Thread: plmnko098's Workbook

I almost had a successful WILD last night without intentionally meaning to. I went to bed earlier than normal at about 9:20pm because I felt really tired. Just as I was at the edge of falling asleep I remembered that I need to tell a friend something tomorrow. I was remembering exactly what I need to tell him when my whole body instantly felt numb. I knew this was my body going to sleep from past experiences. I knew that WILD's before sleep are usually quite poor but I figured I would have a go now since it had already started.

I started doing my usually routine of counting my breaths but it wasn't really working. So I tried something new that I remembered reading on one of the WILD guides. I started to do basic maths problems like 36 x 78. Something that would make me thing about it but not too hard that I can't do in my head. After a few minutes of doing this I started to see some shapes appear and then disappear. I managed to keep myself calm during this which is a huge improvement.

Then a huge screen like that in a cinema faded into my vision. It was quite blurry. Then I started seeing peoples head appear before the screen all looking at the screen. The peoples head gradually got more detailed but it was dark because the only light was from the projector above me. A man stood up and turned around. He had long hair that I think was brown. He was wearing sunglasses but I could tell that he was looking at me. Then everyone started to stand up, turn around and look at me.

I could just tell that I wasn't actually part of this dream because I couldn't move or look around. I was observing the dream from the outside. I tried to enter the dream but I couldn't. I tried for what must have been 10 minutes without any luck. It was at this point where I knew I wasn't getting anywhere and gave up. I woke myself up and wrote this down before going to sleep normally.

I attempted another WILD when I woke up naturally at 4:40. I did a 10 minute WBTB. This WILD was completely usefulness. I just lay there for about 30 minutes without anything happening. I gave up and tried to just go to sleep normally as I had to be up in an hour anyway. I had a hard time falling to sleep normally so I guess this WILD failed because I just wasn't tired enough.

Luckily my dream recall came back last night and I remembered 2 dreams.
