      Hi Sageous. Thanks for your advice. That really helps. From your post I got that REM and SP are not necessary to WILD. But is REM a necessary stage of LDreaming or normal dreaming? Yesterday I re-entered the same dream 3 times but I forgot to engage my senses in the dream and it was just a normal dream (the same dream though). What I've found out is that the 2nd time when I woke up from the dream it was 8.30am; and I re entered the dream. Then when I woke up it was 10.00am. So does that mean you can incube a re entry just when you wake up but the dream itself actually happens in REM stages (around 90 min later)? Is this what you mean with

      ?

      Besides, I have the same experience with hypnagogia: I have hynagogia (with auditory and visual hallucination) just after I go to bed (so not even in REM stage).

      I'm not too obsessed with REM stages but I'm trying to figure out if your mind can actually prepare the dream ahead of schedule. That would terrific.

      Thanks for your input.

      I think I might have been a little unclear:

      Quote Originally Posted by Hypnopotamus View Post

      Of course it is. But I hope you'll bear with me for a moment because I feel that I should point out an odd twist in the popular view of sleep and dreams: REM does not cause dreaming; dreaming causes REM.

      REM is literally a symptom of dreaming: that rapid eye movement is not occurring on its own, but because your eyes are tracking the action in a dream. It follows then that you are in REM whenever you are dreaming, or rather whenever you are dreaming you are in REM. So yes, REM is a necessary stage for dreaming, but it's more the case that dreaming is the necessary stage for REM. I'm sure you already know this, as well as the things that follow, but, given the new popularity of REM and the accepted need to "catch" it so you can dream, I felt it worth mentioning.

      I could be wrong on this, but another myth that has become reality to many dreamers is that REM periods must occur in the exact intervals that all those charts and graphs dictate. Those charts are averages, not a rule, and keep in mind that they are based on a surprisingly small amount of research, and on lab work that might have an effect on the results: for instance, the sort of subject that can actually get to sleep "normally" in a lab environment with a bunch of wires taped to their skin (or, more impressively, with an fMRI machine grinding away around them) is probably going to be a fairly unique type of sleeper, but that type has become the norm, because subjects who might be light sleepers, or who have a real problem sleeping normally in strange places, are likely never studied. So the norm for sleep cycles, including the frequency and length of REM periods, may not be quite so "norm" as we imagined.

      On top of all that, I have found in my journeys that, since REM occurs whenever you are dreaming, you can pretty much enter a REM period whenever you wish to, especially late in the sleep cycle (conjuring dreams during stage 1 or 2 delta/NREM is not impossible, but problematic at best). In other words, yes, if you are taking a WILD dive right after waking from a REM period, there is no reason to assume that you will not be able to enter into a new dream right away. At worst you might have a few minutes of NREM while your dreaming mind spools up another dream, but there is no need to wait another, say, 90 minutes for a new REM period to show up on the sleep cycle schedule... unless of course you've convinced yourself that you must wait for it.

      As a sort of aside, I've come to believe that false awakenings are representative of LD'er's ability to enter REM without needing to wait for the next scheduled period. The reason, I think, that FA's content is so simple (usually "waking up" in your own bed) is because, thanks to your lucid input into things, your dreaming mind was obliged to continue processing dreams, though it was not prepared to do so, so it simply grabbed the most readily available memory for its imagery, which is where you were when you fell asleep (or perhaps where you expect to be when you wake up). So the rule for me regarding FA's is this: should one occur, just lie still and wait a moment for your dreaming mind to refire the machinery and start supplying more interesting imagery, as opposed to trying to do something, which usually taxes your dreaming mind to the point where the FA becomes more stable (no new imagery available) or you wake up (your dreaming mind throws in the towel, and your brain's wake-up systems come into play).

