Thread: Is it possible to enter an LD outside of a REM cycle?

A couple nights ago I had a sucessful WILD right when I was going to bed but I believe the reason that it was possible, was that I had about a 2 hour nap at around 6:00pm. I think because of this nap, I may have actually hit a REM.. Or maybe a miracle? Try it sometime!

Chris, I'm in no way shape or form an experienced LD'er or anything of the sort but i've been trying (and failing might I add) the WILD before sleeping. I've almost gotten it quite a few times but my breathing gets all shallow and I start freaking out. I'm willing to join you in this experiment though. I will try to keep letting you know what goes down every day and record my findings on this site somewheres. Would you like to do that here, or in PM or create a new thread? Just let me know and good luck!
