Thread: Wild Is Not Working For Me.

Are you relaxed while you're doing this? If you have an active mind you aren't going to go anywhere, since your body knows that your mind is still awake. The whole point is to trick your body into entering a dream state while your mind is secretly awake, but to do that you have to stay still, relax and don't think too hard. You should try to notice the HI but don't concentrate too much on them. Also, are you attempting this after 4-6 hours of sleep or at the start of your sleep? It really helps to wake up during your REM period. It's normal to feel the paralysis early on; I feel it after about 10 minutes of staying still. I hope this helps!

Dont expect to be able to..WILD is something pretty hard to do IMO. Some people get it, others dont. If your lucky, youll be one of the people who get it. If not, use another method. I have never WILDed myself. I havent really tried, but if you cant get it, dont worry about it. I still have multiple lucids almost every night, never WILDed. I probably get more than an experienced WILDer does.

WILD isn't working for you?

I agree. WBTB is the only way i have even gotten to the HI. I've never actually been able to have a lucid dream. However, I'm trying again tonight.

Actually i havnt tried that .
Maybe thats why its not working and yes im completely relaxed my mind is totaly clear.
ive been going to bed my usual time 9pm -11pm
i will set an alarm on tonight at 4am and then try wilding
Thanks!!

Yeah, WILD is a very tough technique. I haven't even step foot on those grounds yet.

By the way, I love your profile. "I'm Analise, but you can call me anal" LMAO. Love it.

One other thing you could try. If you plan to do the early morning wakeup, which is a good stategy, make sure there is (some) light in the room while you are trying for the LD. Not too much, maybe like nitelite bright, or a lamp with it's dimmer switch turned down. I've found that, for some reason, illumination helps.

the name anal is a bowling incident.
only aloud 4 letters A N A L
my friends wont let me forget that.
Yeah im guna try this method again tonight i hope it works

Well, good luck!

I tried again last night, but i didnt stay up long enough for the WBTB to work, so i fell back asleep almost immdediatly. Maybe I'll try stretching or jump roping or something after i wake up to be more awake.

what i find is a great relaxation technique is to stretch the different muscle areas, and while i do that i breath very deeply/slowley. i close my eyes, and think to myself (very slowly "okay........time to relax.........shut down the mind..............calmness" etc. then get into bed.

it takes me a very long time to get to sleep, usualy 45 mins. but when i do the above, it takes me just a couple of minuets.
and, doing this makes me sleep very well, so well infact that i was to relaxed to get up for A wbtb last night.

as for not going into the dream, try this. imagine waking up in your bed, going downstairs. go out the front door, but instead of your front yard, imagine anything else, just spontainiously imagine another landscape.

it could be a battlefield, another plannet, anything. just make sure its spontanious.

I was able to WILD easily with supplements help. Now I am struggling for weeks to do it without. Usually asleep to quick while back to bed:\ Had some DILD's instead:0

I can confirm the same. My LD's usually started like OOBE's - I was creeping out from my bed. When my physical curtains were on my dream was starting almost in pitch dark. When I allowed some light in in next attempts it was clearly reflected in brighter vision. I know, dream vision quality is down to you but I am not at that level yet...
