Good luck.

Good luck to you too.

I just realise all these other people wished us luck too. I CBF quoting lol but thankyou!

Day 4: Completely and utterly forgot! I still couldn't get to sleep again until 6 AM and just woke up now at 4 PM.

Day 5: Was going to attempt, but could not fall asleep in the first place. It was also way too hot in my room.

Day 1 Didn't wake up... tried to do it at 8:30... it feels uber uncomfortable so i call it quit waggle around and just sink into sleep. Need to endure!!

Btw i just tired to wild before i go to sleep i felt 2 things... was it felt like my body is changing or something... that's the sensation and then another wave hit me and it feels like my chest is twitching lol.

Sounds like you were getting close. You may have been close to sp or at the beginning of sp. That's a good result for your first day of the project.

It's nice to see so many new participants in this project. I'm nearing the end of my 90 days. I just haven't been trying these past few days. Whatever attempts i work in, seemed to be half-hearted ones at that. It seems that all of the projects, papers, and tests my uni is throwing at me is really drowning out my WILDing attempts, along with everything else dream related. It's hard to focus on dreaming, when all you can think about at night is all of the deadlines you have to meet. I'm going to try and salvage what few nights i have in the project. I've been thinking of putting extra days into this project too, thats after this semester is over. I'll just call them my 90+ days. Until then, i want to make the best of what i have left in these last days.

Day 80-82:

No attempts for these days, but like i said; i'm going to do the best i can with 83-90.

Day 5: Completely forgot again! Woops. Gonna have to put a "WILD YOU F'ING MORON!" sign on my wall and roof lol

Day 6: Tried a WILD 4 hours after sleep, but woke up too much to fall back asleep for some time...Later on woke up a few times from nightmares but was uncomfortable to try a WILD at that point.

Day 2 Woke up at 5:14 didnt try Lol... it feels so uncomfortable staying still and focusing on something right after u wake up lol

Day 83:

Fail. I tried to WILD, but i fell asleep before i hit sp.

If you didnt try you'd be out cold ASAP lol... I don't remember falling asleep everytime i wake up but it just happens... real fast

Day 7: Fell asleep during the attempt.

Day 6: Forgot again! I slept on the couch lol Havin trouble sleeping atm. So bad.
But I'll remember this morning (it's 1:20 AM) hopefully.
Almost forgot to even post in this thread lol

Day 3 something kept me up... focusing on knowing when i feel asleep? I think i hit something lol.... I hear this strange sound thats not possibly produced by anything in my house and after a while my vision...... eyes closed it became darker and darker and now i think my eye lid is a little open so i see my room a little its like its spinning while changing color like grey to dark orange... subtle color and now i feel less of my body but i was wondering is something supposed to happen? so when i moved my body moved lol so i wasnt in SP.

Anyways the night was strange i woke up at 1am 1x am 2 14am and then 2 something AM 4 am and then 4 14 am... LOL and after taht i started dreaming about going ugh.... back in time and wondering which date did i left the future and etc. lol no lucid.... FRACK...... Grr i didnt even notice that

Day 77: 4.4.10: No attempt.
Day 78: 4.5.10: Attempt interrupted, during the afternoon.
Day 79: 4.6.10: - Day 82: 4.9.10: Made attempts on and off, both at night and in afternoon naps, though during naps I was interrupted. No results.
Day 83: 4.10.10: No attempt.
Day 84: 4.11.10: Attempt during afternoon, but didn't hold attention internally, needed earplugs, couldn't get close enough to sleep.
Day 85: 4.12.10: No attempt.
Day 86: 4.13.10: Attempted in the afternoon, but no cigar this time. Didn't have adequate sleep prior. Gonna go back to using WBTB and trying during the mornings instead of just during the afternoon, now that I have a pretty regular sleep schedule.


ATTN: All participants of the 90 Days WILD Project.
As I and many others in this project are coming up on our 90th day, I see everyone grows at different rates; some had at least one WILD (I know I did, though just barely), and others none at all. However, three months is a long time to keep committed to a goal, so let's all focus on this last week or two to go out of this project with a bang! And for those of you just starting or who are months away from the end, give this and next week your BEST shot! All you need is to stay confident that you can do this! That's why you got involved in this project, so let's do it!

Is that brown or black? I wan colorz lol

I totally agree Clyde! It would be awesome if we were successful in all of our last days.

Day 84:

Ah! failed again. But i get to sleep in late tomorrow, yay! So it'll be a great time for a WILD attempt.

