Do you guys have any hints on staying aware while trying to WILD? I always seem to sleep into a dream without noticing it because something causes me to not be completely aware. I really wish that I could remember the process of when I go to sleep every night(what happens when I enter my dream-state) but because I get distracted that's hard, I also don't know how I get distracted because i attempt to focus REALLY HARD every time I try but so far the results have been kinda :horse: so yeah help.
Could you be specific on when you WILD? Did you wake up during the night, or is this when you are falling asleep for the 1st time?
I lay perfectly still, I am tired but alert at the same time and sometimes I either count, or think about the type of dream I'm going to have. I will also think about how I am going to react when I start feeling the WILD phase and how I will control it to make sure I won't wake up (remaining calm, ignoring hallucinations, etc).
well I haven't had the hallucinations yet. It's both of the times waking up I have trouble keeping aware.Quote:

I think the best way to tackle this is with a WBTB. Wake up a couple of hours before your usual time, and spend around 15 minutes doing reality checks, writing/reviewing your dream journal, mantras, etc. Then when you go back to bed, you will be tired and aware at least.
