Thread: Hello everyone! I am new

Whats up man! Welcome to the site. Everyone feels that sense of fear/danger during the WILD process, but the more attempts you have entering SP, the more you will get used to it. After a while, you will learn that its all hallucinations that can't harm you. The fear will go away and you may even grow to enjoy SP. There are some pretty cool, trippy stuff you can see/feel during SP. As for dream control...it is something that takes practice and experience. It took me several weeks of failed attempts to finally learn how to fly in a lucid. Just keep practicing and if you have a specific control problem, don't be afraid to ask advice (if you have any specific questions in general). Your dream world is all in your mind, so if you truly 100% believe you can do something, then you will find a way to be able to. Any doubts, and it will make it THAT much harder. Its ok though, because once you do something once...you know you can do it again. Just keep practicing. Waking during the night with an alarm clock is very good. It helps a lot with dream recall. I used to know I dreamed all the time, but never could remember much. I built up my recall by waking during the night like you are doing. Make sure you keep a pen and paper beside your bed, so you can write down your dreams as soon as you wake up (you can take a moment to lay still and remember it/replay it in your head first if you like). I always write my dreams down in reverse as well. Like, I write down the last thing that happened, then ask myself "What was I doing before that?", "And that?" and so on. This may help if you are forgetting the details. Good luck to you and just keep practicing!

Thank you very much KingYoshi.

It's late and I'm about to go to bed. I am going to try WILD again, but am not looking forward to it, sleep paralysis is SO scary. I'm 15 and I'm a scaredy-cat.
I'm not afraid to admit it. But, is there a way to avoid sleep paralysis? Because I've had it about 5 times and I get terrified with horrible anxiety every time. I BELIEVE
I can do this, it's just a matter of time. But I'm impatient, I want to enjoy this phenomenon instantly hahaha. But thank you for the help.
