Thread: "touching" WILD method

Gonna try this in exactly 10 min...

I'm having the longest streak with no lucid dreams ever, so hope this will change things.

Although I know the reason for not having any LD's, was job/stress related which hopefully is over now.

Anyways, I'll post tomorrow if this was successful!

lately Ive been interested in trying to 'touch' something you imagine as a way to help induce more vivid HIs

I kinda like this idea too though

Interesting. I'm going to give this a try!

I dont see the point in this method at all. WILDS are really easy if done correctly. It sounds to me like you are trying to WILD while going to sleep at night time. Making it all the way through to REM sleep while awake in trance is a huge waste of time and effort... WILD after a WBTB or WILD after you wake up from a dream in the morning (thats when I do it and it gets results easily). You dont want to be wasting time focusing on "awareness" of different parts of your body... you want to be focusing on the Hypnagogic imagarey you see before you, paying close attention to detail until it finally congeals into a dream and you're inside of it.

In short, wake up during your REM period and just pay close attention to detail on the HI until it congeals into a dream. If you do it right it should take no more than a minute. It usually takes me about 30 seconds to WILD. Theres really no need to spend tonnes of time in trance...

Amiright?

not really? although I dont fully understand what you're getting at there. Dream kitten says it resembles "a" WILD method. Not an easy one. When WILD'ing there is absolutely no need to go into a trance. I've tried astral projection and I know the method she's talking about and what goes along with it. So having experienced both I can say WILD (if you do it like i do) is nothing nothing like this.

I was trying to say that Dream Kitten said she was trying a method for astral projection, and not really focusing it on the idea of a WILD, saying it "resembled" a WILD method, not actually being one.

Can you LD every night mez?

Not yet! the frequency of my LD's is increasing every week. My goal is to be able to LD every night.

I understand this is not a typical WILD method. For me, everytime I attempt any sort of method, it seems to keep me awake longer than I would like, with it mostly being unsuccessful. Also keep in mind, I am a newbie at this, so I wouldn't understand the dynamics of how other methods worked. If you can suggest a better way, please do so. This is by no means an "easy" way, just a method I learned. I have yet to learn many methods yet, and honestly, I don't see the real difrence between WILD methods and astral projection methods... and of course, I understand that not everyone believes in astral projection. So far honestly, I have only been successul with DILDs. i've only had 2 WILDS that I can remember and it was achieved through this method. it may not work for everyone.

I have a very hyperactive mind and it is often very difficult for me to fall asleep, as it seems I have severe insomnia. If you have any suggestions, I'll be happy to try them!
