I've been casuality experimenting with my holy grail, WILD, for a while, without success until this Saturday morning. But it was odd. I was (very) tired, so I decided to try a WILD. I used the previously discussed technique of counting breaths mixed with mnemonics ("Lucid" seemed as good a choice as any). But whereas a good 150+ breaths would cause some mildly freaky hypnogogia in the past, but nohing more than a few headless folks sitting at desks (don't ask), this was just wild (pun not intended).
I began floating around in that zero gravity feeling straight away, and my eyes started going like the clappers in about 5 seconds. A feeling of insane speed towards a centre point overcame me and within 20 seconds I had my dreamscape.
It was a bit crap though. I was in my bed, without the duvet on freezing cold. Somehow, I lost track of my senses and instead of realising what was around me was the dream I began imagining stuff in my head, stuff which was no more real than what you'd imagine in real life. I thought this was the dream. Ugh... Anyway, I woke up to find the duvet on me at a perfectly mild temperature (for January). So I was a little annoyed.
But a successful WILD all the same , and effortless, too. Zero-to-dream in 20 seconds is a very odd feeling indeed.
