Thread: How to VILD before bed??

Before you go to bed, you are SO far from an REM cycle and all dreams are during REM cyles, so doing a VILD before bed would REALY suck. If I'm not mistaken, you'd be waiting for several hours before you get to have a Lucid Dream.

Can't VILD before bed. WILD Tutorial Jump to the V-WILD section

Bleh, I think I might be partially responsible for this.

From now on, I don't think i'm gonna mention that it is "possible" to do so out of normal LD time because that isn't gonna hold true for the people i'm talking to.

Recently (as in, like half a year or so) I've just been pointing people to time tuts or saying "just do it at DEILD time because saying "Well, potentially anytime" is counter-productive >.<

arby's tutorial is on the first page here somewhere.

And in my sig =)

On that note, at the very end in the FAQ can you edit something out for me seeing as I am *well* past the edit grace period for that thread XD

When can this work?

Anywhere and anytime you can totally zone out. Although it will not be nearly as effective or as easy, you could do it sitting on your lazy ass in front of the computer.

I don't feel akin to that anymore

Ok, I'll take it out for you.

I can testify to that.
My first attempt to wild was as soon as I went to bed.
Ended up staring into blackness for hours.

Do it the in the same way you would normally do it. The difference is that it is much, much more difficult.

Yeah, so much so that it shouldn't be even thought about by newbies =/

Well, I would personally be disinclined to discourage newbies from aiming high, but in practice, you are right. It would be highly unlikely to be realistically achievable within the attention span of someone whose post consists of "HOw do you do it????????".

Well somebodys a little harsh. . . And besides I was wiped out
