Though it wasn't a WILD per se, i did get a pretty vivid FA, and then actually realized i was dreaming. you can read all about it right here: The FA(April 7th, 2015) - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Congrats on achieving lucidity there. Even if you don't succeed in your WILD attempts, the attempt alone can still be very beneficial. During a WILD attempt you are striving for lucidity all the way up until the point you lose consciousness. This can help raise the chances for a DILD after a failed WILD attempt as lucid dreaming is still fresh on the mind. Good stuff and just keep practicing

Great guide! I will try those techniques!

Hi king maybe you can help me . I've been trying this technique and cannot for the life of me enter sleep paralysis! I could literally have not slept for 3 weeks and I'm unable to fall asleep consciously. I'm sitting there, body is tingly and numb, mind calm, yet I never get any SP sensations. ;_; Even if I roll over, if my intent is to stay conscious my body just will not paralyze.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I hope you are still around to read this.

Well, it may sound pretty simple, but the most important thing you need to do is fall asleep. If you are too focused on hitting SP or thinking, "Why am I not getting into SP?" you are going to have trouble falling asleep. I'd recommend to just simplify the process. Just relax and allow yourself to fall asleep. Don't try too hard and if you are having trouble falling asleep, go ahead and roll over. Try not to worry about anything and just relax.

Hello! I'm a lucid dreamer beginner and I'd like to say a few things about WILD in general.

I've seen lots of comments everywhere not suggesting WILD for beginners, yet that's the only way I've managed to get lucid up to now (I'm still practicing DILD almost every day tho). I think until you actually succeed with WILD it's very unclear what it is and how effective it is. With good experience I'm sure it can become pretty much an on command lucid dreaming technique as you actually decide when to make it happen instead of passively waiting for MILD or a high level of awareness to pay off.

The funny thing is that every time I got lucid, I actually failed or thought that I failed my WILD. I would just fall asleep before anything happen or I would give up and go back to sleep normally cause it would keep me awake too much. But as it's being said in the guide, it can lead to DILD later on. That's not what happened to me however. I was either getting False awakening or close to False awakening (not finding myself waking up in bed but beginning the dream standing up somewhere in my room). But I wouldn't go through the "transition" or through SP, not even notice any kind of hallucinations prior to entering the dream. Still, every time I knew I was in a dream from the beginning or I did a RC to prove it. I've never done a RC because of a DILD. Instead I've done them because I had memories of falling asleep while trying WILD. So I remembered for example after a false awakening "Shit! I fell asleep during WILD... Oh well, let's do a RC to make it an habit upon awakening, it's better than nothing" and got lucid. So even if we think we failed WILD cause we didn't feel any transition, any SP (which I read isn't mandatory for WILD) or if we haven't encountered any hallucinations but instead just got a blank time during which we have no clue what happened, as if we just fell asleep shamefully, we might still be conscious enough to remember once in a dream what we were doing before, thus getting lucid. This makes WILD still quite effective. Sometimes it makes me doubt that I've failed WILD at all, but really it doesn't matter in the end. Hope this makes sense.

Lastly, I wanted to say that this guide is not great. It's way more than that, like it's certainly the TOP one worldwide I'd recommend to anyone. It's accurate and simple. Even though it's general, I think it's actually the best way of getting an idea of the whole process. It's explaining WILD in a different manner than every single WILD guide / technique I've read before. Most of them usually really insist on finding a way of staying conscious (counting, repeating a mantra, focusing on phosphenes, doing visualization ect...) and completely ignore to remind you the main goal of the technique : to fall asleep. I don't know for other people and in particular beginners but, I found that focusing on a way of staying conscious too much or for too long actually kept me awake too much and ultimately would give me insomnia. This guide describes a more peaceful way of staying conscious, which makes total sense since the more peaceful/calm you are, the easier you gonna fall asleep. Until I read it, I was doing WILD wrong. It was leading me towards giving up and I started to understand why it's not suggested to beginners. Hell, so many guides tell you to absolutely avoid moving at all cost cause otherwise you gonna have to start again or that you need to stay still through being terribly itchy so that you don't mess it up. But this guide is just so different when it comes down to the fondations of the technique. You really don't have to do anything complicated. You're allowed to be comfy instead of experiencing "I'm faking death and I really want to move". It made it so clear that you're just aiming to fall asleep as every night, just trying to witness it. Witnessing it doesn't mean doing things that are gonna keep you awake at the end. Just looking into the darkness of your eyelids is enough!

I believe I'm not the only one who got awake too much after my first WILD's and started giving up on it because of misunderstanding the whole process so thank you so much for highlighting what really matters with WILD! And pardon me for the wall of text

Great Guide. When i red the part which said that i could change positions if i felt uncomfortable i though "Of course! That´s what i usually do when falling asleep!".
