Thread: Adam's WILD Technique!

Thanks Clairity, I had another one (actually quite a few that didn't last a second) this morning using the W.I.L.D. technique once again, but now I am having trouble controlling them

But I did manage to get to the 'scene selection stage' after spinning around (rather violently, lol) to maintain Lucidity. But I need to train myself to remain calm when trying to control what happens next. I always rush into trying to make something happen and end up startling my paralyzed body. But I know it takes time and practice... then I can know what its like to be in 'the matrix'

WolfeDreamer, every failure is "learning experience"!

It sounds like you know what to do (i.e., slow down).. you just have to remember to do it!
May your lucids only get better and longer!

I hope for the best too.
Remember on a realistic note too....
Your mind doesn't want you to Lucid Dream.
I found this after first having a few lucids.
You seem to go stagnant. Change tactics and get tricky with your mind.
Start thinking of clever ways you would not normally think of.
In reality you have the sense to be obscure and tricky...
your mind will try trick you in LDs, so you need to train yourself to trick it too.

Thanks guys... Yeah you're both right about how the body 'AND' the mind alike both seem to do everything they can to prevent your consciousness from staying aware and alert in a dream state. I've read you're WILD technique Clairity and have noticed in my short journey (I'm on day 5) of Lucid Dreaming that one's body will do certain 'tests' to determine whether or not you are awake when entering the waking stage.

Like yesterday and this morning when I was attempting a WILD, I noticed how my body continued to itch in a trillion different spots at different times, the pains in my heel (calcaneus fracture) were on !BLAST! when I was laying on my back forcing me to reposition myself, and that I was overwhelmed with urges to just move/stretch my arms, legs, ect.

I've also noticed that when in a dream the mind tries to 'absorb' you into it. Like when I mentioned the black SUV in my 2nd Lucid Dream, I failed to address the fact that there was a very small thought in my head telling me that the SUV wanted to do me harm. But since I was about %99.99 (soon to be a %100) sure that I was dreaming, I ignored the SUV and proceeded to fly. And a lot of times I do enter a dream state through one of my 'abstract' thoughts and have trouble determining wheter it is a dream or a thought b/c of how fast I entered the dream state.

But I guess, even with practice, the mind will still keep you on your toes at all times when attempting to Lucid Dream...
