinning balls
4. Forced sleeping
5. Repeat from 3
The forced sleeping is also a mixed method. We can use any of the following:
1. old fashioned method (i.e. just stop thinking, breathe and let go)
2. mindfulness of craving and let go
3. transform self into Vajrayogini
4. loving-kindness
