Thread: WBTB Failure.

I tried 3 times last night and failed WBTB. I couldnt stay focused the first time. the other two just didnt work. I was repating to myself I would know I was dreaming, I was thinking of a very vivid dream scene and I dont even remember a normal dream after that.

That's always discouraging Just keep trying. I am so bad at WBTB but every once in a while it works. I also imagine a vivid dream scene and I find it helps a lot. I see the dream scene appear and I run into it.

haha Im a little discouraged all around... I cant get anything to work again but Im still tryin

Don't be discouraged. I've had so many times when I almost gave up and then suddenly bam I'd have a LD. Eventually I made a rule with myself to never let myself feel discouraged again. I still miss dream signs, I still have failed WILDs but now I just laugh at and learn from them.

Just keep at it. Keep doing RCs, keep recalling and recording your dreams, and keep analysing yourself and trying different things. Try stimulating your brain with some logic puzzles during your WBTB. I find that really helps but the WBTB must be done after at least 5 hours sleep. I also find the CAT method very successful.

It will all be worth it when you have your next LD!

yeah I always make sure Ive had enough sleep before I try. Ill try the puzzles too thanks for the tip. My recall has went from at least 2-3 dreams a night to almost nothing, just bits of a dream the last few nights...

Make sure you wear a sleep mask. That makes a huge difference to dream recall.

Woah! So is that a wbtb? Imagining a vivd dream scene and then dreaming about what you imagined? I've been trying to do something like that for several days but with no success.

How do you fail a WBTB???

I'm just confused. To WBTB all you do is wake up. So I'm wondering how you could fail that. Did you mean WILD?

I just didnt go lucid..I am not sure why...
