Thread: Clairity's WILD Technique!

Right I tried this, ok not to the exact extent of your instructions; which might be why I failed. But this is what I did.

• Woke up 3 and a half hours after going to sleep
• Got up, had a glass of water, got back into bed
• Lay on my back, arms by my side and rather than having my eyes closed and just being closed i put visualisations into the back of my eyelids so I could see the dream before getting there; this is what I usually do if i want to dream about something specific
• After 20 minutes I was still awake, and not dreaming so rolled over and went to sleep

I think I might just have been too uncomfortable, or maybe I should re-read your tehnique and try again?

Sometimes when I get the feeling that it's just not going to work and I decide to roll over to go to sleep, I find that since I fall asleep so quickly that I if can just keep lucid dreaming in my head while I fall asleep, I may still manage to get lucid.

Sadly no technique or combination of techniques can guarantee you lucidity.. unfortunately it's all just one big crapshoot!

All you can do is keep trying and hope that with every failure, you learn a little bit more about yourself and about what works (or doesn't work) for you.

Hey, Clairity. I finally used your "turn yourself around from the way you normally sleep" idea for the second time last night and it worked for me.

Well, I did a combination of things, including: staying awake a little longer than usual during my WBTB and more RCs during the previous day (yesterday) combined with your tip. Plus, I was due for an LD anyway so I can't say "for sure" what did the trick.

But, regardless of what may have been the final straw of success, it worked so I wanted to thank you for the great idea. I will certainly use it more often than I have so far. Not only because I happened to become lucid whist using it but, it genuinely strikes me as a good strategy, one which I've been neglecting.

Oneironaught, I too don't know if it was my "turn yourself" idea, the combination of things and/or the fact that you were due for an LD.. I'm just so very happy that you were able to become lucid!

For you.. I do the "dance of joy"!

May you have many many more LDs!

Ok, i got some some really interesting results here but i really don't know what to say, well i set my alarm for 5am but then i awoke at 7am naturally and then looked at my alarm clock and it had stopped at 5am and was not working, i wasn't going to let this stop me, i went to the toilet an took a gulp of water from the tap and then i went downstairs with a towel. I then lay down on the couch which was really comfortable, i put in my earphones which i recevied yesterday with noise cancellation, they really helped, now i remember getting to a point whilst trying to WILD feeling that m body was gone, i sort of phased out, and then came back part way through trying to WILD and found myself not feeling part my body, i could still move them but they were definately beginining to get paralysed and i think i lay there and just continued to stay calm, i then tried to slow my breathing, and i then i began to wake up a bit more, but i continued to do it and i don't know what happened after that but i remember hearing loud noises even with my noise cancelling headphones on, it could have been part of HI.

Now this is the interesting part, now before i tell you i need you to realise that i don't know i did this within a dream or whether i drifted out of a dream and achieved a sort of DEILD but i remember myself in a dream in which i was in my house and i began to drift out of it and i felt partially awake and i said to myself "ok, i know that was a dream, lets try going back into it" and i stayed still, i felt drowsy and i then dream imagery began to show, i saw my front room and i was sat in a chair and i was worried that i may not be dreaming because i was sat in the front room chair though i was actually sleeping in the living room to try all of this. Anyways i was in the living room and it felt real, no really real, but real to the extent of me thinking that i was not dreaming, but i was still skeptical about the whole thing and i knew what i had planned for my next lucid, i thought to myself "who could i summon to ask questions too?" now for some reason i picked my first girlfriend from ages ago called charlotte, and i said "charlotte appear" or something like that, i may have just thought it in my mind, and then i waited, looked in the chair next to me and my mum had appeared. I was confused because my mind always seems to play tricks on me so i thought about it again. This time she appeared but she and the dream world looked a bit fuzzy and i don't know what happened but i must have done something but the dream just got vivid, not really vivid but she became easier to see. So we got up and walked towards my rug and i think i was about to ask her "whats the best thing to cause lucidity for me?" and i think i lost all consciousness and i just forgot everything after that. This is what puzzles me, this could have been me in a dream thinking that i did this but it could have really happened this morning, i'm really confused by the results, i knew i was dreaming, it was obviously a lucid dream but i'm not sure how to approach it because the results seem tangled.

Well thats the results from trying, i think i did pretty well from sitting on the couch downstairs, i did fall asleep alot easier with a towel over me instead of my big quilts on my bed, it really helped though, with such results i am definately going to try again, thanks alot Clairity
