I don't usually listen to music at night these days, but I used to all the time. It can be very relaxing.

If you are going to have music playing though & want to WILD or WBTB, then I would keep it a quite a low volume.[/b]

i always keep it at a low/just below moderate volume because i realise that it could pull me out of my lucid dream, i listen to music all the time but i think that if i didn't listen to music i would simply get bored and give up trying to WILD etc, but at the same time when i get to relaxed i forget that i'm trying to WILD, i'm still unsure?

Well I think if the music is at a low volume & you don't allow yourself to get too relaxed, then it's good for your WILDing as you say would get bored otherwise, so it keeps you focused & more aware.

As I said, if you don't allow yourself to get too relaxed then the music will probably be beneficial for you.
