When images start to appear I most often relax, watch them, and do some autosuggestion to make sure I don't lose focus. |

I have been practising WILD for a couple of weeks.I reach the point where i see mini dream sequences sometimes i get caught up in these sequences and sometimes i dont.When i so get caught up there most of the time a sound from the waking life startles and gets me out of the mini dream scene until a new scene shows up.Should i just stay there and observe these mini scenes?Should i try to engage on them? I have read that i should wait for a vivid 3d scene to come by and engage.No such scene for now though.Whats your ideas and opinions on this? |

"Parable.- Those thinkers in whom all stars move in cyclic orbits are not the most profound: whoever looks into himself as into vast space and carries galaxies in himself also knows how irregular all galaxies are; they lead into the chaos and labyrinth of existence."- Friedrich Nietzsche, the gay science, First published in 1882 revised in 1887, translated by Walter Kaufmann [/SIGPIC]
So i should passively observe them until a dream starts to form ? |

I've had lots of WILDS but the images thing never happened for me... But yeah the general approach is to passively observe them until they completely form and you're in the dream. |

It depends how vivid and consistent the scenario and image of it are, in my experience. If you get caught up in scenarios that start forming while trying to drift off to sleep, more often than not it's either just dialog or the range of experience is very limited, with almost no visual aspect, they aren't stable enough to be useful for much other than more easily falling asleep (which is a requirement somewhat overlooked when people try and WILD, getting yourself to fall asleep is extremely important--losing consciousness in the process isn't always a given). |

Y'all are lucky I haven't had a lucid yet I be so hyped to have one I do wbtb once my alarm goes off I get really lazy n don't get up makes me mad when I do that |

WILD (WBTB is almost always a supplement to WILD, so I assume it's what you're trying, especially given we're in the WILD subforum... so I apologize if I'm assuming you're WILDing and I'm incorrect about that) is one of the more difficult ways to achieve a lucid dream and typically considered an induction method better suited for more advanced LDers. That's not to discourage you though, I focused primarily on WILD myself when I first started (DILD got me my first couple of LDs, however). On the contrary, I'm trying to boost your confidence a little bit--considering you haven't had a lucid dream yet, your failure isn't all that surprising considering you are attempting WILD. Keep on practicing, WILD takes the longest to achieve success, but offers the most stable and vivid dreams, and once you know what you're doing, the highest rate of success. That being said, WILD isn't necessarily for everyone. |
