The most efficient AND easy lucid dream induction technique?

[ujkan]

I've read a lot of threads and practically everybody says that the WILD technique produces the most vivid dreams and is actually the best one. Since I have had little experience with lucid dreams and most of them have happened without me having anything to do with them, I just wanted to know is there a combination of a technique like WILD with the level of difficulty of a MILD or DILD. I think that WILDing is not that hard and by practicing I can learn how to induce a LD via WILD but I was just wondering is there any technique that is like a combo. And also, is there such a HUGE difference between a WILD and a DILD or MILD or any other type of LD for that matter? Or is the difference just superficial? EDIT: Do things like keeping a DJ and having really good dream recall affect your ability to LD greatly?

WILD is a technique which broken down from its complications and strategy is falling asleep naturally while keeping conscious I have never had a Lucid Dream WILD but I have induced quite a few Out of body experiences using this method. After practice I imagine it is quite easy however the break down may sound simple but it needs an extreme amount of relaxation. For example I struggle to fall asleep so I can hold on to consciousness easy but can not relax enough to get the extra push to enter the state. Others tend to fall asleep because they become far to relaxed its an awkward balance which takes a required amount of experimentation. If for example you smoke Cannabis which i do on an occasion attempt a WILD before sleep as it relaxes you and it will allow you to enter a dream scape. However if you try Dream induced lucid dreams you may struggle as cannabis lowers the ability to enter REM sleep prime time dreaming. Also trying to induce WILD's will be entering a trance/meditation state so even if you fail you may induce a spontaneous DILD good luck. Looke (: P.S yes there is a difference. From research entering a WILD gives you full consciousness in a lot cases. However when I have had a DILD It can still be hazy. Dream journals do work VERY well its amazing how powerful the tool can be try for yourself keep motivated don't give up. Looke (:

It's kind of awkward, sometimes I get too relaxed, sometimes I don't. I guess it will take me a lot of time before I make it work and eventually make it second nature.

Attempt WILD's as often as you can however if you become frustrated just simply stop and go to sleep how far do you get in the WILD?

The only part about WILDing that I have trouble with is the paranoia that comes with SP or HH. I've gone through it many times before, but it is definitely the way to go. From what I've experienced, WILDing with Nicotine Patches, Melatonin, B6, or galantamine produce very vivid and reliable results. Do what you feel though, the supplements are not a must, but they do help.

Cannabis is a big help for WILD in my experience BUT is a killer to DILD ...when using cannabis you need to cause yourself to visit the non-physical while in Non-REM.

I think that additional supplements are not needed since you can LD without them.

I think you're correct supplements with repeated usage apart from becoming habit forming they will become a crouch to use and hinder any experience you try induce with out them...but dabbling in my opinion offers interesting insights so every now and again :-) but also its a reason i don't like using isochoric tones because i don't want to become dependant :-)
