New to the world of you Lucid Kids!
Hi!
I have been reading alot of these forums within the last, 3 days or so. It can all be so confusing at times but I am slowly getting the hang of it. I THINK!
Correct me if I am wrong! Please. - While reading this, nod your head to my questions and the things I say, or frown at the things I've gotten wrong, then tell me. ( :
WILD is popular???? Right? This is a method which works for quite a few members of the board and the lucid dreaming community? And WAKE Initiated Lucid Dreams is to set some sort of gentle alarm in the middle of you REM cycle. So you estimate some sort of time? Say around 12am or something. After turning this off you focus on your breathing, or perhaps even a visual landscape (V-WILD), and you focus on slipping into this landscape, every so often doing reality checks (like breathing through a pinched nose) until you realise you are infact dreaming, then becoming lucid. CORRECT? Do people find this a useful technique to becoming lucid?
Then after WILD you can FILD by gently moving your fingers.. I forgot the signifgance of this so I am going to forget it for now.
Uh, Sleep Paralysis. When you WILD (wake by alarm during the night) you recognise your body feel numb or as though its asleep. Its abnormal and unlike the feeling of your woken body. Upon noticing this you do a RC (Reality Check) and see whether it is you are still in your sleepy bed or in your dreeam world!
One other thing. I remember reading in the thread '90 days of WILD' (I think) that there was some '....' where the person could hear their music from their ipod very loud in their ears even though they hadn't had it in. This happens to me sometimes. I would hear a song very clear and then quickly snap out of it and recognise what just happened. The same sort of thing happens with vivid moving images in my head - I would snap out of it and notice. Does this have a certain name and should I just do reality checks often?
Tell me, what technique works best for you? What is the most popular and sucessful technique? Do I really need to understand all these abbreviations or should I find them relevant when I need to experiment with another technique?
I am kinda slow sometimes so I really appreciate your simplified help.
THANKYOU all! (HUGS)!
