Paradigm, I forgot to mention earlier. This gave me my first WILD. Thankyou very much! When I was very determined to do this (not to go back to sleep) I sorta, fell into a short but weird LD. |

I assume this would work during nap....even though it may take longer. |

Paradigmshift made a really great diagram describing the transition from waking to dreaming using this method.. but could the other people that have had success describe their experience with the transition I think this is the most crucial point and we any further clarity would be greatly appreciated. |
|
Whoa...the whole mental lapse thing is starting to confuse me...can someone explain?? |

I'm gonna try this tonight. |

There is no real-life, there is only AFK.
I have used something similar to this before, with quite a bit of success. I sleep on my side, right at the edge of the bed. Then I imagine myself sitting up and then standing up beside my bed. I keep imagining this over and over again until it becomes real. |

I replied a few months ago to stiky. He asked me about my experience with lucid dreams, and I told him thal all my lucid dreams began in sleep paralisis. But I have never been able to induce sleep paralisis. In every case, a feel that I am being dragged from my bed, and in every case I realize that I am dreaming. In all those cases my dreams were weird. Flying at great speed over the sea, rivers, mountains. In some cases crossing along many doors in which people are dead and covered with blankets, etc. I did not feel any fear because I am materialistic and I do not believed in anything thas is supernatural. I have tried many times to feel that "drag thing" but I have failed. It is something I can not induce. |
|
SO do u actually drag/roll or imagine it and I do I have to a WBTB method. |
|
I woke up without the alarm clock and tried in my normal sleeping position, though again I have a habbit of waking up and getting to cold thus I feel uncomfterbal because I wear shorts to bed and a t-shirt (even around this time of year) and cold usualy decreeses my level of conscious too, I did feel alittle bit of fuzziness in my body, and eventually I fell into a deeper state of conscious but then I rolled over accidently and decided to give it up, because I wasn't very comfterbal, tomorrow I'll wear pants to bed |
|
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To lucid dream is my real test
To control them is my cause
Do i just imagion myself say just going up and down ( to the top of my bed then slide down to the bottem ) |
|
See if you can control the direction in which you're being dragged. Try rolling your body in place. Do this for about 30 seconds, making sure to control your direction. This tends to help me later in being able to control my LD, the more control I have the more vivid and controllable my LD will be. |
|
I tried this last night going directly to bed, and it definitely helped keep me conscious while also putting my body to sleep! My problem is that I always think I am dreaming too soon, and then I end up opening my real eyes and it ruins everything! |

Well...I tried last night...or this morning actually... |
|
The only lucid dreams I've had have been totaly accidental DILDs. I haven't tried a wild but have exelent dream recall. I have to tonight. I read someone felt like throwing up during this??! Tell me more!! |
|
This sounds effective and well explained, I might try this tonight. I like what you had said about coming in and out of awareness. I have tried a ton of techniques and I think this one seems more towards the realm of what gets results for me. |
|
so does it only take you a couple of minutes to get into the dream? |
|
worked again during a nap... it works better for me when I do some relaxation techniques before going to sleep or trying the method. |
|
Ive been trying to wild while going to bed the first time and last night I got the feeling of sliding down the bed. I figured it was another part of sp, and kept focused on keeping my eyes shut, when the motion feeling stopped my body jolted and made me fully awake again. Now that I know how close I was to a lucid dream I will be sure to try again tonight!! |

When you wake up very tired at night.. and try this method.. do you think its "too much" to simply not let yourself fall asleep again unless its via this method? What I mean is.. does the method require that you fall asleep again fairly soon- or can it work with a perhaps less subtle but more forceful will? |

Ah so this is what I have been doing - I noticed this and thought I was the only one (thanks Clairity for pointing me here) |
