Thread: SenrPF's Workbook

Hello again!

* Study (and perhaps ask on the forum) on how to keep consciousness in WILD or carry it to DILD. This is what I think is failing and should improve!

Here are two tutorials about wild that you can use for reference, they have different ways of entry into wild too.

Ok, let's see if I have some tips about wilding.

One thing to experiment with is the length of the wbtb before wilding. Some people spend the time out of bed, while others do their wbtbs in bed (but this has the risk of falling asleep ). I usually visit the restroom, then spend some more time awake trying to keep a fresh mind, thinking about lucid dreaming, repeating mantras, goals. Once I feel I'm awake enough and not drowsy as to fall asleep immediately, I focus on relaxing.

I may focus on my body, the darkness in front of my eyes, my breathing or a combination of these and just try to keep my mind empty. This usually has been much more helpful for me personally to transition into a dream - basically just focusing on the relaxing, which is an anchor for the attention and allows the body to gently fall asleep with no effort. Another option would be when relaxing to imagine some movement like moving one's hand or swimming, cycling, etc. and at some point you may find yourself in the dream doing this. Also, what's important is to analyze less while the process is happening, hence the focus on relaxation and not as much on the steps.

Another thing to remember is that, even if a wild is not successful, because you have been trying to have an ld, your awareness will be higher, especially after wbtb (and with longer ones even more so), so chances for a dild are higher too. Your intent and expectation to have an ld also play a great role. In the same way you expect to wake up and remember your dreams, set the intent, a strong expectation that you will have an ld. When you are relaxing doing your wild attempt, expect and be certain that even if you miss the transition, you will have an ld.
