Thread: The 90 Days WILD Project

Day 9-12: No success

Busy with school and homeowrk that I haven't been able to read things on DreamViews, plus the fact that I lost my dream recall now.

Day 13:

You gotta be kidding me... Again, subconsciously turned off my alarm!

Tonight: Put my alarm in a tricky place to reach, so I actually have to be awake to turn it off.

CBF checking the whole thread, I'm wondering if people can put their success/failure rate in their sig. Would be interesting, thanks.

Or put it where you have to actually get out of bed to turn it off?

I thought of that, but I'm scared to wake up my parents.

im still here. way busy and stressed out the last 2 days so while i still did attempts,

day 3

and

day 4

no results. lame. maybe tonight will be better. im feeling much less stressed. and i dont have to wake up early

Day 14:

Woke up at 5:00 AM, but stayed in bed. I tried to WILD and fell asleep, however I had a crazy chain of false awakenings in which I kept trying to WILD.

Day 13:

Again a fail. I tried at about 3:30 am, but just layed there forever with no results. I was just too awake to WILD. I tried reverse blinking, but i don't think i did it long enough. I was planning on trying CANWILD, but i started downloading dragonball kai ep 42 to my ipod at about midnight, and it was going t take over an hour. So my ipod was not free to act as an alarm. I'm going to give CANWILD a try to night. I just have to try not to wake up before the alarm goes off. I'll add my success rate to my sig later, because i'm using my ipod to post and it is not the best for typing. .

Successful nights: 2 out of 13

Day 13: No success

I do remember a dream or two last night but I woke up late for school and had no time to write it down.

Day 14:

Failure


Day 15:

Success!

So i went to bed at around 10pm and woke up at around 4am. I got up for a few minutes, then went back to bed. While laying in bed i start hearing hypnagogic sounds; then immidiately after that i start to get that same weird feeling all over my body (almost like my body is made out of jello or something).

So i'm thinking, this has happened before, and last time i fell asleep exactly at this point. So i thought to myself, i must be in my dream right now.
So i try to get up out of bed, for some reason everything is in slow motion, but it becomes normal 10 seconds later.
Then the first thing i notice is that the lights in my room is on (so i think to myself "great i can do a reality check") I flick it on and off but everything stays the same.
At this point i am amazed at how vivid my LD is, and how for the first time every thing is bright. Then my LD continued for about 5 mins and i woke up.

Congrats on the WILD edge0125! I wasn't so successful.

Day 14:

I wanted to try the CANWILD, but i had alarm issues. I set my alarm for 4 a.m., but i woke up 20 minutes before it went off. So i bumped the alarm up to 5 a.m. to give me time to go back to sleep. The next time i look at the clock, it is 6:20 a.m. My alarm didn't wake me up. I was trying to use a function on the calendar app on the itouch, but it looks like i'm going to have to find one with a longer alarm. Maybe i can find a good auto-shutoff alarm app.

Successful Nights: 2 out of 14

I havent been posting because ive been sick. I felt so bad that i didnt even care if i tried to WILD or not. But i am starting again tonight.

CONGRATS!!! to everyone who has been successful

Congrats !! All my WILD dreams start with me in bed! Like I HAVE to stand up from Sleep Paralysis for my dream to start. But my dreams are always dark and it's hard to stabilize them...


Day 15:
Again turned off my alarm unconsciously (On day 14 it did wake me up because I had put it inside a glove, and placed the glove beside my pillow, so I woke up in the middle of the night with the glove in my hand, I was unconsciously trying to turn it off)

Tonight: put my alarm inside a glove so I can't turn it off unless I'm awake.

Congrats man, good to see.


Day 14: Nope

No dream recall nor was I awoken by either my internal or digital clock (or I didn't remember waking up)

gonna laugh when you reach inside the glove and turn it off while asleep

Day 15:

I failed this time too. I had an awesome DILD at around 7:00 a.m. When i woke up from the DILD, i stayed lucid through the whole waking up process. I stayed perfectly still. I was going to go for a DEILD, but nothing happened. I waited for about 5 minutes, but no dice. DEILD's are supposed to be near instant, so i knew that i wasn't going to have any success. So i just rolled over and went to sleep. I still haven't found an alarm app with an auto-shutoff feature. Just have to try again tonight.

Offtopic: Yay! I finally got a sig. I just got photoshop so i had to make one. It's the first sig i've ever made. It doesn't look to bad does it? I think it may be a bit dark though, but i am dark_grimmjow after all.

Day 16:

I woke up at around 4, i didn't get out of bed, i fell asleep almost instantly.

Slept through alarm..

It seems like we're starting to decline in progress from the beginning O_o.

It does seem that way doesn't it. I just wish i knew why. I have noticed that i've been sacrificing dream recall for WILD'ing. What i mean is, i'm afraid to get up and record my dreams because it might wake me up too much to WILD. I wonder if that's a good sacrifice? I do remember a few dreams, but i haven't been remembering them long enough or in enough detail to record most of them. Like the DILD i had this morning was the first dream i have recorded in the past 2 and a half weeks. I guess i need to find a way to balance the two. Maybe i've lost a little of my motivation, because i think i've given up too early on some of my WILD attempts. Anyway, i'm going to get more motivated and give it my best shot tonight!

Yea it seems that way. For me i've been super busy with school, and this week has definitely been tough for me. soon i will begin to put more time and effort toward the project.
I have not been posting as often, but im still writing on my dream journal (My recall has increased dramatically) and im attempting WILD every night through trial and error; and i feel everyday im improving.

And for the most of us we still have 75 days to accomplish our goal. We definitely need to manage our time wisely.





I was actually thinking today. After the 90 days is over, im thinking about writing a pdf on how to WILD, like my method, and releasing it for free. Hopefully if i accomplish my goal, i can do that.

Did you read my post about changing the time you go to sleep and wake up?
That can help a lot.
Coz if you're going to sleep at the same time and waking up at the same time your brain just gets used to it and it's harder to WILD.

Day 16:

Well, I did wake up (found myself reaching inside the sock I put the alarm in, actually). But thats a progress for me xP. I decided to go back to sleep though . Well, tomorrow morning I WILL get out of bed.
