Hello, I'm Kamus, and I just registered in this website.

It has come to my attention during some of my research about lucid dreaming, and I decided to give it a try. Although I've never wandered in the actual trying, I always try to find more about it, for it seems incredibly useful.

Now, introductions made, I have a question. Today was my first try into a WILD, I tried it once, before sleeping, and in the afternoon nap. Just laying there, motionless in the bed, mind wandering into several different thought processes. 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or even more, I don't know, was the time I spent, trying to achieve what others do so effortlessly. It was disappointing, in a way, but such is every experiment that does not goes well in the first try.
I was not discouraged.
I've decided to try and ask, here, some thoughts that wandered my mind while I was laying there.
First one: Is there an actual need of trying the WILD in the 4 or 5 hours after sleep, and if yes, why?
Second one: Do I need to control my thoughts as well as my body? For I find that to be rather difficult.
Third one: From my research, I've separated WILDs and DILDs in two different subsections of the major one, Lucid Dreaming. The question is: Is there an actual need of the Dream Journal for a WILD? From where I stand, a WILD seems to be the most easily remembered, since it begins in an actual state of mental control and lucidity. I could be wrong, such is the need for the question answered.
Thank you for your time.
