Ive been doing a method that's works most of the time. I wake myself after 5 to 6 hours of sleep. Then I go right back to bed and start counting each one of my breaths. When I get to 100 I start at 1 again. If you continue to do that until you start dreaming, you'll be doing it in your dream. In the dream you wonder why you're counting, and then you remember, and then you realize youre dreaming.
cool, now i hav 3 different techniques to try tonight! ha
This is very similar to FILD, but worthwhile, nevertheless.
Sounds like what I do when I try wilding but I count my breaths. Maybe I'll jsut try counting.
can't you just skip the whole having to get up after 5 or 6 hours and do this when you first go to sleep?
Probably not unless you're extremely tired, as this kind of technique typically only works really well when you're very tired.
Well it's sort of like a WILD, so it IS possible to do it when you first go to sleep I suppose. Although it would be VERY difficult. It works much better after waking up after a few hours.Quote:

Tsen, your avatar is wicked cool
anyone else had success with this? i'm going to try it tonight
I have tried counting on every inhale and say I am dreaming on every exhale but can never get past 30 without having to swallow to produce spit in my mouth which ruins my focus
i forgot to mention to do it on each exhale, ive never tried it on every inhaleQuote:
