DILD vs. WILD

My first three lucid dreams have been from WILD, which I find is an easy technique, it varies for different people since i've heard that this is the hardest. WILD is almsot a garentee for me to become lucid because even if i end up falling asleep i usually remember pretty quickly that im dreaming. I decided to take a break last night and ended up having two DILD's. These for me seem harder to have and i didn't stay lucid for as long. The frist one i just realized i was dreaming from doing an RC, which i noticed has been carried over from the waking world to my dreams, and looked at the ground. The clarity was pretty good, it was a normal lucid dream. The next DILD i had that night was a fasle awakening. It was so incredibly vivid and life like that i had a hard time beliveing my RC. The clock was messed up, so i remembered i wanted to look at wood in my dream. It was amazing, the grain of the wood, i ran my hand across it. That did it, i was about 95% sure i was awake, but that little voice kept coming back. I unlocked the door and went outside, even a little scared of what my parents would say about me leaving the house, if in fact i was awake. I ended up reading a banner and the words got all mixed up and made no sense. I ended up waking up not to long after that, but the dream was definantly the most vivid LD i've had yet.

WILD on the other hand, is alot easier for me to induce and i haven't had one yet that has been under a half hour atleast, the first one was 2 hours long! WEll i actually havn't had all tha tmuch expereince yet, but so far this is what iv'e found, (also this is just me, things go differently for other people). WILD seems to be the best way for me, because if i don't directly go into a dream from WILD im usually still concious enough from trying WILD that i realize im dreaming. I also had thought about what i wanted to do during WILD so it was fresh in my mind and i could do it in the dream. I seem to have alot more control in WILD and i am alot more concious.

Feel free to post your opinions, i'd like to hear from other people on this topic.[/quote]

That feeling is amazing. For some reason my DILDs are also incredibly

vivid and clear. I remember spending a lot of time just examining dream

world, shocked by it's "reality"

and what is a DILD :oops:

A DILD is a Dream Initiated Lucid Dream. It's like when you realize you're dreaming in a dream because of an inconcistency, for no apparent reason, or from a dreamsign.

I can finally comment on this after having some WILD experience :D

So far... a WILD has nothing on some of the DILD's I've had before.
Not all of them of course... but I seem to notice inconsistencies in my most vivid of dreams sometimes

Really have gotta go to bed... I'm getting spinning and falling feelings in front of the computer now :shock: ...

What was more vivid, WILD or DILD?

Congradulatoins on the first WILD, how was it...i'd have to say that my first WILD which was also my first lucid was the best i've had yet and had most control in that one.

DILD's are harder for me to accomplish all the time. WILD's seem to work better, cause I was just awake, and even if I lose lucidity, I seem to catch on .oO(Hey. Wasn't I just lying down?)
