      Practical natural WILD

      Their are many gaps in the information I present

      WILD

      From what I have studied and practiced.
      A simple way to work with the body, and mind

      Meditation analysis

      Most laymen know , "Meditation? ahh clear the mind? simple!"

      Picking some of this apart I'll lay upon you what I find to be true for myself and substantially universal for much who deeply practice

      As you attempt to WILD, forget about WILD. It's sleep time.
      Take the time, clear your mind
      Rest and relax your body.
      Position yourself much like you're just going to bed.

      Now what you're attempting , is to be aware of your dream.
      When you fall asleep you're loosing awareness in an attempt to fall asleep and surrender your mind to run it's usual program

      But, you have to hit in between Letting yourself go, but holding on to what is going on with your mind and body.

      This is the practice that takes time

      At this point you must be the WATCHER
      Let us split our activities of consciousness as
      The Thinker, The Feeler, The watcher

      Instead of thinking upon a thought
      Ex: Man, I need to do this, or that

      Don't press the thought further.
      let it stop itself.

      When a memory comes up
      We have emotions that are triggered
      Ex: Happy, sad, fear

      Don't press the memory further
      Let it stop itself

      This whole time you are watching yourself do this
      But usually only part of your awareness if really watching
      you are being impulsive

      Focus more on watching yourself do all this
      after awhile it will all slow

      To help with relaxation
      Watch the way your body feels; don't react to it just watch
      Watch the way your thoughts flow; Don't react , just watch

      now at some point you will feel yourself accepting the rest,
      and have no feeling or thoughts to want to actually physically move

      Feed have your awareness of watching, to resting

      This is the balance we all struggle to find
      Sometimes we remain to aware of watching how we are, and remain awake
      Sometimes we fall to deep and loose more awareness of watching ourselves, that soon the body is being impulsive, and doing as it sees fit. Resting, sleeping

      This balance will allow you to on command be able to WILD

      This is... the true nature of meditation.
      Which is the natural tool towards WILD

      That which allows Monks to push this evermore futher and practice dream yoga.
      Or Reach many forms of enlightenment , or peace, or bliss
      Because this practice helps ourselves learn to be more aware.
      To not let our emotions control our actions.
      Not to say , emotions are destructive.
      But to say, their need to be a balance between Emotional, and rational.
      Wise mind

      Great post modoro This is what I am currently practising as well, to do without doing, to observe without judging to just be.

      Dreams are our subconscious, memories and our emotions. So the meaning of being aware of a dream is now much easier to understand.

      To be aware of a dream is to be aware of these three (subconscious, memories and emotions) so in other words to be aware of your personality of what defines you! This knowledge is of great benefit when you try to fall asleep consciously.

      Although when we are aware of the self we can go beyond it. This is when you realize what you truly are, the essence of life, you then realize that everything just is and everything is one.

      Do you understand the meaning of this? No.. Well me neither it needs to be experienced first.

      Meditation is a good practise for that and in my opinion the focus of the natural breathing is especially good, because here your "goal" is to observe the natural breathing without controling it.

      So in a way to breathe without breathing, to do without doing, to observe without judging.

      I have been practicing a similar technique every time I go to sleep now. A few times when I tried this after some significant sleep deprivation (going to sleep around 2-4AM two nights in a row) I could achieve sp and I had semi lucid experiences. Still waiting for that intensely lucid dream . Normally I just feel my body become deeply relaxed and experience small vibrations, then I fall asleep.

      Excellent post, I completely agree. I don't see why I would have to do the work for WILD if my body already does it for me everynight.

      Bingo. The only work that needs to be done is to stay conscious enough to watch the natural process. It's incredibly simple, yet strangely difficult to achieve.

      Renji, those semi lucid experiences can be key to the full thing. the only thing sleep deprivation will do for you, is help you fall alseep faster. Keep practicing, you give me hope for myself. as I may have a good idea on how to do, I have yet to get a good idea on my own of my balance.
      But, if I remember I try to do this every time I decide for sleep, as it is said to take about an hour before REM, it doesn't affect sleep once you can get closer to letting yourself fall asleep by this technique. I mean, if you can relax enough to the extent that you are peacefully resting your mind without much thought disturbance, it's a slight duplicate of sleep.
