List all you know about WILD

I know a decent amount about wild. (Although I've never fully completed one. I've gotten to the last stages.) I want everyone to tell me all they know about wild. Give the most decriptive details you can , for I wish to compare notes and see if we can further advance into the study of wild lucid dreaming. Tell me all you know even if its allready been posted. This way we may be able to make a version of wild that has much higher chances of succuding. Here are my notes from one night of WILDing:

go to sleep at 7:00

Wake up at or aurond 12:00

Have a snack.

wait bewteen 60-90 mintuets

go to sleep bewteen 1:00 and 1:30

concrate on breathing for about 25 min (sometimes i kinda sigh on each exhale so i concrate on the breath)

slowly while still doing the above breathing thing concrate on each part of my body from feet up 2 the head (this gives me the sensation of my body becomeing paralized and heavy)
(I do this 6 or 7 times)

than i try to relax

i get the HI(hypnoic imiges)

my whole limbs feel like they have been ripped off and sent to a different demision(They hurt and i cant feel them at the same time)

than everything stops and I cant see the HI anymore my limbs still feel gone. When i finaly move it feels like my limbs are slowly and painfully being re-connected to every nerve in my right shoulder!



This way has worked the best for me, but i have done others wich did not include wbtb methouds wich got me preety far.

Hehe, I listed everything I know in the tutorial. :mrgreen:

I have had a lot of lucid dreams, but my style so far has not been to WILD. I have read Seeker's tutorial twice and tried to follow it, almost. I need to pay more attention to the details. I always try it in the morning when I press the snooze button over and over for about an hour and a half. It seems that I am always too tired to comprehend the fact that I am supposed to be trying to WILD and I get out of bed later and go, "What was I thinking?" It did work one time, however. I went right back to the same trippy dream about being on a subway that goes from Jackson to Seattle through an underground mall. When I appeared there, I immediately tried to go to the place I seem to never make it to in lucid dreams-- the Eiffel Tower, where I have asked a lot of people to meet me and dream share with me. (I am not too sure about dream sharing, but I like having fun with this stuff.) I walked through the wall and was in the parking lot of the basketball coliseum at Ole Miss (University of Mississippi), even though I was in Montana or Idaho. I started running on a lake right by the coliseum, a lake that does not exist in the waking world, and my damn alarm came back on and woke me out of it. The snooze button technique might not be the most advanced way of doing this.

Based on what Seeker said, it looks like you might be waiting too long to go back to the dream. You want to still be in a state where you will R.E.M. when you go back to sleep. Otherwise, you will just go back to sleep, R.E.M. later, and have no track of the fact that you are trying to achieve lucidity. As I said, I am no WILD expert, but I am pretty sure that much is true.

go to bed at 9 pm

WILD to bed for practice purposes

get up at 3:30 am

stay up 30-60 mins

while up get some water and use the bathroom, also i read about lding if i really want one or i just watch tv

go back to bed and relax focusing on my breathing,

lie still for an hour focusing on breathing in and out

have an LD (also if i dont have a WILD then usually ill have a DILD)

How do you reach the R.E.M. state immediately upon reaching sleep if you have been up for an hour? I'm not saying you don't. I just want to understand how WILD works because I would like to get into it.

i think thats why he said lay there for an hour. i think it allows your mind to reach REM and then the wild starts. of coarse i could be wrong >_<
