It will definitely help you to become lucid, since visualisation is a great aid in DILD and MILD as well. However, I doubt whether you could 'turn your daydreams into lucid dreams' because I don't think you keep full awareness of the present moment while daydreaming. Therefore, I don't think you keep awareness while your body falls asleep, which is WILD in essence. |

Yeah, is it correct to think of WILD as simply daydreaming while staying extra aware of yourself? |

No, I don't think it is correct. |

Daydream for its own sake. It's great |

My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.
We are already experts in daydreaming. We are not in visualization, which requires a little bit of concentration and relaxation. If you mix visualization with daydreaming, without forgetting the visualization theme, i think yes it's a good method to WILD. For instance if you imagine a romantic setting with an interesting person, it's somewhat easy to remain aware and let the subconscious add its imagination. |

Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way
Yeah, well the way I have understood visualization is that it is pretty much "lucid daydreaming" - that is, you consciously imagine something and try to remain as aware as possible during these imaginations, and "get inside" the daydream. |

Right, it's a skill that can be developed. if one chooses an engaging topic to visualize, that's easier. I usually do it from bedtime with a romantic visulization, it takes ages to WILD but i have done it a few times. Not for the purpose of LDing, only for the fun,ok maybe with some hope of LDing. Never tried this in the morning or after wbtb. I think i might have a plan tonight haha |

Hehe, me too. |

Yeah, it can be dangerous because you can really fall in love hehe lol, no kidding. I have tried with imaginary persons but doesn't seem to work so well. I usually shy away from this method because of the afterward feelings and thoughts. Ya its that deep ! |

I have had a couple dreams where I have had some form of romantic moment with a female Dream Character, and sometimes I almost feel like I wanna meet that girl again, haha. |

I'm curious to see all your experiences with this! If it does work, it does indeed sound like a refreshing perspective on WILD and allows for some daytime practice. |
|
I was actually thinking this as well a while ago, haven't tested it much yet though. |
|
I think i didnt explain myself fully. I mean, you could fall in love for a real person if you visualize it, even if you are mostly interested in WILDing |

I honestly don't think having a (day)dreamy mind is very usefull for WILD (I'm thinking about DEILD but it's actually the same) because starting to think and having daydreams could actually make you wander of and eventually fall asleep. You have to stay sharp and keep the darkness infront of you as it's the only thing reminding you that's you're laying down with your eyes closed when you eventually go out. |

If you read this do a reality check, you will thank me later...