Haven't been posting lately since I've been so exhausting from working morning shifts(7am ) Anyways, my reports:
Day 30-32: Couldn't/Didn't WILD due to lack of sleep.
Day 33: Had an overnight shift, tried WILDing at 9 in the morning, did feel some sensations but passed out
I think there is one problem with the guidelines of this project. I think that the days where you don't WILD whether because you didn't wake up OR you decided not to shouldn't count towards your final day count. Whether or not this gets implemented so late in this project is up to you guys, but, I think most of us here have missed a ton of days for WILDing. Myself, I have probably not woken up/missed around 25 days or so in my attempts

Days 4, 5 and 6:

No attempts - last few days have been beyond hectic and I got very little sleep. Even though I could have tried a WILD, I preferred to just sleep through the night and try to rest up as much as I can.

I'll try extra hard over the weekend.

Day 7: Nothing again, although I tried.

Been keenly following this project. To me, it proves just how hard WILDing is (have only WILDed accidentally myself and I can't replicate it).

I think someone could produce some statistics about which technique produces the most results in the long term; this would be a great help to people new to LDing.

Get 50 people to pursue WILDs exclusively for a year, and 50 people to pursue MILD/DILD exclusively for a year. Results would prove which induction method produces the most LDs in the long run.

Good luck to one and all.

Day 8: Woke up at the correct time, but did not stay awake long enough and fell asleep during the attempt.

Yeah, i totally agree with you. I've missed several days just because i didn't try, or i did't try because circumstances wouldn't allow me to. I'm so late in the project that i'm just going to keep going with my current day count, but i would say that anybody who doesn't want to count no attempt days towards their project day count, shouldn't if they don't want to. I just wouldn't get too crazy with the no attempt days, like don't do 2 weeks or more of no attempts. Anyway, that's all just my opinion. I would probably have a 2 weeks or 3 extra if i would not have counted the no attempt days.

Day 85:

Fail. Not much else to say.

I always believed this project's rules were person-to-person specific. I've seen people drop from the project then start again, and some just start over from Day 1 when they feel they've wasted too many days, as I know has happened to me. I agree with your thought there, and have had that idea many times, but didn't bring it up because I wasn't about to change the way I was going about doing the project. It seemed to me that having a three month project to see if one could keep with WILDing and hopefully succeed by the fourth month was the intent of this project, so I kept to that - could I WILD if I started tonight and worked at it for three months?

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!

I'm afraid there's a critical flaw here: the WILD method isn't the same for every person (I have my own method to do it, even though I tried following KingYoshi's technique, considered CrazyInSane's CANWILD, and mainly followed the basic WILD tutorial), and therefore will not yield proper empirical results. WILDing is good for some and not for others due to various factors - I know at least one person who couldn't attempt a WILD properly if they tried, simply because that's the way they are as people, with all due respect. For myself, I can't WILD in the mornings; only during afternoon naps have I had any shred of success. (See DJ and past project postings for details.) While WILDing is hard for everyone to begin with, they grow at different rates and will end up with different levels of mastery by the time they've reached the point they could consider themselves "able to WILD".

If it weren't for the WILD method's sporadic nature, it might be easier to compare to other methods, like MILD. However, it's just not feasible.

YES! That is an awesome idea Clyde Machine! I only have days 86-90 left (5 days). I'm definitely not satisfied with my results as of now, and i definitely want to be a part of the phase 2. My results with the current phase 1 are not what they could have been had i tried all of the 90 days. Also, as you said about real life schedules and commitments, they hindered me in this project. On some occasions, i would not be able to make an attempt because of lack of time to sleep because of real life commitments. Or, even though it would be difficult, i would try to attempt anyway, and only try half-heartedly, because of fear of not getting enough sleep. The setup that you described for phase 2 would work much better for me, and i think in the long run, we would all yield better results. I'm going to try my best to finish this phase with a bang. I don't think i would be able to start phase 2 right after this first phase because of school. The end of the semester is always rough and full of responsibilities. I would start my phase 2 after my last exam for the semester, which would probably be towards the end of the first week in May. Now, after all of my rambling...I am all for the phase 2; I would be happy to continue on the journey to WILD mastery (which for me would hopefully lead to VILD mastery).

Same with me bobblehat, I've WILDed about 3 or 4 times but completely by accident. I think you have to take a passive approach to it.

Also, with the last few posts, I agree. I was thinking the same thing coz I'm only on day 8 and I've missed a couple of days already due to forgetting or being drunk.

Day 8: I almost WILDed this morning. I woke up at 8 after falling asleep around 4 AM or 4:30 or something. Went to WILD but the dream I was just having faded slowly, I got it back but I went in to the dream for a second, realised something wasn't right but I can't remember what and then the dream faded out again.

Frustrating a bit, but still close. I didn't get enough sleep before hand. I think 5 hours of sleep would be a better time for me.

I won't be attempting this weekend either so I might just move to the phase 2 thread on monday because it seems more logical, rather than counting days you don't even attempt.