      Yesterday I re-entered the same dream 3 times but I forgot to engage my senses in the dream and it was just a normal dream (the same dream though). What I've found out is that the 2nd time when I woke up from the dream it was 8.30am; and I re entered the dream. Then when I woke up it was 10.00am. So does that mean you can incube a re entry just when you wake up but the dream itself actually happens in REM stages (around 90 min later)?
      Sure. If a dream has gotten a good foothold in your mind, there is no reason you can't go back to it, either immediately with a DEILD, or with your next round of dreaming if you're not lucid... and, of course, that next round is not required to be 90 minutes away, especially if you are a few hours into your night's sleep.

      Is this what you mean with ?
      No, I meant that if you desire dreams to occur a bit ahead of schedule (as with a DEILD), they will likely occur... oh, and one reason DEILD's work best if you try to reenter the dream you just exited is because the imagery already exists, so your dreaming mind has an easier time producing so "off-schedule" dream.

      But yes, and again, you can certainly incubate a dream now for your next REM period, whenever it occurs.

      Besides, I have the same experience with hypnagogia: I have hynagogia (with auditory and visual hallucination) just after I go to bed (so not even in REM stage).
      Except that I'm pretty sure that HI and REM are unrelated.

      I'm not too obsessed with REM stages but I'm trying to figure out if your mind can actually prepare the dream ahead of schedule. That would terrific.
      Yes it can, and it is.

      tl;dr: Yes, REM is a component of both lucid and normal dreaming, but REM occurs when you are dreaming, and not the other way around. So if you happen to be dreaming "off-schedule," you will also happen to be in REM off-schedule... and with lucidity, "off-schedule" REM is not only attainable, but probably pretty common (i.e., FA's). And, of course, if you expect that you will have to wait 90 minutes for your next REM period, you very likely will; try not to take all those charts too seriously.

      Thanks. That really makes sense now.

      I was under the impression the brain would release the dream chemicals based on some schedule.

      I like the idea of refiring the machinery. I could use it as mantra That might help me to DIELD.

      Thanks for your insight.

      Cheers.

      The past three or four nights I've tried WILD. The problem is I laugh too much then try to be peaceful and go right into deep sleep and when I get to REM it is scary but not enough to make me realize I am dreaming. I get up and record the dream, then dream more and decide not to get up and record it. Any ideas on how to make WILD work?

      Just take your time and follow the basic instructions on the first page of this thread. It is an fairly advanced mental task, and takes a huge shift in the mind to get good at. That takes time. It may take months, or a few years. You will still have the rest of your life to enjoy it. Do not push, just go through the steps and observe anything you can. Repeat, over and over for the rest of your days.

      Aside from that learn to do DILD, it is often a prerequisite for learning WILD. Keep your view of the process simple. You are trying to relax the body while barely keeping the mind aware. To much focus or thinking can prevent sleep. Finally for normal WILDs remember that you want to fall asleep. Falling asleep and not getting lucid is not failing. It is an attempt that did not yield a dream. Failing to relax enough to fall asleep is failing to complete the process.

      Yea I'm a newbie still haven't had my first LD (will have one soon though). This tutorial has helped me greatly, one I've known this site for 2 days and it has helped me so much, and two Before I knew this site I kept and kept on looking for wild tutorials cause all the others didn't explain enough or they are confusing, but this perfectly explains it the see I always tried the wild as soon as I'm going to sleep now I will try later but even though I tried it at as soon as go to sleep I have made some insights.
      ---------
      So we don't need SP to enter WILD or Is it not important?
      ---------
      Wait so every time I was attempting WILD I have experienced the feeling of it would be hard to move and it is like that for a long time so after a while I decided to stop the attempt I easily move and by the word sivason on another forum he said " I sometimes feel as if moving would be hard but that is a natural feeling because my body is asleep." Is this true?

