Thread: Is anything guaranteed when WILDing???

I have recently found via this web site that I can go to sleep after having been asleep and while in the process of falling back to sleep I tell myself that I am going to dream, that this is a dream, that I'm going to sleep and this is a dream. I also will think about what I expect to see, almost will an image of where I expect to be. Then low and behold the darkness becomes a blurry picture and then more defined and then quite sharp. The whole time this is happening I am still concious of that fact that I am still saying "in my mind" that this is a dream, then I am there having a lucid dream and I can play what ever role I wish. I know that I am in a dream, my dream, and that I can do what ever I wish, or mold the dream in what ever fashion I what, I am in control. But for me the down side is that I know that I am walking a fine line of being asleep and being awake and if I'm not careful I'll wake up quite easily and have to start all over again to have this experience again. I first learned I could go to a specific dream at an early age when in my dream i met this girl and when I awoke I wanted to go back to her so I concentrated on doing so as I fell back asleep and when I got back to the dream and her she actually asked where had i gone and at that point I knew I was dreaming because I never lost the concious fact that I had been awake.

Nothing is ever garunteed. Each person is different and will experience different things when using one of the LDing methods. Also, you just might require a longer period of WILD attempt than most people. This method is a doozy sometimes and can be a hard one to master. Keep trying and keep a positive attitude about it. It will happen soon enough.
