Thread: I'm going to try and WILD, but..

My question is, is it too hard to WILD the first time you go to sleep for the night?

sorry for my ignorance, but why is being a deep sleeper a problem? do you mean you have trouble waking up after 5-6 hours or staying awake for 60-90 minutes or something? reply and i'll help ya, but i can sorta see where this is going. my advice. don't be lazy and get up.

well as for your question. not that i know of. WILD is just hard in general.

Alarm clock and a desire to WILD should help. I don't stay awake near that long when I wake up. Usually just getting up and going to the bathroom is enough - when I get back to bed I try WILD.

The problem with WILD's at the beginning of the night you are not in the right stage of your sleep cycle to dream. That is, you are not going to go straight into REM sleep. You may be able to have an extremely short "dreamlet" but that's probably it.

If your schedule would revolve better around taking a napp during the day as apposed to staying up for 60 to 90 minutes, then this may be an effective alternative for you to induce a lucid dream.
For many, napping has proven to be a very effective approach to incubating a lucid dream.

I tend to have small dreams when I go to sleep at night, I think that last night I had my first lucid dream within the first 15 mins of going to sleep. Didn't last long though. I agree that afternoon naps are good too, give them a go.
