Thread: WILD - Wake Initiated Lucid Dream

From what I understand; the WILD tutorial describes the normal process of going to sleep; the difference is that one must be aware of all the stages of going to sleep. I mean you said to relax and clear the mind, get in a comfortable position, that's everything one does when going to sleep. The "trick" is to recognize the entering to a dream state and not just get sucked by it.

Yes, WILDing is basically just going to sleep. The difference is, that normally, your body and mind fall asleep pretty much at the same time. With WILDing, you watch your body fall asleep.

In order to keep your mind awake until it's time, you repeat some kind of a mantra. It will serve as an anchor to the waking world. It will keep reminding you what you doing and hopefully will entertain your brain so it doesn't fall asleep too soon. Eventually, you let your mind fall asleep too. But not before some dreams are ready for you.

It's a well balanced game. May take a few tries to master, but it's well worth it.
