Wish me luck...

[CarmineEternity]

Im going to attempt a WILD tonight. I cant wake up with an alarm clock, as i dont want to wake the rest of my household, so i am going to try the water technique. about how much water should i drink? anyway... hope it works. i will try to ignore the SP and hallucinations, if i can. if this works, it will be my first induced lucid! how exciting!

You sound very exited, I wish you luck! Before I go to bed I go to the bathroom and just drink as much water as possible and I normally always wake up after right after a dream to go to the bathroom. Good luck and don't move no matter how uncomfortable you feel after you've started.

alright, thanks for the help! also, when i wake up, im supposed to go to the bathroom, right? or will that lower my chances of becoming lucid?

so do you think that its best to drink loads in a short period of time or just drink like 2 or 3 pints over 15min?

well' I already did in chat, but good luck all the same. And if you do become lucid, don't let the excitement wake you up like I did my first time

im going to try the water thing again. hopefully it works and i can fall asleep before it turns into urine and i go mad.

Try using mantras and autosuggestion. I can usually wake up on my own just by telling myself that I'm going to wake up some time between 3 and 4. Also, If I set my alarm for 4, I'll wake up at about 3:30 because I'll be expecting to wake up anyways. Plus, this means I've woken up right before a rem cycle.

alright, i woke up last night, 4.5 hours after i fell asleep. i tried to wild, but nothing happened. no sleep paralysis, no hypnagogic hallucinations, nothing. im wondering what i did wrong here, too early to get up? too late? i ended up giving up, and falling asleep again.
