Thread: Inducing Trance To Wild - Part 1

Hey Neko, thanks for the encouragement.

I tried this tech again today. First off, even before reverse blinking, i relaxed my body by bringing my awareness from my feet up to my head. For any of you having trouble achieving the trance and SP states i would highly recommend starting with either a relaxation or body awareness exercise, as i find it really speeds up the whole process. I then started reverse blinking, and after only about 10 or 15 blinks my eyes just stayed shut. My body started twitching slightly again, but i really had to work at not falling asleep. I'm pretty sure i was like sooo close to the full blown HI stage, because i imagined someone walking through my door, and i got up to check, only to realize moments later that i had imagined it. I will continue to try.

Sythix, how have you attached anchoring to this tech? I read the link about it and think that anchoring is incredibly cool. In fact i have set a relaxing anchor for myself, but i am unsure how you are applying it to this.

Keep trying everybody. I have never had a WILD before, however my DILD's are easily in the dozens. If i could LD at will, it would make me a very happy individual. This tech just might be the Holy Grail for the Holy Grail of lucid dreaming!!

Basically what you want to do is anchor the state deepest into which Reverse Blinking puts you in - either Alpha or Theta state. You can even do an SP/Theta state - the anchor doesn't have to be applied physically - it can be mentally. By doing this you make the WILD easier because you can then fire the anchor and quickly get into a trance state ideal for WILD. You can also play with NLP Anchoring to induce even FURTHER states of trance if you want to (and if you're not getting so far) - it's a classical hypnosis technique called 'fractionation' and I'll explain:

1) Get yourself into a light trance with Reverse Blinking and then apply your anchor, while applying a posthypnotic suggestion to yourself: 'every time I touch my fingers like this (or whatever anchor you
use) I will quickly reach this state of mind' - Say that to yourself three times in a 'matter of fact' kind of way
2) Then emerge from the trance state by opening your eyes. Then inhale deeply, and when you exhale, close your eyes and let yourself relax.
3) Do Reverse Blinking again, and as you feel yourself going into trance, fire your anchor.
4) Notice how you reach a deeper level of trance this second time, and when you feel you are deeper into Reverse Blinking, say your posthypnotic suggestion again, and re-anchor yourself.
5) Open your eyes and repeat about six times.

You will find that as you practice this regularly, and let yourself drop into lower brainwave states and anchor the state, you will be forming a new set of neurological pathways, and the more you do this, the faster and more effective your anchor will be.

I'm glad I remembered this technique, I used it a long time ago when I was having trouble reaching Theta state (without RB) - now I'll put it on the first post for all the newbies out there
