Thread: Wild Lie???

So I'm trying to get lucid for more than one year... I got really far, but there is this thing with the wild. I always tried it for fun and now it's really easy for me to get SP, but after that ... it's like waiting for some magic to happen...
I always lie there and get many weird feeling, but when I think, that I now maybe could enter a dream... nothing happens.
It's not that I focused to much or to less... I tried everything.
Is the cake... I mean, Is the Wild a lie?
I hope you can help me to learn the trick.

PS: Does someone beside me have problems with looking in the 3d darkness(or how was it called) to enter a dream? When I try it, it's getting really hard to keep my eyes closed, so I can't really focus.

No wild is not a lie. Jeez.

ok ok... then what can I do? It seems like I reched a wall since a few month

Perhaps you just weren't in an REM phase. Try doing it at different times in your sleep cycle. This has been said to death all over the forum, but if you try WILD when you first go to sleep, you'll end up waiting about 90 minutes for the dream to start and it won't last very long anyway. So always do it after a WBTB.

I don't know if this is true but i've heard a dozen of times here at the forum that u also should try WILDing when u nap because u instantly enter the REMcycle. As i said don't know if it's true. Is somebody up to clearing this up for us?

Yeah, it's the thing with the REM periods. If you arent in one, you can't enter a dream. Because the dream is there in the REM periods. So there's nothing to 'jump' into. You should combine it with a WBTB (Wake back to bed) meaning you go to sleep, sleep for a few hours (I think it's 5-6 hours that's suggested.) then get up, and stay up for 10 - 60min and go back to sleep and attempt the WILD. Hopefully, you should be able to see and hop into the 3d picture.

Note that I've still not had my first lucid, let alone a successful WILD! But good luck to you! Keep trying, it will work!
