I am new and have a few questions

[francesm10]

Hi! I just have a few questions. I would appreciate any positive help and feedback. First, I see references to WILD and MILD in alot of the messages. What is the difference? Second, has anyone here ever gotten "stuck" in a dream, where you try to wake yourself up and you think you did, only to still be dreaming? I repeat the loop as many as 10 times before I successfully wake up and by then, I am totally freaked out!

I have also had times when I am woken up in the middle of a really good dream and I force myself back into it and play out the scenes that I want to happen. Other times I will be dreaming and I will take over the dream. It is weird but fun.

Thanks for any help you can give :D

*ahem*

*whips out the bible of lucid dreaming*

WILD = Wake Induced Lucid Dream

MILD = Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dream

(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

WILD is basically falling asleep while remaining conscious (by carrying a thought from the waking word to the dream world)
MILD is very basically remembering to become lucid, and imagining yourself in the dream you just woke from...I have also had times when I am woken up in the middle of a really good dream and I force myself back into it and play out the scenes that I want to happen.[/b]

(correct me if I'm wrong people!)

ok

Other times I will be dreaming and I will take over the dream. It is weird but fun.

a lucid dream? or just control?

lucid dream = conscious while asleep

Welcome, francesm10!

Well said, paperdoll, I don't have anything to add...unless she asks something else.
In any case, france, just search for lucid dreaming...there are lots of sites that'll tell you everything you want to know. :wink:
