Thread: I H8 Reality's VILD Technique

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

When I'm lucid and I find myself "in my room" I always fly out the window to get where I'm going. (Sometimes I wonder why I don't just teleport there, although I usually do when I'm not dreaming about my bedroom) I guess it really is ingrained in our subconsciouses.

Wow, thank you so much.

I think that just solved every one of my problems I've ever had trying a WILD.

Last night I had at least 2 chances to try, but before I could even get a mental image, the next thing I knew I was waking up again.

Ok so I tried last night, and I ran into some problems.

I'm pretty sure last night was the closest I've ever gotten to controlling the seperation into lucidity.

The probelm, I would get so damn close and I could feel myself sliping into a dream, and I could even start to see everything.

But then right as I would start to think about it, boom! I come RIGHT back to conciousness.

How can I learn to control that? I tried the method by getting up and walking around my "old" house. I just moved this summer and I tried doing it with my old house. I have a feeling that I should be doing it with my new room though.

Any one got any ideas?

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.

I found myself in SP last night but I am tired of being lucid in my backyard, so I was desperately trying to think of somewhere to take myself and somehow ended up in my bedroom at my dad's house. My subconscious has this technique down!

this is really awesome i tryed it and it worked as u said 1st try thank you!

LOL, I am. I can sleep for 10 hours and still be tired. I like my sleep.

ya definetly gonna try this. it looks like a really good technique

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

I've known about this thread ever since it was created, and for years now I have been studying and testing my ability to visualize. Yes I've been successful as far as deilding with it, I can remember thinking about being in my backyard and I actually started my dream off there which was unusual since they usually start in my bed.

I just want to say some of the success with this method has motivated me further to studying the visual/tactile simulations the mind can create.

I have not actually done this from being completely awake (more in a half asleep state) But it is my goal to be able to do it like such. Problem is I put so much focus into the images and it is very hard to concentrate in the mornings. I have discovered that movement in the visualization is crucial to keep it alive, from rotating the scene the brain is forced to generate new info were as the same info held too long just dies. My most vivid mental images came from pre-sleep states before I slip into sleep or half awake states in the morning as I'm waking up. My brain always wants to visualize new things that are very much unlike the places that my day takes place in. Most of the strongest images I've visualized have been random nonesense landscapes that I have never seen before that just come to mind. However I can visualize my house/college/naighborhood/highschool/faces with fairly good detail however they seem "far off" in my minds eye.

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

will try.

I do! Every single night (pretty much). I'd do more, but my job keeps interfering. (No, not depressed or anything--just need lots of sleep and feel great when I get it.)

I meant to try this technique last night--read about it yesterday--but the only time I was aware I was awake during the night was pretty close to the time I get up in the morning, and I was too awake.

I'm gonna try. I'm not that great with this kind of stuff, but it won't hurt and seems easy enough.

Me again. Meant to do this last night, but same problem: I wake up immediately, fully awake, and then I either a) toss and turn wide awake for hours; or b) fall asleep again before I know it. (I go to sleep at 9, and have alarms set for 1:30, 3, and 4:30 a.m.) I'll keep experimenting. One dream I had last night was loaded with dreamsigns and state testing (I kinda prefer "state testing" to "reality testing," since dreams aren't unreal; they're just another type of reality). Anyway, I noticed something definitely amiss and inquired of a DC (my treacherous sister!), who said, "Oh, that's just such-and-such," which I took at face value. However, two minutes later in the dream I told her, "You know, if I hadn't been so credulous, I would actually have realized at that point that I was dreaming," but STILL didn't realize I was dreaming. :-)

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.

mine would be my school that corridor is way too familiar and simple for the mind to make up.
