Thread: What's the difference...?

...between WILD and WBTB? I've been here a few days, and still can't figure that much out.

WBTB is simply waking up before a REM cycle and thinking about lucid dreaming for a short period of time, then going back to sleep. It's not really an induction technique like WILD or DEILD. Instead, it gets you focused on lucid dreaming right before a REM cycle and then you go back to sleep. You can choose to WILD, fall back asleep, whatever.

WILD is entering a dream consciously from an awakened state. You disconnect the mind from external perception and focus on internal perception. You literally enter a dream consciously.

Here are more details:

Description Of What WBTB Is

There are a couple of times when you can WILD. One is during a nap. Two is when you WBTB. WBTB is an opportunity to DEILD or WILD. Sometimes MILD. So when you WBTB, you will have to do one of the three induction techniques.
