Next, I hope you might finish your thought: What is the "good reason" that qualifies WILDs to be the most discussed path to a LD?

What do you think Sageous? (I like to hear the reason too ) Is that even true as far as "Holy Grail" and such? I hope the beginners do not over look good DILD skills. What a shame.

WILD is neat, but it only forms a part of the picture guys. It is hard enough with years of training. It may have say 1 in 3 success rate when your in the groove and then fail you day after day suddenly for no good reason. If you really learn DILD then you get LDs for the rest of your life, that randomly appear as long as you have made life changes in awareness.

But on the bright side, yes WILD is pretty cool too.

Happy dreams all, and welcome to Dream Views, both of you!

I think WiLD is just another way in, and its utilization is based more on timing and mindset than it is on inherent quality... in other words, DILD is just as good a way to become lucid as WILD; what route you choose is based more on when you're attempting to become lucid and where your head is currently at than it does on whether WILD is better than DILD. In the end all this stuff is just tool in a psychic toolbox, and the real holy grail is the dream... sort of like this:

Beginners and experts alike should have a goal of learning about and ultimately mastering WILD and DILD, because there will be times when one or the other will work best, based on your current timing and mindset.
