Thread: Am I on the right track? (WILD) - Coming from a pretty exciting attempt

Not a problem at all, mate glad I was able to help I forgot to mention that in hypnagogic trance you may or may not see things, it doesn't really matter. It was wise of you to increase your awareness, because if you follow those thoughts, you slip into non-lucid sleep, like I said before. But do you understand the process? You essentially do the same thing you do when you go to sleep, only you try to stay on a perfect state of inbetween asleep and awake. You want your body to sleep, but your mind to stay awake, but feel a "shift" in consciousness. You'll see what I mean soon enough. After your first WILD you'll understand a LOT more about how it works and it gets a lot easier.

I think I understand the process perfectly I have had LD's before, and in my DEILD I went through a quick SP(I've actually tried that twice). Where I would hear this very loud noise, then feel my body being dragged off my bed like a ragdoll, then to feeling like being trown into the dream scene.

I understand what you mean with making a shift in consciousness It's a very weird feeling you get when your consciousness slips from the real world into the dream world, but as I said, I'm pretty sure I understand what you mean by that

As you said, it's all about finding the perfect balance between being aware and let yourself drag into a sleeping state. And that is exactly the balance I'm experimenting right now

Well there you go then sounds like you're gonna be pretty good at this. Better than me anyway. I'm pretty bad at WILD unless I use VILD

Wow, thanks for teaching me somthing. I actually concentrate on the feelings in my body ALOT. I will try and cut that out! Thanks!

Good. And also try not to think about the process of the WILD at all. Thoughts like, "Oh wow...ok this must be the transitional phase! I'm getting close!

Avoid that. Come to think of it really, you're probably best off not thinking much at all

I know... It's like all you have to do is go with the flow somehow hehe.
