      Just wondering...

      I was just wondering if you could WILD just by daydreaming. I was coming home from a vacation, sitting in the back seat, when I realized how tired I was because I'd been going to bed around 2 o' clock in the morning and waking up pretty early. Anyway, I closed my eyes and just started daydreaming about some scenario (I can't really remember what it was). I decided, kind of out-of-the-blue, that now would be a good time to try to WILD. A few minutes later I noticed that I couldn't hear much, almost like I was yawning, but as soon as I noticed it I started hearing fine again. I couldn't really try to do it again because we had stopped somewhere and I had to get out of the car.

      I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

      Hi, i can't say i've ever experienced such a thing, or having a WILD by daydreaming...sounds to me like you were in the hypnagogic imagery stage, that occurs just before you fall asleep.

      Anyway, welcome to the board, hope you can stick around.
      If you have any other questions, feel free to PM myself or another dreamguide (the people in green)

      yes! daydreaming is a similar state to regular dreaming...we tune out from the "real world" and turn our focuss inwards, just like we would if we were dreaming. I just took a long car trip from Maine back home to New York and like you I had been staying up late and getting up early anyways, trying to make the short vacay last. I wondered too myself if I should try a WILD right there in the car. I decided it was too difficult to tune out because there was so much shit going on. But I can definately see connections, and it does appear that you entered the early stages of a WILD.

      You make a good point there

      I guess when it comes down to it, many WILDs are induced through visualisation. Which is exactly what you are doing when you are day dreaming. When you take your time and go 'deep enough' you can basically invoke a WILD from there. It takes some skill and practice though, its like doing it fromout meditation.
