      i had heard in the past that it wasn't really possible to WILD unless you had already had a few sleep cycles. this was somewhat corroborated by what i had read about physiological sleep--that initially you go into a period of deep, dreamless sleep. it was also corroborated by the fact that everyone always talks about WILDs in a WBTB context. but i found this to be unacceptable, and wanted to be able to just lie down at any time of day, and be able to WILD, and it turns out it's very possible. WBTB is a huge advantage, because you don't have to work hard at the relaxation--it's already there for you. this method, with enough patience and dedication, will yield a near 100% success rate. there are times when i don't succeed, but that is generally because i have accidentally fallen asleep, or i am interrupted by someone/something. sometimes it can take up to two hours of lying in one place to actually get to the level of relaxation needed, but that it is typically the worst-case scenario.

      i do this as much as i possibly can, because i am also experimenting with the possibilities of astral projection, which apparently use almost exactly the same technique. some days i have too much going on in 'real' life, and am unable to...but i typically combine it in with my daily meditation practice (i.e. 10-20 minutes breath awareness, 30 minutes body awareness, body relaxation + breath awareness for as long as necessary, WILD).

      I wish I had found this guide earlier. I was attempting to WILD last night, and I had all these sensations, felt like I was going to sufficate so I woke myself up, then I tried again and was going deeper but I was really unsure what to expect next so I woke up once again, heh. I kept getting relaxed and my eyes would slip open unintentionally, that was odd.

      I'm going to try again tonight now that I have some knowledge on it

      By the way, is it normal to start feeling sensations early on? I'd estimate I start getting them after 5 minutes, 10 tops.

      yup, some people are lucky this way. it happens to me really fast occasionally as well...usually depends on how fatigued my body is. after a day of long/intense muay thai conditioning i can usually do it much faster.

      Hi,
      I recently had a WILD straight from going to bed. It took a few tries, but I got there.
      I must say be warned..I had a scary false awakening to start my Lucid..and I kept looking at my alarm clock which had red digits or was not there at all. (It has blue digits).
      This led me to get up and out of the room to a new place to continue a long lucid.
      Basically i want to try this procedure too, as regular WILDs are not that regular. Hehe.
      REALITY CHECK

      When I try to WILD, I use the reverse-blinking method and I get vibrations very quickly. Quick as in, about 20-30 seconds. Only gotten HI once or twice though, mainly because the first time I had this guy from some horror film whispering in my ear telling me how he was going to murder me, and the second time it was just screaming. Scared to get HI now ^^
