Thread: The Real (Easy) Way To WILD

What is with you guys and waking up after 5hrs? No one wants to ruin their sleep pattern by waking up in the middle/end of their sleep. Some may not be able to go back to sleep either, much like myself. I think it is a great method, because we are all different in the way we sleep. However for myself, I haven't seen a WILD tech yet where you didn't actually have to wake after ??. This kind of dissapoints me, but none the less I respect your method. So don't get me wrong when I wrote this, good work mate.

The reason we wake up after about five hours is because it makes induction much easier. It is known as WBTB (Wake Back to Bed). Some people can WILD before going to bed, but it is much harder. The pay off is not worth it either. The LD would be short and not as clear.

Also, after about five hours of sleep, your REM periods are much longer, allowing you to have longer, clearer LD's. In the beginning of the night, they are short.

Personally, I WBTB every night, and it doesn't affect me much, if at all.

Giving this a third shot.

6) There comes a point where you suddenly feel very light. You want the opposite to happen. At this point, you want to induce heaviness. Once you do, you should enter SP almost instantly (at least, that's what happens to me).

your answer

To help yourself induce the feeling of heaviness, imagine sand bags (or other heavy objects) are being tied to your joints. This should make it easier to induce the heaviness and speed up the process.

I never knew about this I will give this a shot for a week. are there any more ways to induce heaviness? at this point should you move your concentration from breathing now to the legs?

There are probably lots of ways to induce heaviness. Try to come up with your own, you'd probably find it easier with your own preferences. Here are some ideas:

• Imagine that you are so heavy that you start sinking into your bed. Visualize the sheets stretching.
• Imagine you are on a much bigger planet with a lot more gravity.
• Imagine yourself falling.

I've actually changed my process a bit. I don't need to induce heaviness or anything anymore. I guess it just gets easier after a few successes. I just enter SP quite easily and with little effort. Then I enter the dream.

However, I still sometimes have trouble with concentration. My mind is easily influenced by movies, books, etc. And sometimes I just can't take my mind off them. So I'm still a newbie in that aspect .

Please, continue to post your experiences! We can all learn from each other.

I haven't been in the mood for WILDing lately, but last night I tried a little bit, but just fell asleep. I'll try again though over the next few days actively, and see if it'll work.

I was able to WILD twice the other night. It's getting much easier to enter the dream. The only problem I have is staying concentrated some nights. It depends on what I did during the day.

Thanks for the WILD technique, it soulds a lot easier than trying in the morning sleeping in or going to sleep. I should have thought of this too but it escaped my thoughts as well!

How ca you make sure it isn't disruptive to your sleep pattern though? I'd use an alarm clock obviously and I can't know what stage of sleep I'll be in when it wakes me up. Does it matter?

I will try this technique

By doing WBTB a person has rested enough to stay awake, but is still tired enough to go to sleep. If a person tries to WILD when going to bed at night, they are often to tired and just fall asleep. If they try to WILD for an afternoon nap, then they are too awake. This is just generally speaking of course.
