Thread: Can you have a WILD before sleep.

I personally have never been able to WILD when first going to sleep at night but there may be someone who has.

I think it is possible depending on your circumstance... for instance if you hadn't slept the past two nights then yes, WILDing will certainly be possible once you do go to sleep! But if you have a regular sleep schedule, it's just not very probable. Your dreams typically occur during REM, which happens after a few hours of sleep. If you were to have a WILD in the beginning of the night, I imagine it would be more like intense HI than anything.

If you are pressed for time, you can stick to WILDing during the weekends. During the weekdays, you can stick to auto-suggestion methods! They are very easy to do and don't take up much time!

It works for me in a quite environment where nothing can distract me. I never set an alarm clock for such things.

Yes you can.

But its a lot harder to do

My biggest problem with WILD is that I go from waking to sleeping and sleeping to waking far too easily, so consequently I always fall asleep and lose consciousness whenver I try to WILD during the night. The few WILDS I've had (2 or 3, that's about it), where all upon going to sleep.

Many people believe that we dream only during REM sleep, based on an old scientific model from several decades ago. These days neuropsychology and neurobiology has come to the conclusion that REM and dreaming are actually not directly related. We dream from the moment we sleep to the moment we wake. So yes, it is possible to WILD right at the moment of going to sleep.

If I remember correctly, Tibetan Dream Yoga bases itself on the premise that you never even lose consciousness. These guys basically go to sleep, WILD, and remain lucid all night long.

That said, it's a lot harder to try and WILD directly when going to sleep. So unless you have no choice or you're pretty much an expert, I would recommend you try the WBTB method that most people suggest.
