Thread: Yoshi's WILD Technique...

I'm happy to announce that I can wake at will. Even without the aid of water, alarm clock, phone, etc. I can wake at middle of the night. My technique is to believe that I have drunk a lot of water. But in reality, I didn't.

That is reassuring. I don't know if I entered sleep paralysis but I set my alarm to wake me up at 5:30, 6 hours after I went to bed. I got up and went to the bathroom. I had trouble going back to sleep since I took a nap a couple hours earlier so I kinda just lay in bed for a good 30 minutes. All of a sudden I heard a song playing really clearly in my head and I felt somebody was behind me even though I couldn't see who it was. I heard the person walking around the side of my bed but I woke myself up before I saw them.

Awesome! You have trained yourself to wake up on your own. Congrats!

Yeah, it definitely sounds like you were having some hallucinations brought on by SP. You won't always feel the vibrations and some of the other common hallucinations. I would work on trying to stay in this state a little longer each time. Try to build up your confidence and ease your way into it. This was good progress, just keep working on it and I'm sure you will be able to overcome your fear. Good luck!

Ey yoshi, I had a lucid dream last night through WILD. I spawned inside my room. I tried to get outside my apartment but when i grabbed the door knob, The buzzing sound(the one we experience when we Sp) started again even if I'm in already in a LD! the sound kept on and I sat on the sidewalk trying to calm my self. A few seconds passed and I spawned again in my bedroom. I RC and I was still in a LD. Again I tried to went outside but the sound repeated again. Irritated, I woke up. Any explanation for this?

Well first off, congrats on a successful WILD! This buzzing was likely a minor stability issue. If you were fairly calm and the dream environment seemed stable, you may have just needed to ignore this buzzing. Something like this will often go away just by engaging in some dream activity. You likely just needed to immerse yourself within the dream (engaged in some dream activity/exploring/etc) and the buzzing would have went away. I see you experienced a false awakening and nice job catching it! A lot of times dreamers won't notice the false awakening and will think they are actually awake. That was pretty impressive!

Last night, I again used my alarm to wake myself up 6 hours after going to sleep. Again I had trouble going back to sleep, think this is because my body is programmed to get up and get ready for school when I hear my alarm, so I read a book for a little bit before I felt I was tired enough to actually fall back asleep. I found myself in a dream where I was in school, I realized I was dreaming and repeated to myself several times, "I'm dreaming." This caused the dream to fade and I think I was awake with my eyes closed. I suddenly felt a strong vibration followed by an equally strong second vibration throughout my body. Thinking I was somehow back in the dream, I opened my eyes to find myself in my bedroom awake. Should I have waited longer on the vibrations or what?

First off, congrats on achieving lucidity. Once you realized you are dreaming, it is always a good idea to immediately stabilize. You almost performed a DEILD without even knowing it . Once the dream starts to fade, you just lay still with your eyes closed. You will wake up and then immediately start transitioning back into the dream state. Sometimes it will be very quick and there will be little to no HH/HI. Other times, you experience HH/HI similar to a normal WILD transition. You probably should have waited out the vibrations a bit longer and you would have successfully DEILDed. Hmm...did you perform a RC once you realized you were in your bedroom? You may have transitioned into the dream state and not even realized it. Either way, you gained some valuable experience and will know what to expect the next time out. Good luck to you and if you have any further questions, just ask !

No, I didn't perform an RC but I looked at the time on my alarm clock. I think I heard numbers and letters usually look strange in dreams and it looked normal to me. Also, to stabilize you can just use verbal commands and/or look at your hands right?

Had my first lucid dream! It was a hazy DILD, but it was lucid. I have some questions about it; I made a thread ( http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/blurry...-dream-112959/ ) if you want to help me out.
I'm going to try a WBTB tomorrow.

I shall take a gander . Good luck to you!

Thanks lol, btw your my dream guide, in the form of a yoshi . Seen you before, but I didnt clue in that I was dreaming.

