the method ive used for WILDing is counting breaths, and the only time if been able to concentrate was at the start of a vacation. now, my mind keeps drifting off to schoolwork, or something im going to do later. is there any other method i can use or some way to focus on breathing and NOTHING else?
check out all of the tutorials and search the threads and posts for different WILD tecniques.
I am firm believer that there is no right or wrong method. For me, i don't count breaths or count at all. I just lie still think of a relaxing place and clear my mind...I've gotten distracted before and I just think about sinking into my bed and how comfy my pillows are and BAM all three happened that way. I also just keep telling my self "I'm dreaming, I'll know I'm dreaming, I'm summoning my dream"
Check out previous posts though :)
it seems everyone knows exactly what to say here :)
thanks
Yup yup. To expand on this, one could combine the two, imagining that they are in their relaxing place (or, perhaps more helpfully, a place that they dream about often) and imagining that they realize they are dreaming (or performing a reality check), while in that relaxing place.Quote:

(Personally, I like rotating through several common dream scenarios until I drift off). Best of all, this combines MILD with WILD. If you fail WILD, and end up falling asleep, you are already primed to recognize dreamsigns!
