Day 19:
Arrggg! :panic: That's my sound of frustration. I set my custom alarm to 4 and a half hours after first going to bed. I was sure the alarm would be loud enough to wake me up and not bother anybody else, but it failed to wake me up. I woke up an hour and 20 minutes after the alarm went off. So no CANWILD attempt last night. Tonight, i'm going to crank up the volume and give it another go.
Looking back at past attempts, i saw something that i think is hindering me. When i try WILD, i always worry about laying there and laying there not being able to fall asleep. With that thought in the back of my mind, i either give up too soon because i'll lose too much sleep or by thinking that i'll lay there forever; i actually lay there forever until i lose consciousness or giveup. So i think that this CANWILD should be the best bet for me. The alarm will wake me up and cut itself off so that i don't have to move. Then i just start my WILD attempt. I should go into sp fairly quickly if i manage to not move when i wake up. I think this should work; granted that i don't have to go to the bathroom really bad. :P I also need to go into the attempt KNOWING that i will succeed. I think it's all in the mindset during the attempt. If i'm worried i'll fail and not be able to sleep, then that's probably what is going to happen. So i'm going to get my mindset right, and go at it.
Day 20:
No luck. My alarm did wake me up this time, but this time it was too loud. It more or less scared me awake because it was too loud. So i need to find the right volume level that will wake me up but not scare the crap out of me. I guess before i can try CANWILD; i need to be able to wake up without moving. Oh well, just have to give it another go tonight.
Day 21: had a terrible night, woke up every hour. After tomorrow I'll be able to go back to my normal sleeping patern though, but for tomorrow I expect no success
Day 21:
My alarm didn't wake me up.
Failure
Day 8: 1.31.10-2.1.10
Alarm didn't go off, will try again next night.
Day 9: No attempt.
Day 10: No attempt.
Day 11: 2.3.10 - 2.4.10
Attempted a WILD during afternoon nap, fell asleep without consciousness.
Night: Tried to WILD after a good WBTB, but got impatient waiting for SP and fell asleep regularly.
Day 12:
Shut off alarm at night. Tried WILDing in the morning, but didn't wait for SP to set in, and went back to sleep. Will be a making a real attempt soon.
Day 13: Attempted a WILD after a good WBTB, but I fell into sleep without consciousness again.
Day 14: No attempt.
I'm thinking this whole saving-my-logs thing is letting me forget to make really worthwhile attempts. I'll go back to posting daily, and will start getting more content for those logs than just "No attempt.", wish me luck once again! (After reading some posts from KingYoshi in his thread on WILDing, I've got a slightly altered outlook on WILDing, so I'll be looking forward to more progress soon.)
Day 3:
I think I'm going to have to take a little break. I've been pretty sick lately, I think I have a bad cold. Falling asleep has not been a fun activity.
I remembered a dream last night though, which was pretty awesome :).
I've been doing the reverse blinking thing just to get myself sleepy and it works so well!
Day 22: couldn't give it a shot. starting tomorrow I'll be able to get enough sleep, and I hope I'll succeed in the next few days
Day 21:
Another fail. I had an ld; it just wasn't a WILD, it was a DILD. It was awesome. Let's just say it involved 5 nice-looking girls. :cheeky: Anyway, i set my alarm for 4 and a half hours after going to bed, but i woke up about 5 minutes before it went off. I went to the bathroom and was going to try a normal WILD, since i missed my chance for a CANWILD, but my parents started getting ready for work. There was too much noise and light coming under my door. At that point i was too awake to try WILD. I eventually fell asleep. Tonight i'm going to try 4 hours after going to bed for my alarm. Maybe this way the alarm will wake me up instead of naturally. Either way, i'm trying WILD tonight because my first class tomorrow isn't until 12:30 so i don't have to get up until some time after 11:00 a.m. That way i won't feel like i have to rush to do WILD.
EDIT: If the alarm doesn't wake me up, scares the crap out of me, or for some reason the CANWILD doesn't work out, i'm going to give Yoshi's WILD a go. His WILD technique sounds like the best match for me. So i'll go for CANWILD, but if it doesn't seem possible; i'll use Yoshi's WILD as a safety net. If that doesn't seem to work, i'll just try Yoshi's WILD by itself.
great threat guys :D
At the moment I don't have the time to participate, but it's very cool reading the posts and seeing the progress :)
Day 22:
No attempt.
I had a test and i wanted to make sure i was well rested.
Day 21:
Got some fun HH. Felt like I was spinning. I never felt hallucinations where I would feel movement, just vibrations and loud noises.
I got some ringing in my ears and vibrations as always, but it then died down and I was spinning.
No LD, but a great wonderful absolutely my favorite non-lucid.
Dude i think you were lucidQuote:

I remember on day 10 the exact same thing happened to me. And i made a mental note that if it happens again i'll just stand up and do a reality check.
Then on day 15 i got that same weird feeling all over my body, it was like a weird spinning sensation. I then did my RC And boom success!
I think we really need to pay attention to false awakening. IMO after you get hh, then you're extremely close if not lucid already.
Day 21: No success
Remembered a dream, but I forgot to write it down.
All my WILD dreams have started with my hitting SP which feels like I'm spinning and being dragged towards a loud noise, in a white background. After 10 or 15 seconds I just stand up and I'm in the dream already! It feels really weird but I love it.Quote:

Day 22:
I failed. I set an alarm to wake me up about 4 and a half hours after falling asleep, but i woke up 5 minutes before my alarm went off, so i just cut it off. Went to the bathroom, and started trying Yoshi's WILD. It didn't work this time. A few times i noticed the tinnitus sound, which is usually a sign sp is coming, but it didn't get past the tinnitus. I think it would have gone better, but every few minutes i could hear a semi-truck go down the road. Every time a truck would go by, all of my attention would unintentionally focus on the truck sound. I need to get some better earplugs, because the ones i use now hurt if i lay on one of my ears. Guess i'll just try again tonight.
Day 11: Tonight I tried the CANWILD but the alarm didnt wake me up.
Day 12: Same problem as day 11.
Day 13: I woke up after 5 hours of sleep, and i tried to do a normal WILD. I laid on my bed for 20 min, and nothing happened.
I am not sure if i am WILDing properly. What I do is to:
Wake up 5 hours later after going to sleep.
Get out of my bed for less than 5 min. ( I usually go to the bathroom.)
Go back to my bed, and i lay on my back.
Then i start counting my breaths, or I concentrate on something else.
Apparently this will take me to SP, but i've never been successful.
Any suggestions guys???
Were you able to SP whenever you tried to WILD?Quote:

Hey speedoman. Have checked out Yoshi's tutorial: http://dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=82529
Here's another good one: http://dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=66238
Maybe those can help you out. Those are two of the WILD tutorials i found most helpful.

IMO you shouldn't be trying all these different techniques.
Just do a simple WBTB WILD. That's my opinion though.
I just think that it would be better to practice one technique.
It's not like a simple WBTB WILD isn't going to work for some people.
It WILL work, for everyone, you just have to practice.
Day 24:
Too lazy to get out of bed
I'll put my alarm somewhere I have to stand up to turn it off.
