I did yeah, but the other benefits were in my mind too (health, money, etc) I'd tried a few times and failed, but after having my first LD its really inspired me to never smoke again! I found it easy to replace a smoke with something else, weather it was doodling in my book (which I do a lot) or eating / drinking. I did notice that if I told all my mates and family to be really angry at me if they caught me smoking, the one time I did ask for a cigarette I got shouted at and it stopped me from doing it!

Sure thing

I guess so.. I've only attempted WILD a couple of times, I just got a successful one yesterday!
But yea, most times I try to WILD, it seems like I'm awake for a loooooooong time. But when I look at the time, I actually slept a long time already. Something like that. Maybe it's just your brain messing with you, since your mind is pretty much awake, and your body is still sleepy (and falls asleep even when your mind hasn't yet)

Wait are you sugesting that when someone WILDs time is no what it seems? Like I dont know... maybe I feel like I wasted an hour just lying there when maybe I actually fell asleep for awhile or maybe not as much time passed as I thought? I never really thought about this. HA!

Yep! That's exactly how I feel! I'm not sure if everyone else feels the same way though. Also, isn't that true to dreams as well? You feel like you lived a lifetime of dreams, but it was just a few hours or minutes in reality

Yea I think that might have been part of the SP. When I had my first WILD, I felt something similar. I tried not to focus on it, and somehow, a few seconds later, the dream started forming right before my eyes! It was incredible. It was also very hard for me to transition into the dream, it took a while to get myself "in" it.

Next time it happens, try to just visualize what you wanna see maybe? If it doesn't work, try another approach. Sooner or later you'll find something that works well for you Good luck!
