Thread: I almost entered a WILD for the first time!!!

Note: I just read that you're not suppossed to talk to yourself, but It worked for me and I was still relaxed AND it was a way for my to not lose control of my thoughts, so I will continue to do this.

I tried again last night, I even set my alarm 5 hours after I went to sleep, but failed again. This time NOTHING happened. I will not give up, though

DON'T give up!

First, don't give up! Just know that it's rare that people are successful every night or even every other night.

And as for reading that "you're not supposed to talk to yourself".. if something work for you.. ignore what you've read or been told and simply do what works.

Thanks everyone! I fell asleep last night when I tried, so I think I'm going to skip a night to get some good sleep before I try again.

That's pretty good for a first try! Don't give up and good luck. And it's like Clarity said, if it works for you, do it and ignore everyone else that says you shouldn't.

And yeah, the falling asleep thing can be a problem for me too [though I've only tried to WILD two or three times], I tend to lose focus when images and sounds start to pop in, it's a common thing to happen [fall alseep while trying that is] so like I said before, don't give up and good luck!

Thanks! I'm going to lay off on the WILDs for a few days, and focus on DILDs. In fact, I had a DILD last night, though I only had control for maybe 10 seconds before I forgot I was dreaming.

That's pretty good, even if it's a short DILD, it'll build up with time, nad I find with short lucids that I actually have more dream control than with longer lucids [maybe it's because I can't remember my lucid tasks?]

I'm going to try to have longer ones though. I just had another one after a 3 hour nap, but I barely remember it. I think I was only semi lucid in it but I'm not sure.
