So last night I had my first LD! I'm wondering, when I complete things, or my info changes, should I update my original workbook post? Is there an accepted or recommended way of doing this? |

Congrats on the ld jacko! |

Hey guys, |

Hey Jellyd0nut! I can say that there has been an improvement over time and with practice. It's really difficult to give a precise duration for all my lds because they really vary. But yeah, the super short lds are less frequent, some are in the 5-15 min range which is actually enough to complete a ton of things and run out of ideas, while others can last much longer, say 30 min to an hour. Personally I am quite of a wakeful person so it's hard for me to keep it going for longer than that. |

I agree with what Ophelia has said. Wbtbs can be very helpful for ld induction and can help you get in the right ld mindset. |

Thanks guys! |

I managed to try the WBTB technique last night, and although I didn't get a lucid, I certainly had vivid dreams afterwards and great recall! |
|
Good to hear Jelly! Yes, wild is done in a similar manner as you retain your awareness while falling asleep. I think with more practice you will learn not to startle yourself and you should always gently try to focus on the dream/visuals you are having and allow yourself to fall asleep. |

So, I'm wondering: I have a bit of experience lucid dreaming, but my lucid dreams are always pretty random and always DILD. For Lesson II we are picking a dream technique to try out for a couple weeks. I definitely want to work on performing genuine RCs during the day and increasing my awareness in general to up my chanced of experiencing a DILD, but would you suggest combining that with trying WILD at night, too? Or should I simply focus on increased awareness for a while before I try the WILD? |

Hi Lucidity333, welcome to the class! |

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all! I'm just starting the intro class. |

Hello Timespace and welcome to the class! If you would like to do stabilization first thing in the ld, then you have to indeed be able to recall this. You can remind yourself about this goal for your next ld throughout the day. It may be a good idea to use a mantra like, for example, "I become lucid, I stabilize". You can also do this at bedtime or if you have natural wakes during the night. This way you are boosting your chances for an ld as well as you recalling to stabilize. |

Thanks Nix! |

Hi Timespace. Yes, you can definitely use more than one mantra. However, I would recommend not to use too many, say, more than five, as not to confuse your mind when switching back and forth between these. |

Awesome! Thanks again, Nix. |

I don't have a question right now but I just want to say thanks to everyone who puts work into this site. |

Is it possible to WILD with insomnia |
|
Hello! For wild to work, your body still does need to be asleep, so having insomnia is not really a way to achieve wild. Although, one might argue that being insomnia prone may allow you to be more alert in general and not miss the transition to sleep compared to others. That, however, is quite speculative. The best way to find out if there might be a correlation is by experimenting. |

I would like some input on dream induction. I think I heard on the podcast there was some good dream induction t4ext somewhere but I cant seem to find it. |
