I'll conceptualize the second phase and prepare the topic for setting up so it'll look professional and all. :)
[QUOTE=Clyde Machine;1430417]I would like to implement your idea into the project, but in a different way. For those of us finishing our 90 days with the project, we should end it and, if we are not yet proficient at WILDing, should proceed to "The 90 Days WILD Project Phase 2", in which we log another 90 days (or another amount of time), but only log our days as counting based on the days we make attempts, not just the days as listed by the calendar. This way, we can push ourselves during the first 3 months of the normal project to WILD within a three month time frame, and if we don't reach a point we're satisfied with by then, can go on to work on it on our own time, which is much more freeform and will work with schedules and real life commitments and such things.
Who wants to do this Phase 2 thing? I can start a topic for it if you'd like! :D[QUOTE]
To be fully honest, I am interested in WILDing(can be used for OBEs from what I hear) and joining this Phase 2 meaning that I would quit Phase 1 as complete failure. I would also like to try CAT which requires having a stable schedule and from what I hear, it yields fantastic results :P Would you guys be willing to join that project if I started it, possibly sometime towards the end of April so that I can set up my sleep schedule? :shadewink:
Same here except I am busy with work :PQuote:

As I'm forming the opening post of the topic, one of the rules of Phase 2 will be that you have completed Phase 1, since that is to keep you trying for those first 90 days, then use Phase 2 as an extension if you need it, which many of us do. Therefore, you'll have to keep with this project phase until completion before you'll be able to go on to Phase 2. I believe I can make some special cases for early admission to Phase 2, to ensure only those who are serious about WILDing will partake, but I think it best that you just finish out Phase 1, even if you only do it on your own time when you're motivated enough. Also to be noted is that you can restart phase 1 at any time, and can redo it as you see fit.Quote:

@BigFan: I'm always up for joining lding projects, but i don't think CAT would be a plausible technique for me. I read the dv guide for it, which stated that a steady sleep schedule is a key part to the technique. I don't think that would be the best technique suited for me, just because i don't think i can get a steady sleep schedule. My sleep schedule is always drastically changing, so i don't think i could keep a steady schedule. If you do start that project though, i will certainly keep an eye on it to see how it progresses. Maybe after i get out of my uni and have a set work schedule; it might be more plausible for me to try CAT. It would be nice to be able to use it to compliment my WILD attempts.
Day 86:
I feel horrible for having to say this after all of the finish with a bang talk, but...no attempt. I was late to bed and had to be early to rise; so circumstances did not allow a plausible attempt for WILD. I know that i will have to get up early again in the morning, but i'm going to try to go to bed earlier to compensate for it. Hopefully i will be able to fall asleep. I have such a hard time falling asleep when going to bed early. But that way it shouldn't be such a strain to get a WILD attempt in. 4 days left...got to get at least one more success before phase 1 is over.
Day 9: Woke up but went back to sleep due to a stomach ache. No Attempt.
Don't worry about it, man - do what you can and push yourself! I have one day left after today is out, so I won't be able to do so myself. I'll compensate by starting the topic for phase 2. :PQuote:

So, what is phase 2 exactly about?
I'll have the topic up soon, tonight or tomorrow, and you can check it out then, or else you can scroll up and read through my last few posts, which all include details. :)Quote:

