WILD Dream Journal

9/17 - 3 consecutive WILDs

Today marks the first day in months that I woke up feeling like I made significant progress with WILD.

The night started normal. I told myself to wake up around 6am after my REM cycle. I found myself awake around 6:30. I made my way down to the computer and browsed the web for about 40 minutes. Went back up to bed and put on my sleep mask and put in my earplugs.

Tonight I decided it would be my focus to attempt multiple dream stabilization techniques. After a moderate wait I felt HI followed by a white transition. Remembering my focus I opened my eyes right after my transition and looked at my hand. My hand was very clear. I traced the outline with my eyes and began shaking my hand. Shortly after shaking my hand I found myself awake inside my bed.

My body was deep in SP. My thoughts remained passive and shortly after awakening I began experiencing a second round of HI followed by another flash of white. I opened my eyes and found myself in a very groggy state. I held my arm up and examined it. My arm was very clear but at the wrist there was a thick transparent line followed by a very blurry outline which resembled my fist. I tried to focus in on my fist but my attempt was unsuccessful. I soon found myself awake again with a strong feeling of SP.

I stayed calm and clear minded and experienced a 3rd round of HI followed by another white transition. after this transition I opened my eyes and found myself laying in a bed inside a room a didn't recognize. I walked over the the window, the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I looked at the ground which I guessed was around 4 stories below me. Then jumped out of the window and began flying upwards in a slow spin. After reaching a comfortable height I paused and looked at the ground. I was in a neighborhood that consisted of multiple houses and a road connecting them. While I was pausing I remembered my intention when I fell asleep. I decided to spin. I dove at the ground as fast as I could, spinning as quickly as possible. I imagined I was a drill and upon hitting the ground I began tunneling into the earth. My speed slowed down significantly after reaching the ground but my drilling remained consistent. I was dropping foot by foot into the earth and upon reaching a depth where I could see little sunlight I burst back into the sky.

I stopped at a treeline and saw what appeared to be a helicopter. I began flying over to the helicopter in hopes that I could find a pilot I could speak to. As I began approaching the helicopter it became clear that it was a car that was driving down a hill. As I got closer the car began shooting objects at me. I began dodging them and saw a man inside the car who was aiming at me. The inside of the car was lit up with neon lights and was filled with gauges. I flew back to make dodging easier and began launching projectiles out of my hand trying to hit the car.

The projectiles that were coming out of my hand were small but after hitting the car a couple times the car exploded into a massive fireball. As the explosion approached me I closed my eyes and imagined Paris. I opened my eyes and found the explosion even larger and still coming in my direction. I remained calm and began humming a song. I imagined Paris again and after opening my eyes I found myself in a black void. It was peaceful and shortly after opening my eyes I found myself awake in my bed. This time when I woke up I had to much excitement to remain clear minded. I found thoughts racing through my mind so I got up.


In the future I am going to try to remain calm when my dreams end and transition back into them. The experience I had last night gave me a nice motivational boost.

Notes: Sleep mask, earplugs - no background noise. WBTB 40 minutes @ 6:30am

9/15 - Short WILD

Used WBTB for about 45 minutes after waking up at 6

After laying down it took awhile to reach imagery. After reaching imagery the first time I paid to much attention to it and set myself back a bit, the next couple times the same thing happened but after a few tries I made it to a transition. My transition was a flash of white followed by the pattern that is on my blanket. I kept my eyes closed, letting the imagery fade and tried to let my dream stabilize before attempting anything. After waiting for about a minute in a black void I opened my dream eyes and found myself in a bed wrapped in covers. The images were very groggy, as I stood up I kept repeating clarity and my dream became noticeably more vivid but nothing like the level of detail I've experienced in the past. Next to the bed was a large bay window and outside of the window sat 4 empty beach chairs fully reclined on a concrete patio that was surrounded by trees. I decided I wanted to go outside so I tried to walk through the window. My attempt was unsuccessful so I walked back and ran into the window trying to pass through it. This time I slammed into the window, again failing to pass through it. As this happened people appeared outside of the window and began walking towards me. They were nonthreatening and seemed to wonder why I was running into the window. As I began to think about how to pass through the window my dream faded without me noticing and I could hear the familiar sound of my bedroom fan.

After this WILD I attempted two more. Both attempts failed and I slipped into non-lucid dreams that were very odd. One involved a FA that I never acknowledged until waking up and the other involved a group of people and a car pulling up to me demanding that I get in. After declining and walking away I had a small child tell me it was time to go on my journey and that I needed to go with the car.

Both the dreams were very thought provoking and while I did not experience the best WILD the dreams that came following the WILD were well worth the effort put into the attempts.


Notes: WBTB 45 minutes @ 6am, sleep mask, ear plugs, fan

9/4 - WILD inside house

Woke up this morning around 7 and worked on homework for roughly 2 hours. After I finished a section I decided to attempt WILD so I made my way to bed and tried to fall asleep.

This WILD went very smoothly. Kept myself well anchored and made a nice transition into a dream. The imagery I experienced was from a video game. I "interacted" or influenced it and snapped into my dream in a flash of white light.

I kept still for about 30 seconds to make sure my dream was stable and opened my eyes. I was inside my bed with the covers over my head. I could see the covers and they were well lit. I used this as a reality check because I knew that when I opened my eyes I should see black because I have a sleep mask. As I was getting up from the bed I felt my dog laying by my side. I moved her and got out of bed.

I walked over to the railing (long wooden railing) and jumped up onto it, slid down and at the bottom I did a double back flip off it. There were two ceiling fans at the bottom of the railing that are not in my house, I noted them as I walked around the corner into the dining room. The dining room was empty in the center (has a large table) and it was carpeted. The carpet was maroon in color with a square pattern. There was a hutch in the far side of the wall that I also noted as I walked past.

I went into the kitchen and saw a meal being made. There was corn on the cob boiling inside a pot and two on top of the pot, there were two steaks on top of a broil tray. I thought it looked very good and right as I was about to walk away I decided I've never eaten anything in my dream and Id like to try. I grabbed a piece of corn and took a bite out of it. My mouth was watering and I remember the taste of butter. I thought to myself, this must be hot i'll save it for later! I kept it in my hand and began walking to the porch area and as I rounded the corner my dream faded instantly.

Notes: Light mask, ear plugs WBTB (2 hours)
