This Technique Worked! - But I Can't Find The Thread

**successfirst** · 09-26-2010 04:51 PM

Can you help me find this thread explaining this technique to become lucid? I can't find it!

I read it a while ago. The technique is something along the lines of waking up after a few hours of sleep, lying down still for a few minutes, and then quickly trying to physically sit up in bed. But it will not really be your physical body sitting up, but your astral body.

I remember them stressing the point that you should actually try to sit up with your physical body, although it will not be your physical body. When I first tried it, it worked!

But I can't remember exactly how he/she explained it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

It sounds to me as if you're talking about the WILD technique.
Well done! It's quite hard to get apparently.

**successfirst** · 09-26-2010 05:32 PM

You are correct. It was a WILD technique.

But this person described a technique I have never read anywhere since, here or anywhere else. The part related to trying to physically sit up is what I've never seen anyone say before. I believe several people had success with it. Just can't find the thread.

Maybe it was deleted or something. IDK

I remember. It contains sitting on your bed/standing by it then performing a RC, waiting some time and doing it again, right? I remember reading it somewhere, it was a post not a complete technique/thread I think, don't remember the name tough.

Yes I think that was it. Yeah I suppose it wasn't a complete technique, but it sure worked great. Now that you mentioned more of it, I also remember them saying most lucids begin as false awakenings and sitting or standing up assures that you don't miss out on the lucid or something. They said it happens quick and unnoticeably.

Oh, one more thing they mentioned that was different. They said lay there until you hear a sound or something. And sit/stand up as soon as you hear that sound, like an indicator that you are actually asleep but don't know it. I think that was the key thing that made it work so well.

That sound you mentioned is actually sleep paralysis, a signal that your body is going asleep. Sorry that I can not help you, I don't remember the thread.

Hey there. No that's not it. That post didn't mention anything about trying to sit or stand up. The post I'm referring to is probably from 2009 or 2008.

Let me know if you find it. Try using Google, and not just the DreamViews search bar.

EDIT. Found it?

Click here.

Hi, no that's not it either. I was all excited LOL.

I have tried using Google but STILL can't find it. If I could only remember one exact sentence, I could probably find it.

Thanks guys for trying to help me find it.

**Linkster17** · 09-28-2010 02:58 AM

sounds interesting, i will try this some time and post how it goes

**brettWp** · 09-28-2010 03:00 AM

Hmm I was sure that was it, haha. Once again, let us know if you find it!

**dpheonixg** · 09-30-2010 03:41 AM

If you find it, post it here. That sounds really interesting and I'd love to give it a read!

You know I still haven't found that thread, but last night after imagining doing that technique (sinking in and then sitting up), I actually projected, so I have to say thanks.

I still haven't found it either. So when did you attempt to sit up? Were you just lying there when you decided to try it? Or did you feel you were in sleep paralysis?

I was actually in the middle of a lucid dream. It was a combination of remembering what you said and some excerpts from "Mastering Astral Projection." The book is basically about transferring a WILD into a projection. I had gone through sleep paralysis already, and I felt that I resisted too much (I didn't move, but the breathing thing didn't go well). But I was in a lucid dream. I put my hands together like I was bowing or praying, and I just imagined myself sliding out and at one point I just kept saying to myself I need to sit up and felt myself leave. It was like my past minor experiences with APing, but it was much more controlled. I didn't travel far or long, but I did look at myself, and leave my room.
