Thread: Need some suggestions, WILD after sleep deprivation

I only slept 6 hours two days ago, and I didn't sleep last night and I've never had much luck with wild's, and I expect myself to crash pretty fast after I lie down, so, basic wild tips I can use?

Good luck dude i tried sleep deprivation i only made to the 19th hour and gave up yes im a weakling. lol

I dont know if you're going to be able to WILD while sleep deprived man, you're probably going to end up crashing. But in any case, just apply the basic WILD principles which are remaining completely still while taking slow, deep breaths until you reach SP. Here's a post of mine for extra detail (disregard step 1):

1. Devote at least 2 hours (or more) to WILDing.

2. Remember your goal (where you want to go, what you want to do, etc).

3. Dismiss any other thoughts and focus only on taking slow, deep breaths.

4. Remain COMPLETELY still, no matter what.

5. Try to steer clear of straying/abstract thoughts when entering SP (random/abstract thoughts means that the logical part of your brain is falling asleep, dont let it!). (they can also cause you to enter a non-Lucid Dream which would make all this work was for nothing!)

6. Dont fight or resist SP in any way / stay relaxed and calm when it begins to happen.

7. Continue to focus only on your (slow, deep) breathing as vibrations, Hypnagogic Imagery, and auditory hallucinations become more intense from SP.

(you can focus on and/or visualize your goal once you think you've got the breathing part down packed).

8. Continue step 7 until you feel that sudden rush of falling through your bed or through the ceiling (in my case); this should mean that SP is complete, and hence you are ready to dream.

9. If you are not already in a dream scene, then spin around or rub your hands together (or both) in order to conjure up one. Doing this can also stabilize a fading/blurry dream scene.

There you have it, those are pretty much all the steps I take when Im attempting a WILD. And if it doesnt work the first time, remember that it takes time so dont give up! I know it seems like a lot, but once you've been through it many times, you will become better and better at it.

I wouldn't recommend sleep depriving your self.

Instead just wake up really early for 3 days in a row. Say 4 am.

This will deprive your body of only the REM sleep.

Then on the 4th day sleep in as long as you want. Preferably till 10am or more.

Your body should overcompensate for the lack of REM sleep on the past few days and give you a ton of it.

Also your body will think you should be awake since you woke up early the previous 3 days. This will put you in a prime condition for multiple lucid dreams.

I like this idea im gonna try it Just wondering how well doe's it work? And how many hour's of sleep should you get the first few night's ?

Ive did a 3 times and had multiple lucids seemingly all morning long each time.
I learned it by diong it by accident. Like on a busy or travel weekend.

Waking up at 4 am for 2-3 nights should starve your body of enough REM to get a really good REM rebound overload.
