Thread: I H8 Reality's VILD Technique

The Wake Back to Bed method ALWAYS works for me. I have been attaining lucidity for years. Fo me, I sleep 6 or 7 hours (sometimes 5) I wake up for about 15minutes. I can usually watch a little TV..that actually will make me drowsy. The most important thing in my experience with lucid dreaming, is that I must tell myself, "I will have a lucid dream. and this is what I will dream about" I repeat that over & over as the drowsiness sets in..I visualize exactly what i will dream about..and it has NEVER failed me. Sometimes it's not perfect. The other night I wanted to have a lucid dream that in my backyard was a huge beautiful pool, like one you would see in a resort..the lucid dream started..I checked my back yard, but instead of a resort like pool, there was a huge lake! I just shut the door and said "no..I want a pool, not a lake! Opened the door again and got my pool!!! I'm not sure if anyone else ever feels this way, but my LD's can be so amazing and perfect that when I finally do wake up, I am emotional over the experience!

How does this technique tie in with writing dreams in your dream journal? How can you do improve dream recall in the morning if you're not allowed to move? :/

I'm guessing that by this point you are expected to have good enough recall that skipping recording that one dream in the morning doesn't make a huge difference. You can also mentally replay your dreams instead of writing them down, if you're not able to write them down for whatever reason. It's not as good, but it's something.

This method is the best so far, and it really is as good as everyone says it is....
I had my first Lucid dream last night because of this method......

I really didn't think i would remember to do reality checks cause i was focusing more on WILDs to begin with (with not much luck) and then all of a sudden im doing like 3 reality checks in a row in my dreams (hands, unusual objects, and lights not switching on). INCREDIBLE, Im going to trust my subconcsious much more from now on.

Sounds Intresting, I'll give it a go. Thanks.

I must've imagined this 50 times this morning. Sometimes it got pretty vivid (the visualization, that is), but in the end absolutely nothing happened and I just went back to sleep.

I'm going to try this after I sleep for a 9 hours under the impression that it's a revelation of a method (assuming by the amount of success it's bringing).

OP - Excellent work, you must be extremely proud to help so many people become lucid.. I know I would be!

I'll report later on tomorrow after I get some results (hopefully). I've only had a few lucid dreams since I've been trying to have them (a couple years now). Perhaps this will help? I shall see!

I've done this exact same thing before!
I made a tutorial because I didn't know it was already invented.

This is exactly how I project without separation, walking around and touching things in my room.

I just want to mention that you can separate as well. You would feel you couldn't but if you keep repeating a detaching movement of some kind eventually you will succeed.

Gaius Balter also projects, as do the human model cylons.

i have a question about when you try falling back to sleep after the brief awakening, do u keep your eyes open or keep them closed, cause i think in a wild they need ta be open, i just wanna know soon

ive been doing this technique without even realising it, every LD ive ever had starts in my backyard

I'll keep doing this for a month and report back on my travels in my dreamworld... It really seems to be a great technique, but whether it is, remains to be seen.

I've been trying it for 3 days and I got nothing. I just moved to a new house this summer though. I tried with both old and new house. The weird thing, I did have a dream that I was in my old house two nights ago. It wasn't controlled though. I was pretty close with trying with my old house trying to get back into a dream I had the night before though.

Will have to try this this morning, sounds like a bit of a DEILD hybrid.

Ok, so you're saying is. I wake up early in the morning, I just lay there and i imagine myself jumping my fence in my backyard?

This is a really good idea. I tried to VILD last night but the places I wanted to go were to unfamiliar for me to successfully imagine myself in those places.

Techniques like this one gotta feel pretty weird. First you know that you are daydreaming and feel yourself lying in bed, then all of a sudden you're not daydreaming anymore, but are instead "put" in your daydream (so to speak).

How does it feel to go from being conciouss about your daydream to (when it becomes a ld) being conciouss in it?

What kind of "feeling" can I expect if I were to succeed with this technique?
If I know what to expect, then maybe it will be easier for me to make it happen

This technique is very effective, I forget what its called but essentially you can turn any place you want into your sanctuary. Ever since I first saw the matrix mine has always been the room Neo and Morpheus first fought in.

wow, I'm amazed at so many people trying this technique and getting it really fast, I know I had to work like 4 weeks in a row, before I even got a few lucky ones, and I still can't get it on command, but I think I know what you guys do, but I don't, you just wake up naturaly and do it, and don't worry if it's the right way, I'm going to try that alot very soon, I also notice you try to make the scene reather then search something random, you build up from basic memory's of things.

oh yeah that and I just suck really bad at visualising in the morning.

I can't believe how this is working for everyone. If it works for me tongiht though I'll bake you a cake.

I just did what he said worked in the first post >.>

I think it works best if you don't think about it before you go to sleep. Like, last night when i went to bed, i never thought about having a lucid dream, i just went to sleep then happened to wake up really early, then it sort of just came to me and i imagined something familiar like walking/running downstairs, and i just became aware that i was dreaming, and i was lucid...

edit: btw, it didn't last very long when i was lucid, only a few seconds. But i was still happy that the technique worked at least..

I read in a nother post you should tell yourself "you will have a Lucid Dream" and "you will awaken in your dreams" before you go to bed to prompt your subconcious later.
I dunno.

Yeh thats what i do and almost guarantees a lucid but i repeat the affirmation when i wake up in the night. The success rate of this method depends on the individual.
