Thread: WILD Problem

Thanks for making that article, Clarity. I printed it off and read it last night before going to bed. After an unsucessful night of dreams, I woke up. Strangely enough, I was just laying there, thinking about skydiving when suddenly I felt like...hmm. Hard to describe. Kinda like somebody pushing me without actually moving. HI became very vivid now, I could see many different colors and shapes. Remembering your article, I tried to focus on lucid dreaming and counting, but I just drifted out of it again! Anyway, I'm getting closer and closer to having an LD, so thank you!

YES.. way to go Truffles.. I am so happy for you!!

I do know what you mean as I've felt the onset of the *shift* and then felt it just.. stop.

Truffles, you may have already read the information below from me but I want to post it here for your convenience.

When I first began WILDing, I experienced vibrations and the loud *fingernails on the chalkboard*, but sadly now I no longer feel vibrations, see patterns nor hear sounds. I miss them as they confirmed to me that I had entered mind awake/body asleep.

What I experience now is a subtle but distinctive *shift* in my consciousness. I suddenly just am aware that my consciousness is different. I may realize that suddenly I've jumped into some random thought from where I was.. or I feel like my mind has "blinked".. or I feel a slight sinking feeling in my head and/or body.

The knowing of "when" I can move is something that has come from practice and from trial and error. I've missed many opportunities to be lucid due to waiting around for vibrations, scenes or sounds to either start or grow stronger.

Unfortunately it's a very fine line between reality checking too soon (and not totally being in body asleep) and reality checking too late and missing that exact moment and simply falling asleep and winding up in a non-lucid dream.

When I feel the *shift* twice, I either roll out or stand up. Since your "physical" body is paralyzed (hopefully) .. try rolling your body to the right or left and standing up. It will feel as though you are actually rolling your physical body.. but it will be your astral/dream body that will be rolling.

If you find that the sensation has stopped (and you're not too tired/frustrated), don't move and simply begin your technique/affirmations again. I find that since it's so early in the morning anyway.. I still have plenty of time to give it one more shot.

I hope this helps.. if not, please let me know.
