Thread: Attain Sleep Paralysis and Lucid Dreaming within about 20 minutes!

I think the first technique sound plausible. I'm gonna try it with WBTB tomorrow morning. I'll just lie in my bed on my side for 15-20 minutes trying not to fall asleep, then change to lying on my back and try to WILD. I'll report back if it works.

The first method oddly makes sense.

Ive never had a lucid dream before. I have like 2 months trying but i know im gonna have one pretty soon. Im so exited to try out method 1 tonight!!
Good luck to everyone!!

Tried method 1 and I was unsuccessful. Don't let this be discouraging to you if you read this post. It may work wonders for you. It didn't work for me.

WILDs are when you make yourself wake up at a certain time, which will keep your brain up while your body falls back asleep. Method 2 is just making your body fall asleep. WILDs are only WILDs if they have that specific process done. (not method 2)

That is similar to what happened to me last night. I was trying to visualize to get myself asleep. (It's something my psychic friend taught me. Relax, imagine seeing something you hate, and then imagine getting rid of it. Then, think of stuff like flying. My advice towards that... While you're getting rid of whatever and then flying in your visualization, think of the feelings, like the wind.) I was trying to get to sleep, but I kept getting over-heated, but I didn't want to sleep completely out of the covers because I get scared and it makes me feel unprotected.

The first method seems like it would work well to fall asleep, in general. I do something similar every time I go to sleep. I begin by lying on my back, an uncomfortable position that is not my normal sleeping position. I then roll onto my side (my normal sleeping position) to fall asleep. I do this same routine in my WILDs. I start on my back, run through some relaxation and dreaming meditations, then roll onto my side to make it easy to transition to the dream.

The second method sounds bogus. I've never bought into the "trick your body" kind of WILDs. They just plain don't work and don't make sense logically.

In that case use the rhythm napping timer from the saltcube website. I Had a LD first time I used the timer.

First method: Awesome I'm going to try it! Second method: rip off of countless tutorials

I have had success with trick your body methods many times! Only during naps at around 4:00pm-6:00pm. My fastest SP was probably only a couple of minutes via Jeff's tutorial. I guess it varies... But don't say they don't work or make sense... They do work.

Actually the first method is a rip-off too. It's from the lucidology (saltcube) videos. The videos are good by the way, but I have yet to try this technique.

10-15 min and 5-20 sec?
Really? I can lay like that for at least 2 hours...

I should rephrase that. I know they work for some people. I just don't believe they work for the reasons claimed. Lying still and falling asleep while maintaining a focus on anything has the potential to give you a lucid dream. The idea that you can force your body into REM sleep simply by not moving, however, is silly.

I can too. I think it works better for people who fall asleep very easily. Also not being relaxed enough can cause this.

Actually, I was thinking of the disconfort. It seems like an awfull short time to be in pain just from lying on your back, no matter how still or how hard the floor. I guess I'm (we're) weird that way.

I have has 7 wilds using method 1. method 2 was only succesful for a blurry, and unstable dild. Also I got this info from an old and un popular book called "Lucid Dreaming and how it Works" which was written in 1983. It's good book, if you can find it, you should read it.

That's an understatement for Method 2... there are some people in this world who ditch the bed and sleep on the floor

This technique sounds like it might work. I'm going to try it tonight during WBTB.

I just found out that method 2 will never work. Edited.

I've never had a lucid dream, but the most vivid and realistic dreams I've had are on the floor. It's so uncomfortable that it keeps me on the verge of awareness. I think this could work.

Yer with method 1, i dunno if I'm the only 1 out there but i don't find sleeping on the ground uncomfortable all that much? i can sleep pretty much anywhere :/

I can also sleep pretty much anywhere, but if given a choice between the ground and a bed, I'd definitely go for the bed.

I tryed last night, i went into bed, had a little burst of SP, but it weared off again, it was like i felt i was very warm or something, and i had some dream i woke up from, cant remember anything, woke up and forgot to write down >

You didn't discover this, you got this shit from Lucidology 101 or something.

Fucking fraud.
