"WILD" Help a Dreamer to be

[Xiper]

Hey everyone, My names Xiper. I have always wanted to explore my dreams more and the thought of this "Dream Life" was to much to bare with out checking it out. Well after doing my home work (Reading Tons of Guides) I thought I would try a WILD. Here how it went down.... 1. Set my alarm to go off at 3:00 AM, leaving my next REM at 3:30 2. Slept..... 3. Woke up at 4:00 and got up 4. Used the restroom and woke my self up 5. got into another bed and started to relax. I did this by Breathing in..then out and counting too 1 in my mind. I did this over and over till I got to 300. 6. I then stopped and kept my mind at bay Then basically I stayed there for a hour till I could spare no more time. In the end I just sat there numb..... I mean did missing my REM make that big of a impact or did I do something wrong? I didn't even get to weird feelings. Well I'm going to try again tonight.....if you can point out any tips or any thing I did wrong it would be really helpful A noob dreamer, Xiper

I know for one you have to sleep for 6 hours before you try... how long did you sleep beforehand?

Well I went to bed at 10:00 PM and fell asleep at 11:00. It was weird... I didn't wake up to my alarm but I woke up to a dream...I think. I was just lying in bed and then I heard "Wake up!" and I shot up in my bed and saw it was 4:00 am on the dot. I Thought in my head "I will wake up at 3:00" over and over before bed, I guess I hit a REM or something and I didn't wake up till 4:00 lol