      S.P. is really unrelated. Give this thread a read, http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...explained.html

      As far as your question about sleeping, I suppose only you will be able to decide if you are consciously experiencing sleep. I am sure there are many layers to the process of relaxing the body all the way up to true sleep. If I do this process and end up asleep, but aware I feel almost like I am on narcotics. I retain less than about 20% of my bodily awareness. I can indeed sense my hands, feet and so on, I can move them if need be, but with a need to exert my will. Just experiment and learn to relax more and more.

      Ok that sounds about it think. I've read the SP Explained pretty good read. And on the WILD tutorial or another page (I'm to lazy to go back and read) you or someone else said WILD is basically like sleep than maintaining awareness, Then I have something I want to try just try to go to sleep for a while, Then initiate WILD cause I would already be close to being asleep and that would lessen the time (would lessen the time for me at least cause I go to sleep faster while just purely trying to sleep) should I try this or do you think it would mess up the WILD.

      I've just started with this technique, but I almost always have a type of an out of body exit. I'm transitioning from wake to sleep, go through sleep paralysis, have my eyes closed. I still feel like I'm in my body, and can't know for sure if I'm awake or not. I'm not quite sure if I can move my body in case it isn't actually asleep yet. When I after a while has decided that I just have to be asleep because of the sleep paralysis and weird phenomenon that I usually go through, I open my eyes and have encountered tree different scenarios:
      1. I open my eyes, and I'm still in my room, I get out of the bed and do a couple of reality checks, confirming that I am in fact dreaming - false awakening, and all good!

      2. I open my eyes, and I'm still in my room, but then I start to float out of my other body, leaving my sleeping body behind. I can look down at my real body at this time. The problem is that I can't really float properly, I don't have a body, I'm just a translucent spirit who's drifting all over and not gaining any control... This is, I guess, a true out of body experience, but I don't know what to do to at this stage??

      3. I open my eyes, and everything is white. I cannot generate a dream. I have exited from this white stage two times, 1 time I managed to transition to a beach after generating several small images and entering one of them. The other time it was like I crawled out of a tight bag - IT WAS SUPER WEIRD. Like a birth almost... Then I was in a building, and the dream had started... Other times I have not been able to actually start to dream (or have things happen, it's just white, with bizarre feelings of me crawling over the ceiling and stuff like that.)


      Does anyone have any advice regarding this? Or should I just keep practicing?

      You are correct. When you are close to IT, one of the many signs could be that you feel your body being very heavy. There can be many other signs, or even none at all. But in any case, we are trying to lose awareness of our body. That's the best way to go. So it don't matter if it feels heavy or light, or same, or as if it's not even there, if it's moving or rotating or falling... it's best to not pay attention to your body. Just observe what's going on passively. But any of those sensations are a good indicator that you are falling asleep and you are perhaps already in a transition into being asleep and into a dream, if one is ready for you.

      It's best just let everything go. Try to make imagined movements with your hands or with your body. Like try to sit up, roll out of your bed, stand up, wave your arm, all just by thinking about doing it. If you are asleep and dreaming, you will stand up... and you will be in a dream, aware.

      I need some help with the WILD-thing. It seems that it is natural for my mind to be aware of the fact that I am falling asleep, and it has always been this way. I have never attempted or succeeded with lucid dreaming, but would like to be able to manager this process.

      Usually this state means that I am sucked into the state of almost sleeping (like falling and swirling into a hole, and then not feeling my body, but the mind is still awake). When my mind realises that it is awake but the body is not it sends the signal PANIC to the body wich jolts me out of sleep. I am so tired of this, and I would love to be sucked into a dream instead, even if my mind is awake. I just dont get there because it seems that my mind doesnt like to lose cotrol. I try to imagine different sceneries but i never "land" anywhere. I just float for a while before I realise I am about to fall asleep, and my mind wakes me up. How can I train it NOT to do so everytime I am about to fall asleep? This takes a lot of energy, to keep waking up.

      I awoke in the middle of the night last night and remembered to use the WILD technique. As i started to drift consciously i feel as if i a falling of being "pulled" into my bed, as if im being pulled into the dream. I tried to remain calm but instead of entering the dream it just passed.

