      Possible to WILD during a nap?

      I've decided to try WILD, and it seems as though I can only try it with WBTB because I'm not going to lay on my bed for 90 minutes waiting for REM to set in.

      I read somewhere that it's good to try WILD during a nap, and I don't mean a morning nap I mean an afternoon one, is it possible? or do I still have to wait 90 minutes?

      I've done it before. I've taken a nap this afternoon, I got the SP in my hands, didn't continue though. It felt like they were about to fly away. Scary shit...

      I think that naps are different so you don't have to "wait for REM" for 90 minutes. What you should also know is that experienced LDers can WILD at will, no need for all that waiting. But these usually have a lot of dedication and training .

      So during your afternoon nap how long did it take SP to set in?

      Lol, I'm asking cause I'm pretty sleepy right now and wondering if I should try it.

      I've done it as well, though it was a while ago. I was napping about a half hour and woke up. I went right back to sleep in a WILD attempt and slipped easily into it.

      It took maybe five or ten minutes - if that.

      There are no set limits when it comes to dreaming and the human mind.
      Just do it. Have faith, have fun, observe your HI, daydream... who knows, you might as well succeed in a WILD.

      happens the most when you nap...
      I got bones beneath my skin, and mister...
      There's a skeleton in every man's house
      Beneath the dust and love and sweat that
      hang on everybody
      There's a dead man trying to get out
      Please help me stay awake, I'm falling...
      Asleep in perfect blue buildings.

      I don't usually set out to WILD specifically, because it takes a long time to get your brain in that right zone. I just get that groggy feeling and I know I can do it, and naps are perfect for that. But then I'm an insomniac, and have no regular sleep pattern. They are all pretty much naps for me.
