It seems like a lot of lucid dreaming beginners focus a lot on WILD techniques, and I have always been a bit skeptical about that.
Personally I consider WILD a relatively difficult way to become lucid - I understand that it is tempting, since it seems like a very straightforward way to become lucid and will probably work extremely well once you have nailed it - but it feels like it involves too much at once for complete beginners.
So how ideal would you say WILD is for people who are just starting out?
I usually think that dream recall and future LD goals are more natural "starting points", and it feels like WILD might make things more complicated and frustrating than necessary for beginners.
