Dreaming and completing a WILD - isn't that the same thing? |
|
Last night I was doing a new WILD attempt. I have tried for month and I feel I`m on the right track but have not gone the whole way yet. Not until last night, I think. The thing is I`m now really confused if I really did go through SP or I just dreamed it... The reason for my suspicion is that I for 45 min kept my self conscious but did not reach SP. I gave up and rolled over to my back (I always sleep in my right side and I have tried WILD lying on my back but this did not help) because it got too uncomfortable lying in the same position for so long. I was extremly tired at this point so I continued with the WILD... Then I`m not sure what happened.. It feels like i start dreaming but I continue trying to WILD in my dream... I was not in my room but somewhere else. Suddenly I felt my body vibrating really hard.. Lights was flashing in my eyes like I was going through a tunnel in high speed. I could see some texts in different colours but they were too blurry to read. I tried to focus on the text but it seemed like I opened my real eyes and saw the room (the one I was actually in) The feeling was so intense real and frightening so I just wanted to wake up. So i did. But I now realize that i woke up in a dream so my question is: Did i dream or did I complete a WILD? ( I should note that when i woke up for real the time had passed an other 45 min so i must have fallen to sleep for a while) |

Interesting angle Webmaster and you might be right, but: If I dream a WILD then it`s out of my control, a lucky strike... But if I can WILD because I have the correct technique it`s a skill. For me thats a different.. If i can continuing dreaming I`m doing a WILD I guess you can call it a technique and a skill, but I don`t know this yet.... |

I am no wild expert, but what you experienced seems to be sleep paralysis. You may have fallen asleep for another 45 minutes, but you could woke up for only a second then entered Sp, kinda like Deild. |

It doesn't sound like a successful WILD to me, unless you knew you were dreaming the whole time, pretty much. |

No dream goals at the moment...just flying and letting stuff happen is kinda fun, and it's hard to motivate myself to try LDing lately.

Thanks for great response and answers. I think I'm starting to develop my own WILD technique where I`m relaxing for aprox 30min while I do countdown from ten to zero thinking my body will be totally relaxed at zero... Then when my body is completely relaxed and I really want to change sleeping position I let my self fall asleep.. After entering an other SP (this time with no light and I woke up to much) while taking an afternoon nap. I think this is my path.. I seem to be to conscious going directly from wake to dream.. So like innerspacecadet wrote:"WBTB-aided DILD" is a good name for what I`m now aiming for |
