The amazing WILD

Hi, Dream-views!
I have been reading the forum some while, now I'm finally a registered member.

I've known about lucid dreaming for some time, but it's was when I read about WILD it caught my interest.
I've only had one real lucid experience, and that was within the same days I figured about WILD.

I'm not sure how I managed to get lucid, but I know i did the WILD method. The transition was extremely fast, It took just some minutes from waking up to enter my dream. As if something just came and pulled me into a dream.

The experience was very fascinating and scary. It felt more like being awake in a nightmare than a dream, but it was awesome. I had full control of my actions, and It felt very vivid. However, what was going on in the dream was random.
What surprised me most was how hard it was to wake up from the dream. I had to force my self to wake up, like I needed a kick.

I've been trying in the last two month to have a lucid dream by using the same method, but I've only had some few SP i think. (I'm not really sure...)

Every time I try to do WILD now, I'm to tired and fall into a non lucid dream. I've tried to stay up for some minutes before doing WILD, but then it's like my SP is to weak.
I guess I need to learn to focus more.

I am gonna keep trying. Someone got any good tips at keeping your mind awake? Please tell me about your WILD experiences!

What I've been told is that you have to make sure that you are going to sleep and just keep your mind awake enought. A lot of wild threads don't mention that you should be trying to fall asleep. Also don't focus to my on the images or sounds you hear. Just let then pass by as if your just watching a movie. Focusing on them too much for me causes my sp to go away and I'm been trying change that.

Yeah you need something that's going to give you just enough focus, but so you can still "fall asleep". Think of stuff like keeping a peg on your finger or put oil on your pillow (scented, and just a little bit). Stuff like that :)
