Thread: Problem with SSILD

I have just come back across the threshold from fairly strong SSILD lucidity. I went to bed with the intention of going for a WILD but when the time came and I began that protocol, I knew it was not going to work. I was feeling too sleepy and there was not enough time for a prolonged WBTB.

So I switched to SSILD. Even then, my concentration was weak....particularly in the sight and hearing portions of the cycle. I remembered this discussion and concentrated most strongly on my body again. I got through four sloppy cycles that way and let myself fall asleep.....into strong and prolonged lucidity (after one FA) that was, however, somewhat passive in nature. Usually I get a sense of calm concentration when I listen for the silence and a sense of expansiveness when I look for the space behind my closed eyes......I think they are all important for a most complete lucid experience......but I have learned to take what is there for the taking.

Since it is Saturday morning, I'll spend some time in the studio in the pre-dawn darkness and then go back to bed and see about that WILD.

I really want to be like you, too sleepy can really bring my wild back.

Tonight I did a full series of cycles and again I got insomnia for 1.5 hour. When finally fell asleep, I got a creepy loop of FA. They were at least 7 of them, I will keep it short.

It began with me, drop my new phone of my bed. The display crack and I got really angry, because they said in store that it has gorilla glass 4 and is a shock resistant, but it crack from only 10 inches. I woke up and realize it was a FA, only to find my phone still broken, another FA I thought. Woke up again, everything was normal until I opened my window and saw a Lion in my backyard, I thought... seriously!? Woke up again and had hour long conversation with my mother only to woke up again and see she was not here to begin with. Found my father in super drunk mode and needed to slap myself to woke up in the middle of the street totally naked . I woke up again and thought this time was for real, but then as if the dream swallowed us up, it was really creepy. I found myself in unknown location and my family taken as hostages from a lady that has super creepy laugh. She was made of silver metal and had lucid abilities. She said that, she gonna eat us all and we will never wake up again. I never thought a day would come that I'd have to transform into mine ultimate imagery form, she was really strong. My ultimate imagery form is super hybrid between The God and The Devil. The battle was amazing, the visual and audio effects were like in the Avengers. I was too strong for her and needed to break only the first seal of my power. The feeling was amazing when I broke my first seal and explode into a giant pillar of Light , and kicked her ass out of existence.

I think, I'm gonna stick to two senses only after all

Since it is Saturday morning, I'll spend some time in the studio in the pre-dawn darkness and then go back to bed and see about that WILD.

I hope you reached an amazing WILD.
