Assignment: Students will practice at least three different relaxation techniques during their WILD attempts which they will detail in their workbooks. After each attempt they will discuss which things may or may not have been helpful and why.
I usually relax etremely well with just daydreaming. That's why I made little attempts on other techniques. Using breathing technique I didn't have much success. When I don't employ my mind I'm very susceptible to distractions (mostly from within my mind). I was going to use meditation today but as you can read nothing went as planned. In the past however I've used it to decent effect. All different kind of point-relaxation techniques seem an overkill as I don't have any trouble relaxing as it is.

Assignment: Students will describe in detail any experiences they have had with HH and SP in the past, noting any recurring themes or experiences. During their WILD attempts they will practice being consciously aware of HH and SP without jolting themselves awake.
On the both successes on WILDs I've had, I've experienced some HH and heard the loud sound some people talk about. I don't remembering experiencing SP while WILDing, however I woke up once from a dream and was awake on my bed paralyzed. My HH had varied greatly from just shapes to really detailed scenery. There's also have been varying amounts of background noise. I've heard big number of people talking and sometimes I hear some music.

Assignment: Students who have successfully transitioned to a WILD (preferably during the course of the class, but past experiences are valuable as well) will describe in detail how they transitioned into the dream. They will make mention of any techniques which they could use in future attempts that would help the stabilize the dream. If you have never had a successful WILD by the end of the course, you may skip this assignment.
I already described my earlier WILDs in my previous post. They were unorthodox to say the least, but I have 100 % success rate with that technique, not that I recommend it to anyone. But like I said in previous post, I could try similar style after sleeping more shortly than usual, but I've not had great success in the past.
