      I've got a question and a problem =0!

      How long should this be taking (at the longest)? I tried for about an hour last night and a little less a few other nights and couldn't transition into a dream. And that's my problem, my visualizations are very vivid, I have a few clear ideas to use for scenes, and I can hold all the senses together pretty well, but I get stuck at that point. 0_0

      You need to transition into the dream.

      Go and do something simple. Walk around, explore. Start throwing stuff at DCs if you want.. XD

      If you want something that helps you transition, conjure up a chess board or some other game. Play it against someone. When the game is done, the dream should have transitioned. If you're afraid you might forget that it's a dream, write down "this is a dream" on a piece of paper and put it to the side. When the game is over, pick it up and read it.

      Don't think about your real body and don't go asking yourself "has it worked yet?" You'll usually be able to tell when its become a dream if you remain vigilant in your awareness. Things will pop up that "you" did not create and weird things will begin to happen.

      The time it takes fluctuates alot. A snappy WBTB time VILD can take about 30 seconds to become stable while a late night one can sometimes even take up to 20 minutes. If its taking up to an hour however, somethings not right. If you're having trouble stabilizing the dream and you're doing it before sleep, try doing it at WBTB time. It tends to be an easier shift. Don't allow yourself to wake up very much either. you want to go right back in.

      Thanks for the awesome tutorial arby, I didn't see this. Any kind of WILDing/VILDing always reminds me of meditation and hypnosis so much.
      Everybody dance!
