Thread: Can I use guided audio to WILD?

I'm very sleepy when I wake up to do WILD, can I use a recording to guide me through it when I wake up?

You could try it. Personally I prefer complete silence/earplugs. Because I like to listen for all the weird audio hallucinations. For some reason last few days I've been getting old music from the 30's or 40's playing in my head. I don't even like that kind of music.

Sure you can. You could do a guided meditation or one that keeps reminding you it is a dream. Try a few.

Maybe this isn't relevant to the thread. But thinking about this I remembered a time years ago. During the era of boom boxes cassette tapes and no internet. I once recorded my voice on a cassette tape, towards the end of the tape so just kind of hoping it might find me in REM. I recorded my voice saying this is a dream several times. I adjusted the volume so that hopefully it wouldn't just wake me up but also hopefully loud enough that I would hear it in a dream. I had a lucid dream the first time I tried it lol. However, I was getting lucid fairly regularly at the time so I didn't know for sure if it was the recording that caused my lucid or I just happened to get lucid that night regardless. Or, totally could have just been that making the tape helped set my intention to become lucid enough that it happened that night. Who Knows. I didn't remember hearing my voice saying this is a dream in the dream though. "Shrugs."