      How can i prevent this and successfully WILD?

      You do not need to prevent this. It is actually a good sign. The variety of weird feelings one may experience is huge. I often 'slip' deeper into unconsciousness in surges that feel like I am dropping in an elevator. WILD takes practice, and even then only a few will work with many failed attempts. Keep at it!

      Many thanks to everyone contributing to this tutorial. It is one of the best WILD tutorials I've seen on the internet.

      To me as a beginner WILD tutorials are quite confusing, because I feel that I should be always "waiting" for something. This one clears that up.

      I feel the same way, SKYZ0R. Even the books I've read haven't had WILD tutorials as good and thorough as what is available on this forum.

      Hi all cheers from *edited out*(country flag added)
      After a longer period i've succeeded for a short wild again.It's mind blowing but again(like when i was talking about my previous) i was not even thinking of lucid dreams when it has occoured.Can't believe it.
      But...i've found for myself something very useful,maybe whos struggling give it a try.
      You know about 8D and 10D music? Hoooly sh*t, it helps to get to the trance state for me incredibly well.
      For those who are not aware of it, its an audio which is coming from behind(even if you are laying on your back) and shifting from left ear to right constantly.

      The short lucid i've achieved has happened when i just wanted to lying on my back in early evening listening couple songs of my favs,ended up a short lucid.
      Give it a try guys a Tube is full about 8 and 10D songs, although some of them are very poor quality.Keep searching and finding someone who is create goods,and worth downing it.
      I just downloaded month's ago, i was found out it can help(at least for me.)
      Give it a go.

      (for the record ,my local time is 0:18 so here is 4th of august now)

      UPDTno2 i've searched my previous post here, yeah correctly remembered. (#250)That was a spontanious wild almost like this,although the halus was much stronger back then.

      last upd, guess it's obvious, but headphones required.But since u lying on your back, both types are comfy.

      Hope y'all satisfied with my eng, love to practise and keep maintaining it

      I have been looking for a repeatable way to get lucid for several years now. What I have had the most success with seems to be WILD both with and without supplements. When I have been successful, I typically start out by repeating to myself, "I am dreaming" while I am falling asleep. Then, at some point, I am in a dream and I simply realize that I am dreaming. I find this process pretty amazing, but I have not, yet, been able to make it something that is easy for me to repeat. I cannot say that I really know whether it was timing, waking after a few hours of sleep and then attempting WILD, or anything in particular that made the effort successful. All I can say is that I was lucid after a successful attempt which resembles the WILD technique.

      I want to note that I do not recall being aware of the signs of any transition states. When I fall asleep, whether trying WILD or not, I often wake up several hours later without having noticed any of the transitional states in my process.

      So, I am seeking advice. From what I gather, WILD is a practice that leads to lucidity. As it seems like a practice, it seems like I should just practice what worked in an effort to find and further refine what works for me. So, I think that I should continue using the "I am dreaming" mantra until I have practiced enough to make it consistently successful.

      Does this make sense?

      Any thoughts, suggestions, comments will be welcome.

      Thank you.

      EDIT: My last successful attempt was in July of 2020.

      "I am dreaming" as a mantra is a very solid approach. You do not need to make it any more complicated than that. Learning to stay aware as your body gets closer and closer to sleep is something to work on, as it takes practice. You need to find a balance were you stay a little bit aware but not so aware that it keeps you from sleep.
      It is important to keep in mind that it rarely works. It is worth doing as everyone wants to get lucid. To put it in prospective with my training (maybe 2500-3000 fully lucid adventures, 10s of thousands of moments knowing I was asleep/dreaming, 32 years of lucid dreaming and a few more of mental yoga) and if I really try WILD with true intent I will only average 1 in 3, and if I half ass it maybe 1 in 10. The point is never get discourages if it does not work. Learn the skill and you should be able to have at least 1 LD a week, perhaps many more.
