Thread: Inexperienced

I thought it was hypnagogic imagery?

WILD can be easy too - you just have to get the right balance for yourself, waking up at the right point in your sleep cycle, not being too awake that you cannot go back to sleep, and not being too sleepy that you fall back to sleep quickly. Takes time to get the right balance, but with patience and practice it can be done. Remember rarely is lucid dreaming or the techniques learnt overnight; notice the irony there?

You can make WILD work easily with practice, once you know how much sleep you need before you wake up, and how long to stay awake for, then a successful way to WILD can be easy to find.

Good luck and welcome to the forum

Thanks y'all!

I had a non-lucid dream last night, when I looked at my 'name tag' twice, found out that the letters change but didn't realize I was in the dream!

The reason? I did the RC without intending to, which in turn makes me ignore it. How can I prevent this?

ok. see...here's the difference.

you can fall into the habit of thinking this

"I know Im awake...Ill just do a practice RC"

(which is 99% likely that thats what happened to you)

you have to stop and think with EVERY RC

"Could I Really BE Dreaming? What does this RC prove? What was I doing before the RC?"

if you think something like that. Only takes a second. You can do it whilst RCing you should have a better success rate.

Thats my 2 cents

In addition to the post above, a couple times a day slow down and look around, ask yourself, "Where was i an hour ago?"

My first experience with physical HI was great -- i saw these...eh...orb-like splashes of yellow light with multicolor edges and they started to swirl in a circle. I got excited and woke up

But otherwise, you'll just see pictures in the back of your mind and such.
