      Question Starting Out

      Hi, I'm Wesley Gray. I'm new around here. Though I've made a few attempts at lucid dreaming, none were too serious or prepared. I have started dream journalling and my recall is pretty good. I'm trying to formulate a plan for every night. Since I'm a beginner I am thinking about using WBTB with MILD to bring success. I was hoping you could look over my plan and offer suggestions, comments, and/or inspiration for a beginner like me.

      1. Go to be at midnight. Use MILD.
      2. Wake up at 5:30.
      3. Read materials about lucid dreaming, and watch a video on lucidity. Write down any dreams I might have.
      4. Go back to bed. Use MILD.
      5. Set an "alarm" for 7:00 on my cell phone that quietly plays "you are dreaming", so I won't wake up, but it might help me get dreaming.
      6. Lucidity?

      Thanks for the help.

      Cheers,

      Wesley Gray

      make sure u dont get TOO awake when you wake up... but thinking/reading about lucidity is a good thing to do. honestly, if you ask me, id take out the aalarm that says you're dreaming part. i was trying that for a while too... but i would either just straight up wake up because of it, or i would totally ignore it in my dream(like not even hear it).. thats my advice.... and also i would MILD only when you first go to bed, and when you WBTB, try a full out WILD..

      Question Using WILD

      I tried using the WILD+WBTB strategy last night. I kept at it for a while, I don't know how long. My body was shaking and numb, my heart was racing, and it seemed hotter. I could not however, get my body to fall asleep? Am I at least starting things out right? I think since I used WBTB and was up for thirty-fourty minutes, I might have been to awake too much? Should I try only staying up for five and then doing WILD? Suggestions please .

      Cheers,

      Wesley Gray

      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      You only need ask.

      Die, to this routine. Spontaneity is key.
      Then throw that key, as you realise you are already lucid.

      yes. ur at a great start. lol. but if you felt that falling asleep took too long and u couldnt do it, an even shorter WBTB time would most likely help. u need to keep on testing stuff out, and see whats best for you. and by what u said (body numb, heart racing), it sounds like you couldve already been under the effects of sleep paralysis... idk. i hope i help
