      Afraid of WILD

      Hello guys! Just wanted to say that i am afraid of the nighttime experiences..

      I learned about lucid dreaming about a year ago, and the concept absolutely blew my mind!! Doing whatever you want? Talking to your own subconciousness? Seeing things I could not have ever imagined? Yes please!

      However i hit a wall. At first, after the negative response of my family towards lucid dreaming, my curiosity fell. But recently I started trying to finally get the experience.

      Yesterday for example I went to sleep a little bit earlier, in order to let my body relax while not yet falling asleep. (At this point i am pretty excited)
      As a person who always was very impressionable, I find it hard to calm myself. I am still trying to keep away from scary movies, because of how strongly they affect me. My mind will make sure to make me imagine all kind of things in the dark, when i am going to sleep. This is the wall I keep hitting.

      So as I said, yesterday, after about 20 minutes of lying in the bed, looking up with all my limbs outstretched, my vision started to drift into complete darkness, with random singular pulses coming from inside of me, the fear crept up again.

      After reading about people experiencing that vast darkness that seems to be pushing on their chests, and the rapid pulsations, as well as the paralisys, i get too afraid and move my eyes, or my hand, something to stop the process

      I really wish to overcome the fear, but I cannot stop my brain from bringing up the creepiest shit imaginable (believe me, horror movies are nothing compared to this stuff)

      A follow up question I have is this:
      Can I possibly do a WILD during a daytime nap?
      It would help me a lot with getting used to the feeling, and then I could do it at night as well.

      Hi galastrato!

      I have moved your thread here so it's seen by more people.

      But you had the right idea posting in sageouses DV class. That is the best WILD tutorial we have and will explain the whole WILDing process to you in great detail.

      WILD

      and here is our shorter basic tutorial for WILD and also other ways of getting lucid Induction Methods and Techniques

      Just briefly:

      1. you should WILD only after some hours of sleep
      2. hallucinations may happen, but they are irrelevant, as they can't hurt you. You can either ignore them, or experience them passively as a signpost on the road to a LD
      3. naps are one of the best time for a WILD, since you already have prior sleep and you go most likely straight to REM after short falling asleep and light sleep period.

      Happy dreams.

      The worst thing is that since I expect to see something abnormal, I might see something abnormal.. Hehe.
      But it is great news to me that it can be done during daytime! The rays of sun falling into the room I believe will make for more amazing and calm environments, if I attain lucidity.

      Thank you guys for response

      If the WILD bothers you too much, you could always do what the majority of us do, which is prep during the day for a DILD.

      I used to be scared of WILD, but I just stopped getting scared of such things. It is my home and I have a right to live in it without being scared. No figment of my imagination, supernatural being, monster, or murderer will ever be able to take that from me, and if such things are real they'd better be prepared to take a knife to the face.
