Thread: New technique of WILD, abtain lucidy..

You don't have to have you eyes completely open. You want to have it confrontably open so your eyes don't go all red. If you are actively looking out of your eyes, instead of day dreaming then your doing it fine.

You should watch out of your eyes and then your in the dream.

Yeah are we supposed to avoiding blinking or just avoid the twitching? I imagine not blinking would hurt.

You can blink alright and you can twitch. If your eyes hurt then close them a little, however do not close your eyes completely.

Wendylove could you explain your exp. if you dont mind... start from wen ur vision blacked out. Plz and thank you

Well, I had my eyes semi open and it started to close and open. I then started to hear voices and then I blanked out and was in a vivid dream and then became lucid.

P.S. I have also tried this without wbtb and it is really strange. It is like you body gets bent like someone pushing energy into you, then everything blacks out. You don't dream, however you hear voices like you where just in talking to someone. Then again, sometimes you do dream.

wait. were supposed to try this with wbtb? or without?

The eye twiching is obviously common and is going to happen, try and focus your mind on somethings else. But still be aware of what you eyes are focusing on, if you keep your eyes open for a while, even if they start to sting (wich they will), then they will start to water, after that.. It's fine and will not sting aneymore.. Just keep going evrybody. Youw ill get the hang of it soon

sounds interesting...I'd like to think this can help me WILD

but at what point do your eyes close? is it a conscious movement...or simply happens without you knowing?

This sounds promising . I will have to try it, ill post my results.

I got that last night for the first time!
I was staring at the ceiling and I saw the usual sparks, blobs and circles i get when I close my eyes, fade in over the real things I was seeing.

My brain probably thought it was so dark, and since I was staring at a fixed point, that my eyes were closed.

And I had the first dream recall in a long time this morning, awesome, very realistic.

I once had to practice staying for several minutes withotu blinking for this exposition at school (it was like those living statues, but I actually had to pretend I was dead xD), so I'm used to it. It took me only one day or practice to get really good at it heh.

I think I would be afraid of damaging my eyes.

All right. If I only need my eyes partially open, and only for ten seconds or so, that sounds doable. I'll keep the active thing in mind.

WILDs work much better with WBTB because your REM periods are longer and more vivid as your night's sleep progresses. When you first fall asleep, you barely dream.

I am most definitely trying this tonight.
I've known about vision blacking out forever. (It happens to me every night within a matter of seconds when I am first going to sleep), I've just never thought about using it to induce a lucid dream.
This sounds most interesting, thank you for posting it up.

Sounds really good, might try tonight. I have experienced the blacking out before while doing the tricking your body to fall asleep but it faded back in after a few seconds.

It's kind of hard for me, I fell asleep without even knowing and so I didn't become lucid . Ill try tonight but focused on staying awake more and to stop my eyes from closing .

hey ive almost done that before! i was staring at nothing in my dark room and everything started blacking out. Then i got to the colors. I didnt even think to try and become lucid from it though it sounds like a very cool and unique technique
