Plz someone answer: Do you need...

...good dream recall to achieve WILD?? Since you go directly from being awake to being in a sleep/dream state, I wouldn't think that having good dream recall or doing reality checks during waking life would be necessary? Can someone answer indefinitely; do WILDers need to have good dream recall??

If you don't have good recall, you'll eventually forget the dream once you wake up, and never know you had it. It's not likely, if you're WILDing, but it can happend. Also, you need to be super lucky, to have your first lucid-dream through WILDing. WILDing is very hard, and I suggest you work up a good recall, start doing reality-checks, and get your first lucid-dream through a DILD, instead of WILD.

when you WILD you go from being awake, directly into dreaming. And i myself dont typicaly need good dream recall. The trouble comes when you either A) lose lucidity in a WILD, B) start dream chaining without writing down your WILD, or C) you wake up from your WILD and fall back asleep too quickly. So if you plan to learn to dream chain, or if you lose lucidity fast, then you better have good recall. But like Marvo said, WILD is not recommended for newbie LDers It would be better to get good recall and start practicing DILD. good luck

Well if you need me I'll be in a Skip.

my general rule of thumb = DO NOT go back to sleep after you WILD. once you've had your WILD, if you wake up, dont fall asleep or its glorious, vivid splendor will be lost for all eternity. yes, eternity. lol
