Thread: WILD for newbies?

some things i have found helpful in attaining WILD's are

* listening to music with headphones while falling asleep

* rubbing my thumb and forefinger or toes together very softly and slowly

doing these together has helped me hold onto lucidity as I enter the hypnagogic state. as you enter the hypnagogic state you will notice the music begin to fade in and out from your consciousness and you will start to not feel your fingers or toes as you move them together. when this start happening i usually start seeing images and hearing voices within minutes.

Am going to try stuff like this - finger stuff sounds like FILD, right?

/Evs

WILDs are cool. mastering WILD means having a lucid dream whenever you want! but its not for beginers. Especially if you havent ever even had a lucid dream before. Its like trying to run before you can walk. i suggest trying some of the other techniques like MILD, FILD, VILD etc. but im not your mom so if you do try it anyway, just remember, the first WILD is the hardest!

[edit] oh and awesomeevs your avatar is awesome lol

Ok, this has happened to me a few times. I wear a face mask and listen the ZVF audio (which lets you become relaxed and then later repeats that I'm going to have lucid dreams etc) straight when I get into bed. After a few more minutes after it has finished, I lay still and wait. Soon I start seeing white light and it feels as if there's electricity running through my body. I can also hear an actual buzzing like electricity would sometimes have. The light would get much brighter and the sound much louder everytime I'd get 'shocked' or 'zapped'. This then ALWAYS leads to a false awakening and I become lucid. I don't remember any transition after the white light and I don't get vibrations like in a WILD.

Is this just sleep paralysis and was it close to a WILD?

Actually, my first ever WILD attempt was one of the most promising. I had moving sensations that I've never been truly able to achieve again. I was a lot more enthusiastic about it then, and since several failed attempts, I've sort of lost faith in WILD. But I'm getting better at it again, though.

OMG me 2. I got vibrations my first 2 tries, and nothing on my next 2. Although i didn't do WBTB for any of them.

it may have been the most promising, but imagine how much easier a second WILD attempt would have been if you had actually had a successfull WILD on your first attempt!
