Last night I decided to try the WILD technique without doing the 5-6 hours of sleep first since I am very impatient. I got myself very relaxed and tired and just closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. I started seeing the flashes of light and little pictures, but I got too excited and came out of it. Is it possible to have a successfull WILD without sleeping first?
You can see hypnagogic imagery even when going to sleep in the evening, and it happens sometimes.
Some claim that it's possible to WILD in the evening, but it'd need you to stay sharp for the 90 minutes period of unconsciousness before the first REM starts. Or then you would have to mess with your sleep cycles.
yeah possible but highly improbable ;)
Thanks. I guess i'll have to be patient next time and do it the right way. I've only had one lucid dream in my life when I knew what lucid dreaming was and I controlled it, but that was about a year ago. I pretty much stopped trying lucid dreaming when school started, but I'm gonna try really hard this summer.
Yea, actually you can go WILD but it's vividness is too low...and usually when you try to control it you wake up :(
The whole sleep 5-6 hours just doesn't work for me..
I've had more success with the WILD first thing in the evening.
I guess I'm doing something bad, or it varies from person to person.
Alot of times I see flashes of light and other hypnogic(sp?) stuff before going to sleep, but once I saw this bright flash of light a couple of times and I was like "WTF is going on!?!" then I heard a bunch of thunder and I realized it was lightning flashing in my window lol
Dude everytime i have tried it after sleeping i just fall my ass back to sleep but when i have tried it as i fall asleep at night i have gotten much much farther i feel all numb and lose sense of my location then see things and by then i usually get real excited and my heart starts to race and i fade back to reality.
if i could stay calm i would have it but meh. :/
