Thread: Please explain how to "roll out"

From my understanding, you just imagine rolling over without actually moving.. and if you are dreaming, you actually will roll over and out. I personally have never tried this since I think starting an LD like this would be quite freaky ;P

Also, the vibrations you're looking for happen while you are still awake, not while dreaming. I have never experienced them being painful. Although, it is possible to be in pain if you are tensing up. Just try to relax. If you are experiencing painful vibrations when you know you are dreaming, it's easy enough to make them stop ;P

Rolling out is my method of choice, sometimes it can feel like electric, sometimes the next day I'll have a little bit of pain in my neck from it. But if you try to relax your body fully and use very little force it shouldn't be painfull. Also once you are in a dream you can still feel vibrations, the less force you use to roll out the better. Also when I roll out, I do it the second I wake up from sleep, I think its easier that way. Sometimes rolling out wont work, so sometimes I try sinking through the bed, or imagine that someone is pulling me out, or use the vibrations to kinda make me float out.

You don't have to do it at the height of vibrations, sometimes I feel very minimal vibrations. After I roll out, and stand up and expect myself to be in a dream, and thats what happens.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I do not consider myself an expert on WILDing but from what i can get from DV and my own experiences, here is my theory. There are 2 types of WILDers. there are those who use HI or sensation or something to create a dream. and then just join the dream. Then there are people who treat it like a false awakening and start out just in their bed. for me, i do the second. i feel vibrations or a falling sensation and then it stops. i just sit up and look at my clock. after about 3 seconds something weird will happen and i will be lucid. so my WILDs all start with me in my bed. also, when i am first in my dream, my hands usually feel tingly or numb prickly at first. kind of like a tremor after the vibrations. so i think you have to find out what works best for you.

Method 1: make a scene
pros: dont have to start in bed, HI and sensations can be pretty cool
cons: you can fail while trying to draw yourself into HI and it can take longer

Method 2: just roll over or sit up
pros: it is easy to just sit up and not have to draw yourself into a dream
cons: if you are still awake when you sit up, you have to start over WILDing
