Hello, i just started trying the WILD technique, and was wondering if people could help me to see if im going in the right direction or not.
I start by going to be around 9pm, setting my alarm to wake me up around 2am in the morning. Though for some reason i am waking up 10 minutes before it goes off for some reason. If i remember my dream, i write it in my journal, or not. I then proceed to put in some ear plugs and lay down on my back, and start to perform a chosen relaxing technique.
With my eyes closed, and on my back, i just breathe in and out, counting each repitition. As i was counting, after i passed 100, my body was progressively getting harder to notice, sort of like a cold detatchment, and i was also experiencing visual and audio cues.
Some more easily remembered ones are as follows.
- Its a scene that dipicts the back of a building, with a male in a tuxedo thats seems to be guarding a door, and appears to be speaking to me without any audio.
- I hear some music playing, more specifically, Edges entrance music from WWE wrestling (guess watching smackdown earlier that day was still fresh in my memory)
- Another scene showing the side of a high-rise building. I did notice that i was not forcing descriptions, but i could hear myself trying to image more details into the scene. It started from a big grey wall, the view then proceeded from looking up at this wall, to showing ground level, which was an empty street. Some snippets of conversation were heard, and some wishing of seeing people along the street, but the scene just left at that point.
- Another music cue, which was the same as the music before, but im in front of a door this time with the music playing.
By the time the last scene goes back to darkness, i have counted past 300 and stopped counting. I remember hearing a humming noise / buzzing noise twice, once around 120 and another around 260 or so, and around 200, my legs cramped up. I didnt do anything about it and just continued breathing and counting.
After all of this, i just decided to wake up, record my findings, and then goto bed normally.
I just couldnt seem to get the 'drop' into lucid dreaming as people have described, and was wondering if i have been doing anything wrong. I will continue with this technique for a few weeks to see if i can get any better results from it.
