Thread: Wild Techniques I've Never Heard Of

Courtesy of Wikipedia:

Wake-induced lucid dream (WILD)

The wake-initiated lucid dream ...[blah blah blah ]... Users of this technique often count, envision themselves climbing or descending stairs, chanting to themselves, exploring elaborate, passive sexual fantasies, controlling their breathing, concentrating on relaxing their body from their toes to their head, allowing images to flow through their "mind's eye" and envisioning themselves jumping into the image...[/b]

I don't remember why I was looking up WILDing on wikipedia, probably just out of interest, but there are a couple of techniques there that I haven't heard before: climbing stairs and exploring sexual fantasies. Are these genuine? I haven't heard of them before. How exactly do they work?

These techniques are most likely made up by the people to help them WILD, they are genuine but it doesn't mean they will work for everyone. The best way to approach WILD is by creating your own techniques for it in my opinion, and that is what these people have done, made up techniques that work for them.

i agree with sythix. there isnt a "one way works for all" wild. it doesnt exsist. thats what makes wilding one of the harder techniques. You just need to follow the basics and revise things along the way. thats probably what those people did.

I havent tried climbing stairs but i have tried imaging myself without a spinal cord, swimming through water hoops in the ocean... it relaxes me nicely, and keeps me from getting bored.

When I try and explore 'sexual fantasies', i just cant get to sleep! It gets me excited, or keeps me from being totally relaxed for obvious reasons.
