Thread: WILD'ing Question

@WolfeDreamer531
How did to time how long it took you to fall asleep if you have to keep your eyes closed and remain perfectly still?

Also, when you feel the vibrations, does your body visibly vibrate?

And do you think I could do a WILD in a room with a parrot and 2 cats?

On a good day I can get it in about 45 minutes maybe. Sometimes it takes longer, but if you practice this then you will become used to remaining perfectly still.

No, I dont think so. I wouldnt know for sure. But vibrations are just a sensation you experience during the onset of Sleep Paralysis.

It depends on how bad you want it. The day before yesterday, I did a WILD while one of my neighbors was cutting his grass outside!

Unless you have mischievous, schizophrenic cats like I did... I wouldnt count on it.

All right, well this was weird. Either that or I accidentally invented a new technique.

I got up at about 4:30 AM but stayed awake until the sun started to rise. I then attempted your WILD technique. But here's the weird part: I had an LD, actually two, but I can't remember how I got them!

The deep breaths alone caused my mind to wander a lot, so I tried counting along with taking deep breaths. Somewhere between 40 and my LD I can't remember what happened. What I think happened was I got very relaxed and tired, my mind strayed, and that kind of did a DEILD or VILD.

Now, after the first LD ended, I can't remember if it ended with an FA or not. I do know that I re-entered the dream in a similar manner. The second one was one of my longer ones and it took place in a similar setting to the first one. I lost lucidity at first but then got lucid after seeing my swingset which got sold last year and is no longer there in RL.

Basically, what I think I did was use the breathing and counting to get myself very relaxed, and that half-asleep point allowed one of my wandering thoughts to become an LD.

Odd. I will try it again tomorrow morning. Thanks for it; it did get me somewhere with WILD.
