Thread: are wilds really that much better from dild

alot of people have told me that the quality of wilds is alot more better then dilds. in what ways are they better. please tell

People say that WILDs are longer and more clear. I'm inclined to believe that the first is true, because on average people don't become aware in DILDs at the beginning of the dream!

The second is more controversial. It really depends on how you reality check in waking life. How much thought do you really put into it? That directly correlates to clarity in DILDs. In a WILD, most of your awareness is already turned on before you even enter the dream. In a DILD, you must switch your awareness on manually.

Also, Ive found that its very easy to lose lucidity in a DILD. I havent had a successful WILD yet, but I would imagine that its easier to hold onto lucidity when your in one.

Yep true.

In WILD's you are more aware, your mind is more awake. Dreams are therefore usually more logical and vivid.

Its also a very unique experience entering a dream conciously.

is wilding scary

Let's just say that WILDs are aptly named.

When i learnt about wilding, i just HAD to try it. It was a little weird.

However i just HAD to face it. What if i woke up during a crazy episode of sleep paralysis? I had to know what to do.

WILDing is awesome. I now enjoy the weird sounds, feelings and images. Its like watching TV with surround sound. If something scary does happen, big woop. I am the master of my head, and i am the most scary and powerful thing in there.

I don't agree with that, I Prefer DILD's.

For some people maybe it's true. But my DILD's are extremely vivid, and most times I can think quite clearly. Plus, I find them to be far more stable than WILD's. But I still enjoy trying to WILD.

DILDs can be just as good as WILDs, and, depending on how used to WILDs you are, better. If you are used to WILDs, then you might get a bit lazy on the whole awareness aspect of it.

A DILD after a brief awakening is most likely to match a WILD. During the awakening, you prep yourself to keep the mind awake during the dream. Which is what WILDers do, except they do it as they fall asleep.

My best experiences have been with DILDs, so I thought I'd defend them a bit. ;D

Yeah, me too. Sometimes I think that DILDs (simply because many newbies don't have them) get a bad reputation as being dull, unstable, and confused. Experienced LDers who have had a lot of DILDs usually love them.

I like both DILDs and WILDs, but for different reasons. My DILDs can be real fun, because I already have a dream storyline to go with. I can go with the flow of the story, and have some amazing experiences that would be hard to come up with if I was just standing in my bedroom, lucid after a WILD.

I agree that most of my WILDs are much more vivid, and I am more lucid than my DILDs. Sometimes that can be boring, because it is harder to exert dream control and come up with creative ideas.
