Thread: WILD - Wake Initiated Lucid Dream

I can do sleep paralysis easily but I can't WILD. I typically sleep at around 11 pm and set my alarm to 4:15 am. I stay awake for a while then fall asleep. When I wake up I don't move at all. At this point I get sleep paralysis. But nothing happens. I swallow a few times and my eyes moved rapidly. But then.....nothing.

Is there anything missing?

Hi,

It seems like you are doing the DEILD Technique there?
Your waking up and remaining motionless while waiting for transition into the dream.
The problem might be the alarm you use, it might jolt you awake too much?
There are two conditions you need for deild:
- REM Phase (Alarm needs to wake you up during active rem phase, setting multiple alarms might prove userful)
- State Of Your Mind (You need to be awakened in calm manner so you will be easily falling back asleep yet consciously, if alarm will be too loud or too sudden it might shock you and prevent falling asleep easily? I'd suggest alarm which volmue starts at 0% and slowly goes up till it wakes you up and stops after some time?)