Awesome! Hopefully next time, I will walk over to you, slap you in the face, point a finger and say, "Your dreaming Turtle! You are in a dream right now! Do a reality check!"

LOL last night, I woke up at will. I tried to WILD but I was too sleepy. But I didn't gave up, I tried to WILD as hard as I can. When suddenly, I started to say this strange Mantra: "The Power within, the power within, the power within, etc" I kept with the mantra's flow. Again, it changed, i started to say "Earth Fire water wind, Earth fire water wind, etc" after a few minutes, I had a successful WILD. Any explanation for my weird unexpected unintended mantra???

Ah, you were only missing "heart." With those powers combined....you would have had...Captain Planet! Lol.
On a serious note, I am not sure why you started this mantra, but it definitely worked ! That is pretty cool that you just came up with a mantra without meaning to. Congrats on the successful WILD!

LoL cool joke. I remember captain planet as if it was yesterday. Anyways, LDing sure is full of mysteries. More discovery must be done.

Ey, How can you make DCs appear? Like what if I want to meet Obama or Albert Einstein???

Ah, the best way to make a DC appear is to simply look for them. It is pretty difficult to just spawn a DC out of nowhere, so here is what I like to do. I will walk around corners, through doors, etc. Just walk around imagining who I want to meet. It is also a good idea to call out the name of the person you are looking for. So, if you wanted to meet Obama, simply walk around looking for him while shouting, "OBAMA! OBAMA! WHERE ARE YOU OBAMA?!? . It sounds silly, but it works !

There was someone I was looking for on my first LD. I thought I could spawn them out of no where but that's not how it happened. I shouted their name and spun around and I was transported to a brightly lit exterior front of an old fashioned diner. Streets were dark, high contrast, reminded me of a level out of Max Payne. The person I was looking for I caught a glimpse of in the window of the diner. When we locked eyes they began walking towards the diner exit. But the dream destabilized right as they were walking down the steps to the street where I was.
I'm surprised to see how the mind works out things. You call out for someone in your dream and you find them, almost naturally, as if it were a scheduled rendezvous.

Yeah, calling out for someone or something helps a lot in dreams. If you are looking for a particular object, like a bowling ball . You could search around for it and call out, "Bowling ball!" It will help your chances of finding that was well. It can be used with items as well as people.

Ey I just want to ask, how old are you when started training yourself to the art of LDing???

I was 20 years old when I first joined DreamViews and started lucid training. I turn 23 next month...

Ey Yoshi, I had 2 LDs last night. So the first one was about this resort, beach resort to be specific. I was Lucid, but in the dream, I act as if it is Reality even if I know it's a dream. I even do the rub-my-hand thing to stabilize it. There was a part in my dream that I told my mind that I am dreaming, and I woke up. Disappointed, I slept, and I dreamed again. in the dream, I was Lucid. I was riding on a POGO. Pretty weird. I was at the middle of a road in a forest. So I just went north going where the road is taking me, I saw signs that were weird, just like what I expected in a typical LD. The dream was relaxing, hopping down on a pogo, enjoying the scenes. I then put in mind that it is a dream, And I woke up. It was 7am. I told myself: Damn! I forgot to do awesome stuff like flying, telekinesis, etc.

I got a question:
1. What technique did I performed to LD? I didn't do WILD for sure. All I know was that I'm in a dream.
2. Why did I forgot that I have complete control over my dream?

And also, advanced happy birthday my friend!

1. You simply had a couple spontaneous DILDs. Nice job, btw !
2. Sometimes you just get caught up in the feeling and the amazement of the dream world. I have had dreams where I just walked around looking at everything in amazement.

Thanks a lot for the Happy Birthday !!!

This technique sounds very promising and simple. I'll try it tonight for my first LD since joining DV! (I've had natural LDs before) I'll post results tomorrow!

Good luck to you and let me know how everything goes!
