Thread: Getting back to LDing - Difficult

I stayed up all night..... Grr.. I´m toast. Absolutely toast.

Well, I hope its worth it. Gonna try and wild in the morning.

First Off,

It's good to see that you have chosen to start over. Just keep in mind that you don't want to get overly frustrated with yourself if you are not "keeping with it" as much as you should. Getting back into it is a process, it is like learning to walk again, but with minor experience.

I myself chose to get back into lucid dreaming again a few months back. I have improved on my dream recall and lucid dreams as of late. I will tell you that once you get back into it, and get the feel for it, it's like 2nd nature!

So I bid you good luck, and keep us posted on your improvements!

Okay...

I went to sleep pretty early, at midnight. I set the alarm to 7:00 for WILD, but I dont remember anything about it.. I woke up naturally at 9:30 or something like that. I ate some breakfast, and then I went back to bed for WILD, but I failed. Then I laid down on the couch. I wasnt intending to WILD. After maybe 15-20 minutes I got up, and then I realized I had fallen asleep at some point, cause I saw this short dream. I knew that this was the time to WILD. So I tried once more, but I failed.

Plan for tonight:

Go to sleep at midnight, set two alarms to 7am
Wake up at 7am, write down my dreams to my computer
Eat breakfast, think about the coming LD
Lay down on couch or bed
Count till I´m in an LD.

I´ll keep every damn brain cell focused on keeping aware when I WILD.

I´m gonna make it!! Right??

The WILD failed cause I wasn´t sleepy enough.

I know what you're saying...

Last year was so easy to me to have ld's and wild ld's...

After a time without LD'ing now it's too hard to have DILDs, MILDs and WILDs (to me it always was the easiest way to get lucid but now it's hard to do it)...

I'm thinking about don't get sleep for 2 days...I'll try to wild after 2 days without sleeping and i'll see what happen...

*When i'm deprivated of sleep and get back to sleep it's easy to wild

Kanious, I don´t recommend staying up for 2 nights. After one night I myself was absolutely toast. You dont even wanna know how crazy I was. One night max, in my opinion.

YEAH!!

I discovered my own personal way to WILD! This is so cool! I had about 10 WILDs in a row! This is just amazing! The only prob is that the WILDs were really short and low level.

The way I did it:

I went to sleep around 1-2am.
Then I woke up at 10am. (I did wake up at 8 too, but I failed then)
Ate a bread for breakfast
At about 10:30 I went back to bed, feeling pretty tired.
After realizing I wasn´t sleepy enough, I decided to keep myself aware by clapping the matress with my palms.
Now this is the weird part. I think that I fell asleep, saw a short dream, woke up, then fell asleep again, but this time I understood that I´m dreaming. That caused me to wake up. But soon I was in a dream again. Then I woke up again. Then I visualized this dream scenery, and soon I was in it. This happened over and over again, I just kept visualizing a dream and soon I was in it, and then I woke up again.

If I only could stabilize those, I could easily have a WILD every morning. Yeah!

So my way to WILD is: Visualization after some relaxing physical activity.

How's it going?

to me it's not too hard 'cuz i was a cokehead [i wasn't addicted because i never felt "cravings" but i was dumb and snorted coke like a rat]...

But i don't need to stay still for 2 days now...I'm back to school, so i'm not sleeping too well
