Thread: How to VILD effectively

Arby, you are a GENIUS.

Thank you so much for this thread!

I've been a total failure at everything else. MILD, WILD, DEILD...you name it. I've always naturally tried to visualise dreams when trying WILD (A method I'd have liked to succeed at because of the whole straight into lucid dream thing) but I didn't know how to do it properly.

I saw your tutorial last night and tried it when I went to bed. It was hard for me when I tried it first because I couldn't zonk out properly. The blackness behind my eyes kept overriding my fragile visualisated scene. I tried again a short while later. I was able to zonk out better and when I brought sight, sound and feel into it together the scene I was visualising expanded to all around me and my scene transitioned to a shaky dream. I guess this is what you meant by stablization - I was in the scene properly and it had expanded to surround me. It was really running itself, but I still had to concentrate to keep it together.

I lost lucidity slightly when I did that, making me suspicious at first when I woke up it might have failed and that it had been a DILD. But I remembered that the scene I had created was stable throughout with no laspe of dream conciousness in it, so I guess it was ok.



That was the FIRST TIME a technique has worked for me properly! And that was my first shot at VILD.

I'm going to keep doing this, I really think it's going to work. Also, I had a hard time getting enough touch into my dream when I was standing, so I entered the dream on a horse. Now, I can't really say anything about tht yet, I have no idea how good it is, but I'll keep trying it.

Oh yeah! Thank's for the tutorial, arby!
