My first attempt at WILD.

Ok I went to sleep at about 10:30pm and woke up after one of my dreams at about 2:21am. I wrote my dream down in my journal, used the bathroom, got some juice, and checked my blood sugar.(Btw I was wondering if being diabetic affected anything with lucid dreaming. I have had lucid dreams before though.) So I started attempting my WILD. I never saw any HI or anything but I did notice myself falling kinda into something without moving, but I would snap out of it as it was happening on accident. I prolly laid there completly still for about 2 hours. My mind was completly awake and my body was not that tired. Then after the 2 hours I went and moved onto my stomach(I was laying on my back) and fell asleep in like 3 minutes. This morning I remembered my dream. Now I was wondering about the diabetic thing and if I did anything wrong.

I don't think diabetes has anything to do with lucid dreaming as long as you keep everything where it should be as your doctor directed.

What WILD technique did you try?

The one where I just relax and try to imagine myself in my previous dream while still paying attention to breathing and telling my self over and over again that I will become lucid. Im not sure which technique it is.

well 2 hours is WAY TOO LONG for a WILD. i can tell you that right now. pre-cursors to SP (sleep paralysis) ie; coldness in feet or extremities, muscle spasms, auditory hallucinations (hearing noises in your head) should kick in about 15-25, 35 minutes max. After that its usually a feeling of being lightness to ur physical body, like losing feeling but not a numbness. I can only describe it as being "Distant & Distached". Somewhere between all that i usually get an itch somewhere on my body, its like my body is testing to see if I'm still awake. It always f*ckin happens. If this happens to you, its best u ignore it. The last part after that is what i call "The Buzzing". Its exactly what it sounds like. Your entire body feels like a vibrator and you enter the dream sequence. After that its all down hill. BTW everyone is different. sometimes some of these steps wont even happen and you'll just find yourself in the Dreamscape. And as far as being diabetic, iduno ask ur doctor. P.S this is my account on my WILD's and the steps is how they happened to me in chronological order. But remember, everyone is different. The best tip i can give you is this. The most important thing to a succesful WILD is that ur in a comfortable position.

You probably werent real confortable on your back
Try WILDing on your stomach next time.
I promise you that you'll see a difference