The 90 Days WILD Project
Phase 2
:shadewink: :sleepmeditate2:
Welcome to the second phase of the 90 Days WILD Project program for improving your WILD technique!For those who haven't taken part in the first phase or who haven't even heard of this project, all you have to do is accept the challenge that you will dedicate ninety days - that's three months - of your time to improving your WILDing.
The second phase of the project is intended for Phase 1 veterans to continue to work on their WILD technique if they weren't satisfied with their results, but on a self-driven schedule - the days that count toward your 90 days of WILD practice are those that you make attempts on, meaning that participants won't be penalized for taking time away from the project for whatever reason, as it was with the rigid 90-day requirement for the first phase. Because this phase is aimed at Phase 1 veterans, there are currently no exceptions to that prerequisite rule for entry into Phase 2.
Day 87:
Fail. Arggg! I didn't get to bed as early as i had intended, but i did make an attempt. When i woke up around 5am, i went to the bathroom, but as luck would have it, my dad was getting ready to go turkey hunting, so i was blinded by the light in the kitchen when i left my room. So that woke me up too much. When i went back to bed, i tried to WILD. I think i passed out at some point. But i heard police sirens and a guy shouting over a loud speaker. I don't know if those sounds came from a hypnagogic hallucinations or i was at the end of a dream, but they woke me up. After i was woken up from the strange sounds, i slipped back off to sleep.
All i have left are days 88-90 (3 days). I really want to get one more success. I think my best shot will be to get to bed earlier this time (like i intended to last night) and to set an alarm to wake me up before anybody else will be up. That way there should be no lights on that will wake me up and the traffic on the road should be low, so maybe i want need earplugs. Just have to give it a shot. :D
@ClydeMachine: The setup for phase 2 looks great! I'm stoked about getting started on the next half of the project. After i finish phase 1, i may jump right into it, instead of waiting for the end of my classes. It all depends on the work load, but either way, i can't wait to get started on it. :cheeky: Going to do the best i can with the last few days.
I think I will try this because WILDing has been pretty rewarding in the past few weeks. I will start with the nap I took around noon because I tried a WILD.
Day 1: Almost no sleep last night so I took a nap around noon. I woke up around thirty minutes later still tired. I feel confident to WILD again so I just sit there counting to 100. Soon I feel the paralysis take me over. I wait for the odd sounds, but nothing happens. Its like I died. I'm staring into nothing, but I feel as if the nothingness is staring back. I begin to sing because I'm really bored. Another five minutes fly by as I continue to sing Blink-182 songs for some reason (not sure why I chose their songs:P). Suddenly I feel as if I can move, and I can. I just moan as I get out of bed and reach the hallway. I quickly look around and see my sisters room. I suddenly remember to RC only to find out I am dreaming. So I have succeeded on the first day. I am excited for the upcoming days!
I decided I will try to WILD in the next 5 days and count them as day 86, 87, 88, 89 and 90 for phase 1. Tomorrow would actually be day 88 for me, but I thought that taking 2 extra days might give me a better start for phase 2 since I haven't been committed to WILD since day 61 (when I basically quit the project).
Day 10: Forgot, no attempt.
Day 6 No attempt or did i not wake up lol
Fuck. That. Shit. I'm not finishing phase 1 when phase 2 actually makes sense and would be a better indicator of process over 90 days. Otherwise phase 2 won't show anyone how well 90 days of WILDing helps, it will be 170 days.Quote:

I have no idea what's at work lol, but ill try my best in phase 1 of 90 days then my phase 2 will be as many days as i want it to be, to see the results and get attuned with wilding. TONIGHT I WILL WILD DAMN IT Its not taht I CANT its just that i went to sleep asap lol
Day 7, i woke up at 4 and it was a pain the butt, the alarm went OFF 4 times i couldnt go to sleep because i pressed wrong button 2-3 time it woke me up again.... 4th time i have to wait 5 min cuz im tired of getting woken up or startled for it to ring so i can press the right button..
I decided to wild but it was so cold that i gave up lol... AC was on.
Day 86: Woke up at 5:00, got out of bed, did 30 push ups, went back to bed. I tried to focus on the sound made by my fan, but fell asleep in about 10 seconds. Tomorrow morning I think I will do 30 push ups, then go on dreamviews for about 10 minutes, then go to bed.
Day 88:
No good. I woke up at a little before 5am, and went to the bathroom. I went back to bed a started trying to WILD. It was quiet enough that i didn't need earplugs. After trying for about 30 seconds, i heard my sister in her closet and then she went to take a shower. Dang, who knew it could be so hard to get some peace and quiet around 5 and 6am!? I just can't seem to get a day when everyone stays in the bed at least until 7am. I thought it would be quiet this morning but i guess i'll just have to wake up before 5am to try WILD. There shouldn't be anybody up before that. :panic:
Day 11: No attempt.
Is it too late for me to join?
Anyone can join whenever they want to.Quote:

By making a phase 2, not only are you splitting up the members, but, phase 2 makes more sense since as tommo indicated and I mentioned in a previous post, you actually get an accurate picture of how you progressed over your WILD attempts and your cues plus you have other members to give you tips and their accounts on the subject :) Personally, I think making another new thread which is unlimited WILD attempts would be a much better idea than phase 1 since we get everyone on a new page(newbies and veterans alike) and all make some effort to actually WILD indicating ONLY the days that WILDing was tried, not the days in a row like in this project which was probably the biggest flaw :PQuote:
