Thread: The 90 Days WILD Project

Day 4:

Unsuccessful Attempt

Used WBTB with Yoshi's WILD technique but fell asleep.

Day 28: No Attempt.

I WILL GET GOOD PROGRESS BY TOMMOROW (something I have to keep to myself or at least let others know because it seems we're not getting better results)

Day 14: My alarm did wake me up, but I was too lazy to WILD.

Day 15: Same problem as day 14.

Day 16: I tried Joshis technique but it was a failure.

Day 17: I forgot to set my alarm!!

Tonight I am more than decided to get out of bed once my alarm goes off, and Im going to try a basic WILD.

Tonight (well, tomorrow morning actually) I will set my alarm, get out of bed, and take my time to WILD. For the past 15 days I haven't been able to because I had to wake up earlier than usual, but now I can sleep for longer, so I don't mind if it takes me an hour to WILD

Hey guys.
When ive noticed this thread i immediately thought - wow great idea!
I've read entire thread and i must say that i can see a pattern here.
What i mean is why you keep failing. Its because on the beginning everyone was really motivated to learn it and just couldnt wait to try again(well kind of) and later on it seems like your minds are set like this: "I will fail any way so why even bother...i want to sleep..."(that's what u subconciously think i ment) that's why you constantly cant get up. Well at least that's what i believe. Actually it so happens that i've tried such a research myself but gave up after few attempts. I've learned from this alot however. So i thought that it could help you guys a bit. I ve studied plenty of tutorials and diffrent techniqes. I also tried to wild in diffrent times either during the day and in early morning(around 5:00AM).
What i believe is the most important in wild is as someone mentioned before the mindset. The reason why i think so is because no matter how bad your day was or how tired u are u will sooner or later fall asleep. WILD is nothing but "special" form of falling asleep(correct me if im wrong). So whenever i try to WILD i think like this "ok let's try to WILD or rather... let's go to sleep"
Try this and you WILL suceed. Oh and remember there is no try its only doing or not and if you start with the slightest doubt it will grow with the time and well ,the rest you know...

Good Luck and keep trying!

Day 23: 2.15.10: (Night) After losing focus, I've retrained my sights on WILDing. I can keep with this, and I'm going to. I will trying WILDing tonight with a modest WBTB.
Results: Had to get up earlier than expected, no chance to WBTB. (WBTB time was the same time I had to get up.)

Day 24: 2.16.10: Took an afternoon nap and attempted WILD after waking. Laid for a half hour without HH, got up before any trace of sleepiness. Must've got all my necessary sleep during the nap!
(Night) Tried WILDing, but was really uncomfortable, probably from not getting out of bed in WBTB, limbs and back were all aching when just laying on my back. Rolled over and went to sleep.

Day 5:

Unsuccessful Attempt

I tried to WBTB but fell asleep without a WILD. Had some pretty epic dreams though.

So what you are saying is, when we are going to WILD, we just have to think about it as "I'm going to sleep, and while I'm at it I will WILD"?

Day 29:

No success, but I got up and stayed awake for 10 minutes, did 30 push ups, went to bed and then I got some HI's, but then fell asleep.

Day 3: No success and dream recall is dead for some reason havent remembered a vivid dream since starting this. I am gonna change time frames and see if that helps.

Day 28:

I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and went to the bathroom. When i went back to bed, i started trying Yoshi's WILD. I kept trying until 5:45 a.m. Then i gave up. I felt like i was doing everything right. Maybe i just missed my REM cycle or something. Instead of using an alarm, i going to try waking up naturally. I think that the few times i've done WILD, it was after waking up naturally. If i start to not wake up soon enough using the natural method, i will revert back to the alarm and try to hit my REM cycles better. Oh well, i did have a good DILD; i got my first TOTM. I'm waiting for my orange name and wingies.

Day 18: Last night I was in the Lucid Aid forum, and I read that eating some ice cream bfore going to sleep can aid you to have more vivid dreams. i had some ice cream in the fridge so I gave it a shot. I cant tell the difference today but im going to try it again tonight, and give you the results tomorrow.

Failure. My alarm didnt wake me up.

I'm about to give it a shot

SUCCESS

Day 30:
I went to bed at 10:30, woke up at 5:00. I went to the washroom, peed, had a sip of water, went to my room, wrote the post above this one, then went to bed. I stayed in bed thinking about my next lucid dream for about 30 minutes, just as Miomek said, I thought about it just as going to sleep, 4 out of my 5 WILDS have been like this, after being awake for a long time (40 minutes to one hour) I think, ok it's time to go to sleep (JUST SLEEP), and as I try to fall asleep, SP actually sets in. I had a mixture of HI's and short dreams between 5:40 and 5:55, when I became awake again, then tried to fall asleep and THEN SP set in, I got the traditional heaviness with spinning around, loud noise, entering another dimension etc etc. In the dream (which started in my bed, just like ALL my WILDs do) I still felt heavy and dizzy and couldn't control myself, this was a huge problem in my last 2 WILDS, so I yelled: "NONE OF THAT SHIT TONIGHT" and the spinning around heaviness feeling went away , the dream lasted about 25 minutes!

Day 29 & 30:

Failure.

Update:
Lately i've been doing a lot of trial and error.
I think I'm going back to the regular WILD technique and try to perfect it; hopefully I'll be successful again soon.

Good Job!
So i can only say that my theory works!
You have to know that u where a tester of this 'cause in fact i ve never tried this(actually i did but i was interrupted few times) due to no time recently but im glad it works and also i think that regular sleep schedule should help so i'm currently adjusting mine to eqally 8hrs of sleep.
Congrats again!

Thank you ! I think you and I have been testing the same technique :p. I've been successful at WILD 4 times like this. I stay awake (in bed) for about an hour and then try to go to sleep (not wild, just sleep) and SP actually sets in. I'm trying to 'master' this method and see if it's possible to reduce the time needed to go to sleep and actually wild. Last night I could do it in 45 minutes, I hope that by the end of the project I can stay awake just 10 or 15 minutes and still WILD

Day 6:

Felt like I came close, but still fell asleep without a successful WILD.

Day 25: 2.17.10: Attempted at night, but without WBTB was way too sleepy to keep conscious.

Day 26: 2.18.10: (Morning) Attempted WILDing three or four times, each time falling into sleep without consciousness. Time for earplugs again, I think. Last attempt, didn't go to sleep, I'll resume in the afternoon and/or tonight.

Congrats AndresLD! It's nice to see somebody get a successful WILD.

Day 29:

Did not attempt. I woke up naturelly and went to the bathroom. Before i got out of the bathroom, i had it sey in my mind that i was going for a WILD. But when i walked out of the bathroom, my dad was about to go in to get ready to go rabbiy hunting. So with all of the extra noise and light right outside my room, i decided to just forget WILD. Nobody is supposed to be up earlt tomorrow morning so i'll give it a shot then.

Day 1
Went to sleep late, so I didn't bother with WBTB. After reading about it here, I tried a FILD - but I was too tired to think straight, and thought I'd try it longer before RCing. Fell asleep.

Day 2
Wanted to try a a WBTB WILD, but when I woke up in the morning I realised my alarm was set for pm.

Day 3
Unsucsessful FILD.

Day 4
Unsucsessful WILD, but I did remember my dream.

Day 5
Unsucsessful WILD, didn't remember anything.

I'd like to try to WBTB, but I don't get enough sleep as it is. I think that's my biggest challenge right now - I have to start going to sleep earlier.

Thats what I'm talking about!!!!
did you move at all during those 45 min??


Day 19: when I attemped to WILD my brother had to get ready for school, and he was making a lot of noise, and i couldnt concentrate enough.

DAy 20: I woke up at 4:45, went to the bathroom, took a sip of tap water, and went back to bed. It was a failure.

I have a quick question about that. How long does it take u(approximately) to actually get SP?
And how long do u have to wait till the dream forms after that?

@Miomek If you'd like my input, I'd just like to say that the time it takes for me to get into SP varies so incredibly much, I don't think my body has a set time to get into it. It can take anywhere from 10/15 minutes to almost 45 minutes, from all the attempts I've made. As for the dream forming, that also varies over a very wide range, but I don't know how long I usually have a dream form at. (Never been able to time it.)


Day 26(Continued): 2.18.10: (Night) Unsuccessful.
Did a WBTB (4.5 hrs. sleep), but once again didn't get out of bed after waking. I fell asleep for a short while thereafter, but got back up and did a proper WBTB. I attempted a WILD then, but with no results.

Day 27: 2.19.10: (Morning) Semi-successful.
I had semi-success! Woke up/fell asleep several times in the morning, attempting more WILDs. Once, I attempted a WILD and visualized a dream scene. I went from a groggy waking state into the dream with no lapse in between, but I don't believe it was a lucid dream. While I was doing stuff in the dream, I wasn't necessarily aware of me being within a dream. It was a short dream, but still progress!
