      The way I've taylored WILDing for me!

      So I've been sleeping way too much lately (if there is such a thing) and have had a lot of time to practice my techniques concerning WILDs.

      The first night in a week where I had more than 1 LD a night I achieved the dream by screwing up. I had laid still for a long time with no results and found myself accidentally falling asleep way before sleep paralysis. That night I did my first ever reality check in a dream and realized I was dreaming and took control. The epitome of LDing. This was only my 4th ever intentional LD and for the next 6 nights I achieved at least one LD every night.

      For some of the LDs, I went consciously into the dream like a real WILD and some I fell asleep before the dream began and woke up in the dream later after trying to WILD but falling asleep before it was achieved. I speculated, and I guese this is pretty obvious but just a lil different than an actual WILD, that if you can get your body to fall asleep before your mind you can have non-lucid dreams that still have a factor of lucidity in them that might make you a bit more conscious of the dream. This might be all that is needed for you to do a reality check or realize that your dream is a bit wacky. This is what happened to me a few times. Now I know the bitty about your body falling asleep before your mind sounds stupid because everyone knows this is a basic step needed for a WILD. I mean however that for me this happened after I was mentally asleep. Does this make sense?

      Since then I never seem to put too much emphasis on trying to WILD because I know that if I do fall asleep by accident before the WILD, there's a good chance I'll realize I'm dreaming soon after I fall asleep.

      I am no expert by any means. This has however worked for me almost every night I've tried it. Is this actually a method? I have ADD so I never really really read the tutorials in depth so this might be described somewhere else.

      Does this happen to others?

      What you described is exactly how my WILD attempts have gone for the most part. I haven't heard anyone else talking about WILDs in this way though, so I'm not sure how common it is.

      Yea, I just tried to WILD the other night but I fell asleep before SP. However I did realize it was a dream. Whatever works right?

      HAHA someone i can relate to: this is off topic, but i have ADD too!
      Do not try and bend the spoon--that's impossible. Instead only try and realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends

      it is only yourself

      It's funny how LDing is one of the only things I can actually concentrate on doing apart from photography. We are lucky cause we know for sure when we are interested in something.
