In the end, most techniques for achieving WILD's are very similar. You might start by checking out DV's WILD tutorial, or, if you're more ambitious, you might try my DVA WILD class. |

Hello, still trying to get my first lucid dream and was wondering what the best WILD method would be and how I would do it. Should I be focusing on visualization, breathing, something else, or everything. Basically I'm just looking for a good method that would be easy for me to learn. Thanks. |

The rope technique has been effective for me. |

Will look at the tutorial, thanks for the links. |

I strongly suggest you follow sageous's advice and read through the links he posted. Although WILDing is simple and there are only few steps, every step is complex with regards to state of mind one is in during attempt. Also there is much of daytime work and practice involved. It's not simply laying down and waiting for it to happen. There are a few misconceptions, such as don't move at all, don't swallow or scratch... All this is explained in the mentioned tutorials. |

You can add in meditation or progressive relaxation methods if you feel it is necessary, that is a personal choice, I have found both helpful. |

...And struggling to hold still or, say, to keep from scratching a persistent itch or swallowing, can be just as damaging to a WILD attempt. |

Yes ofc, moving as little as possible is the best. Just as when we are falling asleep normally, it takes longer when we fidget. But even when we are comfortable and falling asleep fast, we still swallow, scratch an itch or move a hand that was maybe in uncomfortable position. The only difference is that at this time we don't even notice, because we don't care. So WILDing should be approached the same way. We should not even notice a small itch or that we scratch, or when we swallow. And when we know that we can do all these things, I found that itches don't even come, because they know I can dispose of them quicly without them bothering me. |

Interesting question Reinards. |
