Thread: WBTB times and WILD

so i had a WILD last night. It was pretty cool. but what was cool about it wasnt the content of the dream, but how easy it was to actually accomplish. See usually when i WILD, i wake up after like 4 to 4 1/2 hours of sleep to do my WBTB, but this time i woke up after 6 1/2 or 7. I wasnt planning on trying for a LD, i was just resting my eyes before i got up. My mind wasnt clouded in the slightest like it usually is after 4 hours of sleep. I didnt have to fight to keep conciousness. So i sat there, relaxed, and all of a sudden without warning i went into the vibrations. They suprised me cause i didnt even feel them coming on. Like, usually i can feel my heart rate start to go up when the vibrations are close, but this time, they just came without warning. After a few minutes, i entered the dream, and had a pretty cool dream.

I just thought it was interesting on how easy it was to WILD after being pretty well rested. I always thought it was good to be tired, because suposedly that means you are closer to REM which is the dreaming stage. But then i thought it over a bit and i was wrong. see the way the sleep cycle works, you end up being in a really light sleep, right before you enter REM, which is where you dream. (im not going to go into the sleep cycle in this post, it takes too long ) So i guess a good clue to how easy your WILD is going to be that night, is how awake you feel right when you wake up from your WBTB. I also remembered that the longer you sleep, the longer you stay close to, or in REM sleep as the night goes on.

So maybe the best time to try a WILD, would be after you have already slept a long time, instead of after just a couple of hours, or at the begining of the night. just thought i would share that with you guys, and see if anyone had any thoughts on the subject.
