      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.

      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.

      Ok guys you are gonna laugh, I had a DILD, and like almost every other DILD of mine as soon as I realized I was dreaming it started to fade. Somehow I remembered EVERYTHING that you need to do to stay in the dream: I started spinning around, touched the roof of my mouth with my tongue, felt the ground under my feet, rubbed my hands, looked at my hands. ALL THAT at the same time. Then I had a FA, but I made a RC just in case. I was dreaming. I got up and thought... what do I want to to... then I remembered about going to sleep in a dream was supposed to make your lucid dream better, so I went to bed in my Lucid dream, and as soon as I close my eyes I woke up, for real... unless this is a dream, let me check *plugs nose*, yup I woke up for real.

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

      I understand you completely, however, it's out of my hands. As a kid, whenever my nose was clogged, I would breath through my mouth and that became a habit, so, I find myself doing it whenever my nose is clogged. This little problem has been happening lately though, so, it's likely I'll find a solution

      Yes

      Day 26 = Well, I'm fixing up my schedule again, so, sleeping at 10:30 instead of 12, so, that I can still WILD on a daily basis and get some sleep before work in the morning. Woke up at 4:30am, so, thinking about 6hr in to get to the 4th REM cycle, however, since, I wasn't able to get to sleep right away(body needs to adjust) and woke up multiple times during the night, I wasn't very successful. I laid there for a while, didn't feel much, so, obviously didn't work out, however, once I get this schedule in place, I should be able to WILD possibly into the 4th REM cycle. I also plan to try the CAT method, since, it seems that the success rate is rather high if one is to go for it

      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.

      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.

      Hey Spliph and tommo! Hopefully, you'll be more successful in this project than i have.

      Day 79:

      I attempted to WILD twice. Once at 4 AM and again around 7 something. I fell asleep unaware both times. I was so sleepy that i forgot what i was doing and just fell asleep. On the plus side, i had another DILD. It was short but sweet.

      Day 1:

      Got woken by my alarm after 3h of sleep. Was way too sleepy and just shut it off and went right back to sleep. Failed attempt

      Ill try tonight after 6h of sleep, perhaps I will be more aware.

      Day 2:

      Failed attempt. Somehow I failed to remember to try to WILD. I was beyond tired yesterday night and perhaps that had something to do with it. I just shut my alarm off and went straight back to sleep.

      On the upper hand, I did recall a very nice dream this morning.

      Ill try getting out of bed for a drink tonight before attempting a WILD.

      Past experience dictates that getting out of bed even for a few minutes with a couple of simple exercises and a focus on LDing help

      Day 29 = No WILDing

      Got drunk, couldn't sleep until 7 AM for some fucked reason. Probably red bull.

      Definitely going to change my sleep schedule starting from tonight. I'll do everything I can to get to sleep by 12-1.

      Yeah I can definitely start making some improvements starting Monday... I will have reason to have a schedule.
      Good luck.

      Looks like thread is kinda.....dying
      No attempts for me recently. I think we need to motivate up again.
      Perhaps someone more advanced with wilding could help us. There must be someone who can do that after all. I think I'll try meditation for a few months and hopefully some wilds after that.

      Good luck everyone with your attempts.

      If it helps, I think I will give WILD a shot in 5 minutes . Only got 4 hours of sleep last night so who knows, I might succeed x)
