      Wake Back to Bed Method?

      So I have yet to achieve lucidity in any dreams

      And I'm trying to WILD a lot, as I have not had enough preperation for a DILD.

      I'm curious, is the WBTB method required for a successful WILD? I mean, I understand that after sleeping for 3-6 hours it'll help up the chances of you jumping straight into REM, but I want to know if it's possible without.

      For instance, after a normal week-day at school (I know, "lulz he's young"), is it possible to lie in bed at your normal time for bed and succesfully WILD; and in turn achieve SP and possibly a LD?
      Thanks

      Typically, it is very difficult (aka impossible) for most people to WILD when first going to bed. It is not unheard of. Everyone keeps different schedules, and sleeps differently. Unless you have reason to assume this is a good time for you to WILD, I would stick with the WBTB method. You are probably just making things more difficult for yourself.

      If you only have time when you first go to bed, try focusing your intent with autosuggestion. It can be surprisingly effective.

      Yeah, it depends, I know I have an odd sleep schedule, so . . .

      Yeah, I'm not trying to say it is impossible for everyone

      I know some people have success with it early in the night. I just don't know if it is something you can force upon yourself. This has always seemed like something you should work with yourself on. Use whatever your natural rhythim is, instead of forcing a new one on yourself.
