Thread: what WILD really is

kind of ironic considering your signature

Yeah, isn't it just waiting and searching for the "aha erlebnis" the point where you say, AHA this is it.

Maybe a WILD technique is also personal just like others.

Keep us updated if you find your AHA erlebnis. I will post mine when I found it.

Good luck

Nope. The key to the WILD is falling asleep. First and foremost. Awareness and retaining consciousness is secondary to that.

Also, it's totally fine to allow randoms thoughts to occur, because that's generally part of falling asleep. If you do that, though, then you either have to be a passive observer of those thoughts or let them carry you away just far enough to be become conscious at the last possible moment.

Now, I've only had 27 WILDs, but I honestly haven't made that many attempts, and that makes my success rate fairly high.

I agree with yuriy. When i first decided to try and WILD a couple years ago, i read all that stuff about the body "testing" you to see if your asleep. And it trying to "trick" you and how you werent supposed to move a muscle, or swallow, because if you did everything was ruined.

bull shit. in my opinion.

i have had like 20 somthing WILDs now. So yeah im still new, but i've had enough to know that there isnt some magical technique, and that all WILD is, is falling asleep, while being aware.

Wild is to separate from your body with your full consciousness.

It's hard to became conscious in the last moments, How to do that ?

seperate from your body? i think you are confusing WILD with an OBE my friend. WILD is a Wake Iniciated Lucid Dream its just a way to start a LD. you dont separate from your body

The best way I can describe how I do it is that I place a sentinel of intention to help recognize the transition into the dreamworld and snap me into full awareness.

Yep. I move all the time when I WILD. Not overly so, but I swallow when I need to and shift when I become uncomfortable.

Exactly. I beleive that OBE is the same as Wild

You will fall asleep unconsciously

yeah I should clarify that I SUCK at WILD, only had 3 even though I have been trying for like a year. this is just a theory

Definitely true. Some how when attempting wild I always end up thinking about people from work/school or nonsense, and it keeps me from getting the dream.
