Hi! Iīm new here. I have been reading DW for a while and now I decided to register. And I have some questions.
First of all, how can I make myself not wake up?
Second of all I have an interesting question. When we breath in a dream, do we breath the air in the dream or the external air?
I just though Iīll post those as a start.
You're breathing the air in your bedroom or wherever it is that you're sleeping.
Try rubbing your hands together, or critically examining aspects of the environment.Quote:

I think I know what he means, I have felt the sensation of breathing air in real life while lucid dreaming. It is most noticeable if you are underwater in your dream.Quote:

About that breathing....
I mean, of course I know that we breath while we dream. But what I ment was, do we "breath the dream air", you know? I mean like, do we feel like we would be breathing in the dream, or does the sensation of breathing come from outside?
I started thinking this after some of my nose RCs failed....
And yet something more :D Here I go:
I have had tons of experiences in wich I have been half asleep. And when I am half asleep, I wake up and fall asleep rapidly. That is the moment for WILDing for me. Usually my experience is something like this:
I hear this loud "BEEEEP" in my head. It feels like Iīm collapsing. Then I open my eyes and see a dreamworld. I quicly grab something and do something with it to get into the dream. Or sometimes I imagine something like a scary man, who stares at me and starts strangeling me. That is when I look at my hands.....
But how could I do that same thing like after WBTB without chaining?
I think I see what you mean. I think the answer may be dependant on the situation. In light sleep, I would guess that the sensation of breathing (in real life) could be felt by a dreamer. However, I have had dreams where I have had no sensation of breathing whatsoever, which would indicate that this is not always the case. So, if one is experiencing the sensation of breathing during a dream, it could possibly be entirely 'internal' to the dream, probably due to habit, or it could be a result of the sensation of breathing in real life 'carrying over' to the dream.Quote:

I remember, that when I have been lying in bed for some time, I can kind of see a picture. It is hard to explain. I mean, I donīt actually SEE the image, but I imagine it VERY vividly. Once I tried to "move my eyes" when I see the picture, but then it goes away. So is this like seeing with my mindīs eye?
And can I somehow get to WILD from that?
And sorry for the caps lock but: PLEASE REPLY FAST, my internet goes shut about six hours after this post and goes back on day after tomorrow.
