Thread: The 90 Days WILD Project

Day 19: Finally did a longer 11 minute WILD. (When I went back to bed I was slightly hungry though). I did the 61-point relaxation technique and by the time I completed it I fell asleep. Lost control completely.

Day 21 = I also accidentaly WILDed, since, I went to bed and struggled to sleep and then I must have dozed off and woke up again at which point, I feel my body become really heavy along with some other signs of pre-SP, but, I tried to slow my breathing to slow my heart down which in turn broke me out of it

Day: 20
Almost hit SP and got excited........... ;p. Then I had a MILD from my WBTB-affirmations so I'm not sad. It was a quite funny dream, because I was semi-lucid and the only thing I focused on was to sustain sensory input so that I would not wake up. One time I put my hands in a pile of snow next to me. Naturally, it was fkn freezing. xD

Day 71:

Fell asleep unaware. So, fail.

Day 72:

Same as the day before, but i did have an extremely short DILD. I was trying to run from a very fast and long worm. I took off into the air, then woke up.

Day 21: Did the Jeff777 Sp tech and it worked nicely, however, I got excited as usual as I was about to enter SP. F*CK how do you avoid this? I try to calm down but I'm too frikkin excited because I've never had SP ;p

If you'd like a little of my advice, from my own experience SP really isn't anything special. It's an interesting feeling when or if you can feel it, but it's not all that big. I see a lot of people getting hyped up about SP and never once talk about the actual WILD they're trying to get. Just focus on that - don't get too excited on any point of the process until you're seeing dreamscenes, because even though the process itself is really fun (for me at least!) there's no point in letting premature excitement cause any blocks to lucidity. Good luck!

Congrats Clyde Machine! It's good to see a success in the project. And congrats BohmaN on getting to sp. My problem is getting to sp! If i could get that right, i would be ok.

Day 73:

I had to get up early, so i thought i would give FILD a try, but i fell asleep unaware. I have to get up even earlier tomorrow for sunrise service at church, since it'll be Easter tomorrow. I'll probably give FILD another try, since i won't have much time to sleep. I may make FILD my "have to get up early" technique, since i don't lose as much sleep when i try to use it. I would like to get good a FILD, but my new year's resolution was to master VILD this year. I know that you can mix and match a lot of different techniques, but i'm not sure if you can mix FILD and VILD. They are both variations of WILD, but i think they may be too different to mix.

And for your question, I tried it twice, and for me it was awful. I was so groggy that even after getting out of bed and using the restroom, plus making extra use of motor functions in my arms and legs, I still was just too groggy to keep with it.

ya, well, that post was supposed to say almost, not also, but, couldn't edit it
Day 23 = No WILDing yet again, put off clock and didn't even wake up on the second one
This is becoming quite a trend. I'm hoping to get a WILD tommorrow, my sleep will be delayed(overnight shift) so I have a chance to WILD early in the morning Any advice?

Day 74:

No attempt for me. I couldn't go to sleep til after 12:30 AM. Then my sister woke me up when she got in the shower at 5 AM and my dad was stomping, coughing, and yawning really loud with the tv loud by 5:30 AM. I laid in the bed awake until 6 AM, which was the latest i could get up. So definitely not a good time to WILD.

@dark_grimmjow Thanks, it's good to know I contributed to the success trend of the project, no matter how little it may be!

My advice is to give it all you've got - you only need to get one WILD, so make it your best shot. Take no prisoners, make no compromise. Get your reward, get lucid!


Day 76: 4.3.10: Attempt made late at night, couldn't get close enough to sleep for HH, ended attempt and listened to music after 40 minutes or so.

Day 22 and 23... Schedule required highest amout of sleep possible, thus no attempt. Tonight I will attempt fully though.

Congrats to Clyde btw!

Sry for triple-post but I must write I attempted a nap-wild but failed. I found that when I'm quite alert it's impossible for the body to get past a certain stage of numbness. Body heaviness is connected to mind heaviness, thus you must be pretty tired yet concentrated at the same time in order to fulfil a WILD.

Very likely and you MUST not control your breathing. I have had SP coming on and TWICE I have controlled my breath involuntry on my part, guess its a habit and as I was trying to keep the same breath pattern, I had to a deeper breath which broke SP. Anyone have any tips?

Day 25 = FAIL yet again, did feel some sensations in the morning which were to lead to SP but controlled my breath and ended up breaking it

Day 75:

No attempt again. My dad was up before sunrise cleaning the house and vacuuming. I had earplugs in, but it was all i could do to just fall asleep, WILD wasn't really an option. Then he was outside mowing. I did get some sleep, but not as much as i could have had. I'll probably have the same noisy problem tomorrow morning too.

@Andres
That would be great to get instant lucids.
Just need a way to dream about going to bed.

Hmm, I got a couple of ideas. Maybe if you make yourself really tired before going to bed, in your dream you will be tired and decide to go to bed xD?
Or maybe you can think of a scenario in which you go to bed while you are trying to fall asleep, and it will replay in your dream?

Haha man, imagine if we can make a technique out of this. "Fake Sleep Induced Lucid Dream" maybe? so "F-SILD"?

Is this so you can WILD in a dream? I've WILDed in a dream only once, but it was the easiest WILD i've ever done. As soon as i started WILDing, i felt sp, then went directly to the lucid dream. It was practically instant. But if i WILDed in a dream, was it really a WILD? Because i'm not awake. I wonder what you would call a dream WILD. I don't thin DWILD works (Dream Wake Initiated Lucid Dream). Who know, anway, it was definitely an interesting experience.

@BigFan: What you do with your breathing during sp can be confusing sometimes. I passively observe my breathing. I notice that when sp comes on, that my breathing feels different, but i don't really "try" to keep my breathing pattern constant. I just make sure that i don't drastically change my breathing. So the best thing i can say do is, passively observe your breathing. Passively observing, as in noticing that you are breathing, but not much more than that. This is what works for me the few times that i have WILDed. It's hard to explain, but hopefully i made some sense.

Day 76:

No attempt. I was right about my dad being up early again making noise, but tonight and tomorrow morning looks promising. I shouldn't have the same difficulties. Hopefully i can get to bed soon, it is kind of late now and i still have a ton of accounting homework to get done before in the morning.

So, this thread is open to anyone to begin a 90-day WILD quest and post results each day?

Day 1: Absolute failure. My alarm clock didn't wake me up, so I completely missed my WBTB attempt. Once spring break ends I can get back on a decent schedule so I will actually be able to wake up when my alarm clock goes off.

Welcome to the project Zval537! May you journey yield many WILDs.

Day 77:

No attempt. I caught up on some missing sleep.

Day 78:

I tried this time, but i fell asleep unaware.

Thank you; hopefully so.

Hey, can i join in?

WILD seems like a great idea for me since I have some issues with recall and my only LD was actually a WILD which i remembered ohh so vividly.

Here goes:

Day 0:

Only about 6h of sleep planned for tonight Nevertheless, I'll try to wake up at 3am and perform a WILD. I will try not getting out of bed (perhaps with some FILDing)

I should be very tired so falling back asleep should be a piece of cake. The challenge will be to stay conscious.

Reporting back tomorrow.

Ok fuck it, I'm gonna do this. I tried last night

Day 1: My sleep schedule is FUBAR so I got to sleep at around 4 am and woke up by my alarm at 11. Tried to maintain consciousness while going back into a dream but I just feel asleep. I tried again when I woke up later as well but no cigar.

Day 2: Same as day 1.
