Thread: Sooooooo.........

Good luck moe.

Tonight Im gonna try to WILD with Seeker's TEchnique.

If you get passed like 200, I think you might want to stop the counting and just slowly say to yourself I am dreaming.

I also don't really see HI or colors, and I was very close to a SP once but I freaked out. But still I saw no real shapes or anything.

If all else fails you might want to try some B6? It sounds like your doing alot, so just keep trying.

Usually when I count I go to maybe 10 or 20 and then reverse back to 1 and so on. Not as many syllables and doesn't keep my mind too awake. The reverse does keep the mind awake a bit...just not enough to stop me from dreaming. It's easy for me to get SP this way. Sp is weird because for me it seems like I can't even swallow.

Sometimes I'll realize that I've been counting gibberish and dreaming then I'll continue the count and try to find where the edge of the dream comes in. I will figure it out one of these days.

I haven't wilded yet either, so take my advice with a grain of salt. Remember when counting that the numbers don't really matter. They're only to keep your mind occupied and aware as you fall asleep. Don't stress about remembering exactly where you left off when you get sidetracked. I've found that counting only the thirties is the most relaxing for me. When I started, I would go up to 150 before I got sick of it and gave up. It was keeping me too awake. Now, I've been drifting off without actually WILDing, but it's still better than laying awake for 2 hours. It does give me some fairly good non-lucids. Also, for me, repeating "I'm dreaming" only keeps me more awake so I can't fall asleep.

Moe, have you tried brainwave entrainment? I've used it since I started trying to WILD, and have noticed that when I don't use it, I don't get so strong vibrations. If you have a PSP that you can play homebrew on, try getting the Portable Meditation Engine from PSPupdates.com. Or you can get Brainwave Generator for use on your computer. There are lucid dreaming presets you can download for that one. For the PSP, I use my own that takes me down from 8 Hz to 4 really fast, then slowly back up to 6, then fast down to 4. I'm still tweaking it. I think 8 Hz may be too much. It wakes me up.

Well, the MILD didn't work because I couldn't remember my dream. Of course, I'm just beginning to get my recall back up to what it used to be (1-3 dreams remembered a night. Right now I can't even remember one full dream.)

I think I might try a FILD instead of WILD, I got a (half) success with that one.
