Thread: How do you usually become lucid?

Dont suppose anyone can clear this up for me?

I think I WILD... Would that mean for instance what I normally do... I set an alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night normally a couple of hours before i would actually wake up in the morning... So I wake up and drift myself back off again, however I drift into a lucid Dream this way. Again however recently when I attain the Lucid Dream feeling to secure it I would Jump up and down and see if I can float in the air or punch my hands out.

So am I WILD'ing? Or doing a reality check or a bit of both?

Also another question (Sorry still new at it all)

...I find it very difficult to attain a lucid dream at my normal nightly sleep hours. Instead (I work split shifts through out the day) ...I almost always get them when I have an afternoon nap and I need to be lying on my back and also almost always have sleep paralysis when sleeping during the day.

Is there any reason for this?

Thanks guys.

That would be a WILD. for instance, if you where in a dream and saw a dream sign, you would know that you are dreaming, and would do a reality check to make sure, that would be a MILD. but if you did a reality check because of your habit, and realize that you're in a dream, that would be a reality check induced lucid dream. The WILD is what made you feel in a dream, and you know you're in one, so you do a reality check just to make sure.It's definitely a WILD
