      Am I the only one here who cannot WILD?

      I am wondering if there is anyone else here who cannot WILD? Is there anyone else here who has the same problem? I can DILD so I am going to just stick to that instead.

      Trust me, I know plenty of people who attempt WILDing but fail each time.

      I think you just need the right mindset for it, be more confident, relax more, etc. Thanks to Naiya, I can WILD almost every night now. If you want, I would be willing to help you with WILDing, just send a PM!

      I'm fairly sure there's no way I can WILD after 100s of attempts. Fortunately many DILDs resulted from the "failures". I've accidentally WILDed on a handful of occasions so maybe there is a way but it's not worth that amount of effort for so little chance of return. Might sound negative, but sometimes you've got to know when to give up.

      You are not alone.
      No matter what I do, I cannot WILD.
      But KingYoshi's WILD Technique helped me a lot.
      I didn't WILD, but I got the vibrations!

      I think you may still be in the early stages of your lucid journey NakedAlbino so there's a lot to try yet before you give up!

      I have trouble with WILD too - I've gotten SP a lot but haven't succeeded in entering a dream since last year. Then again, it's never been my strong suit.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      You CAN WILD, you just don't WANT to.

      I used to believe I couldn't WILD. But that was when I made the initial newbie mistake of attempting WILDs before getting any sleep.



      You gotta find that balance after a proper WBTB. The balance between being ever-so-slightly aware and total unconsciousness. The biggest mistake you can make during a WILD is to not even try to fall asleep. Just lying still isn't enough. You can lay still on your back for hours and nothing will happen if you don't fall asleep. That's why it's so much more successful after a WBTB. You're in a state conducive to longer dreams, relaxation, and dipping into unconsciousness.

      I, myself, am struggling with two problems when it comes to WILDing. The first manifests itself when I do a WBTB. For whatever reason, I tend to not be relaxed, or extremely impatient. Not good. The only way I can relax is to completely forget about the WBTB and just go to sleep. So I usually do a MILD. I wanna find a way to solve this impatience. The second is when I actually get to the dream, but then it becomes a dream control issue. lol

      If you don't like WILDing, you don't have to do it. There are tons of other techniques. But if you stop trying simply because you think you CAN'T, know that you can. You just need to find the way WILDs work for you.

      I can do DEILDs which are very similar to WILDs but I've yet to achieve a complete WILD
