Hi everyone, I haven't introduced myself yet, Im Jake and I am very intrigued by Lucid Dreaming. I've had them naturally as a child and have read about them for years but just now, in the past few months have become interested in learning how to produce them on command. I had a LD about 6 months ago that got me interested again and in the past month I have had 2 Lucid Dreams since lurking DV, one being and DILD that was pretty cool; I was able to conjure a few items but wasn't able to stay in it for too long. My latest was a WILD which I will talk more about now since this occurred last night. My main goal is to learn how to have LD's on command and how to stabilize them where they will last longer so I can explore my dreamworld more. Written below is my LD from last night: |

Hey, |

I do have one question concerning WILDS. This morning I woke up at like 4 AM and decided to try to do a WILD again. But, I lay down and try to relax and for some reason if im thinking about it too much my body wont let me fall asleep. Like ill get an itch every few seconds or ill need to swallow. And even sometimes I can feel myself on the brink of SP (or so I think), I start to feel a wave of energy come over me and my hearing gets very hollow (if that makes sense), but right as this happens ill get a terrible itch. And even when I dont have an itch or have to swallow, all I can think about is avoiding them, thus inducing the itch's. I focus so hard on not having them, that I end up having them. So my question is: How can I avoid this? |

If you feel an itch early in your WILD, just go ahead and scratch it. Don't think too much about it. When you are towards the end, feeling hypnagogia, paralysis, vibrations, and such, it can be more tricky. I usually still scratch or fidget. It doesn't set me back too far. It only takes a few seconds to get back to the same state of mind I was just in. Usually, it is best to direct your attention away from your body towards the end of your WILD. Forget about it altogether, so you don't experience uncomfortable transitional hallucinations. |

Ok cool, i'll def. try not to focus on them. I just thought about when I am trying to just normally go to sleep and not trying to WILD, normally it doesn't take me long at all because then im not focusing any attention on trying not to itch or swallow so maybe ill just act like I am trying to just normally fall asleep until I start feeling very relaxed, and then I will focus on the task at hand. Instead of thinking about the WILD at the beginning and messing myself up. I see now how focusing too hard totally screws it up. Ill try to put less effort into it. |
