Thread: The 90 Days WILD Project

Day 3

Attempted to WILD before going to be, but fell asleep while focusing LOL

I woke up a few times at night (without alarm clock) jotted down my dreams and attempted to WILD (which would be easy as it was right after a REM and around 10 minutes I was awake) My fingers were hurting me so could not focus!!

Day 16: No attempt.

Day 39-42: No WILD attempt

Day 17: Was too tired to make any real attempt.

Day 43: Tried using binaural beats, felt some numbness, relaxed a bit but once they were over, I ended up going back to sleep

Day 4

Once more, attempted to WILD at night (I'm getting close to be able to use the alarm at night without bothering my wife ) I was too tired this night and felt asleep in no time. I woke up a couple of times at night, but I felt asleep in seconds.

I had to wake up at 6am to drive my wife to work, I went back home, used a hypnotic song I had to attempt it, but the sound of the cars from the freeway, the purr from both of my cats () and the low quality of the song (used my laptop speakers and could not hear well the everlasting background buzz from the song, which is provably the hypnotic clue) I need to get an I-Pod for this

For the alarm, I found that when I started using my phone's alarm, I sleep with the headphones in my ears, however, a couple of times later, I found that I couldn't sleep if they were there, so, you might wanna try this if you haven't yet. I would also look at binaural beats, supposed to help

Awesome idea. Do you know where can I find Binaural beats for my i-pod nano (no video support) Free or low cost if possible!

there is a thread on here that had a link to youtube videos. Also, just go to youtube and search for them, you should be able to find some. I tried them this morning, got some relaxation, numbness, etc.... but no luck. Plan to try them when WILDing

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.

Yep, does require a stable schedule, but, that's its beauty. From past experience, I've found that staying up late till 1 and after is not as good as it seems since you wake up later and more tired the next day. I would much prefer to sleep till 6 or 7 the next day and then not be tired and having as much OR more time than if I was to stay up all night

For anyone who is interested in the CAT method, I just started a new thread about it. There is also a link in my sig. WILD might be interesting but in over 40 days, I haven't had a single success and personally, I've been slacking off on my RCs ever since my last LD, so, I won't be getting a DILD anytime soon. With CAT on the other hand, it'll help me get a set schedule, help with dream recall due to mild REM rebounds and help me get a couple of lucids a week since it's success rate is pretty high

Day 5

Some folks at the #DV already can guess my WILD for yesterday night. Woke up at 6am and went to be at 1 AM next day (today)... counted three of my breaths for WILD and sleep hard I think I felt SP but it was a dream for sure... but I felt it different than normal and after the 3rd breath is impossible to get SP already... I neither had HH nor LD... so for sure I felt asleep...
At the middle of the night: I wake up... 1s second: I have to jot down my dream. 2nd second: I have to WILD too, 3rd second: ZzZzZzZzZZzzzZZzZZ Guess the result for both jotting the dream and the WILD?

Hey guys, so i've decided to continue where i left off if thats ok; i'll go ahead and finish up my 90 days.


Day 61:

Failed to wild. But i was able to remember 3 dreams.

Day 18: No attempt. Ugh.

Hello everyone,
Like those before me, I am going to leave this project in order to concentrate on my CAT research since WILDing during the night would cut into my research and I'll rather not any outside interference Good luck to all and I'll still drop by to read and encourage you all

Day 12, woke up and went back to bed. dunno what CAT is BigFan, but if you want to succeed LDING you gotta commit.

Day 19: Attempted while falling asleep, had slight auditory HH, but could not stay focused enough and fell asleep. Alarm clock woke me up later but I did not stay up long enough to have any sort of success with a WILD, I just fell back asleep.

Of course, but, CATing doesn't allow WILDing, don't plan on interrupting my sleep when CAT can give me a much higher chance of LDs

Day 2 and 3
No attempt alarm didn't go off.

Day 6th

Fell asleep while attempting it.

what is CAT lol, anyways Day13 woke up at 5 am got some stuff on my mind so i just lay there till i sank got a ld realized multiple times through multiple dreams

Day 20: Woke up by my alarm at 4am, which it wasn't set for, so did a few reality checks... nothing. At that point tried to WILD, but unfortunately I have a hard time actually getting out of bed to wake me up XD so I just fell back asleep.

Day 7

I'm having a few stress days and I do not even have time to think... I think its affecting a little my WILDs as after a while laying down, I start feeling uncomfortable and I have to move. I'm sure is a phase and will go on sooner or later. At least my recall is working great.

Day 4 no attempt.

Small tip to those with the repeated entries of: "I couldn't get out of bed, didn't feel like trying, no motivation, fell right back asleep"

Try doing a WILD during the morning hours instead of during the night. You're more awake, which makes the entire process tons easier in my opinion. I guess it's just all about trying different techniques and finding the one that works for you

It's a method invented by Daniel Love in 2004 that involves adjusting your circadian cycle. You need a stable schedule to start and then you do a 1 week 1.5hr earlier than your actual wake up time adjustment. You do RCs intensively during this and once the week is over, you go back to your normal sleep schedule. Considering that you have taught your brain to wake up before you wake up and you've been doing a LOT of RCs during that period, your logic centre is likely to wake up during that period along with the possibility of doing RCs which will give you a very high chance of lucidity. A plus to it is that you have more vivid dreams and you will likely remember those dreams as well, so, better dream recall It has a high success rate, 8 out of 10 students of his reported an increase in the number of LD, up to 4 LD a week which is more than I've gotten in over 2 month. Surprised that the method isn't used much even though most on here are still in school and have somewhat of a set schedule. Check out my CAT link in my sig for more details

My advice is to just jump out as in imagine yourself rocking and then jump out if you find it that hard. You could also roll to the side of your bed and thus get out, but, be careful not to hurt yourself Willpower also goes a LONG way
