I think this thread needs to be brought back up :D
Day 1- I tried to WILD last night, not much luck, but, I did end up with an LD. Details are in my DJ :)
How are you guys doing? Haven't heard much from anyone here :P

As I said before, I need to get back into lucid dreaming =/
Well, today was my last day of school, and I only got one final exam which is on monday, after that I expect to get back on track,
Good job on the Lucid Dream last night though :D
you shouldnt stop lding for any reason
Thanks, it was a bit expected, since, I've been having dream dreams :lol: You could easily get back on tracks. RL is more important because that would affect your ability to LD(stress, work, school, etc....). Squaddle, RL comes first, then LDing. True, he could still RC during the day, but, if he believes that it's inhibiting his study habits, it's better to stop it and continue after his exams are over. Then he can give them his undivided attention. Wonder where Clyde and Dark_grimmjow are? :PQuote:

Also, I will be starting a "90 Days RC Project" soon, basically reality checking every 15 or 30 minutes for 90 days and see what the results are :). A long time ago I wanted to do this but again, school kinda held me back. But now I have a lot of time in my hands to do this :D
I'm still here. :D I've let myself get too distracted. I've actually tried WILDing several nights, but i haven't had an attempt worth counting as day 1. I've been unusually tired at night after waking up for a WILD attempt. Usually i have a lot of trouble getting back to sleep, but now when i try to WILD, i'm out before i realize what happened. Maybe i can use the sleepiness to my advantage, if i can just keep my focus and not forget that i'm trying to WILD during an attempt. I've also been staying up way to late, which has been hurting my attempts. Work and a few other things have been stressing me out a little, but can't let that get in the way anymore. Get over it dark_grimmjow *slaps self in the face*. Ok, i definitely plan to attempt WILD tonight, but i was stupid and drank a full throttle energy drink (the blue agave flavor, they taste so good that i couldn't resist). Hopefully the energy drink won't keep me too awake. Good luck on the WILDing everybody. Maybe i'll report in with a success tomorrow; i sure hope so. :DQuote:

I think that 90 days RC one would work perfectly if you can get yourself to RC every 20min or so, however, don't use a timer if possible, because, you would be dependent on a timer to RC and if it doesn't show up in your dream, it means no RCing :PQuote:

@BigFan: I started with an alarm, RCing every 15 minutes, starting today I've been doing it without the alarm. Tomorrow I think I will start the official 90 Days RC Project :D
lol, well, I remember waking up to mine and thinking that I need to WILD. I turned to my side and then fell back asleep instead of trying to stay conscious. My problem is that I haven't WILD'd yet and the closest attempt occurred when I awoke from a dream due to fear, so, I haven't entered SP from an awake state which is disappointing :PQuote:

With that, everyone welcome Mzzkc into Phase 2! His schedule prevents him from making any good use of Phase 1's setup, and his motivation for learning to WILD is substantive. I wish you the best of luck! Everyone welcome him in! :D
Hello everyone! I'm not really much for introductions, so I'll try to make this brief. XD
I've been WILDing on a "when I can" schedule for around two years now. However, it's only been within the last year that I've started to come into my own concerning the art. Despite this, I feel I've got a ways to go before I'm good enough to satisfy my personal standards. I look forward to the next 90 days of attempts, and am eager to share my experiences with all of you!
So, I guess I'll get straight down to business!
Day 1: WBTB - Failure
Notes: After getting around 6 hours of sleep, and waking up to a full bladder, I figured I'd make an attempt today. Did my usual WBTB routine, and within a minute, was back in bed ready for sleep! Everything was going well until I started hearing weird noises coming from outside. It turns out some asshole with a trumpet or something was making odd sounds for gods know what reason. I confirmed it wasn't any kind of hallucination because it was still happening as I was setting up my speakers to drown it out. Unfortunately, as soon as I finished setting up, it stopped, and I was too pissed off to fall back asleep.
Welcome to the team. Nice to have someone who has a lot of experience with WILDs and you could possibly revive this thread again since everyone is busy ATM :DQuote:

Anyways, this happened three times with me waking up each time and believing that the noise was from outside and then I passed out :P
Welcome to the team Mzzkc! It's good to hear that someone experienced joined. I gotta say your LD records are impressive, 13 LD's in one day? That's SICK.
I have to admit I've been lazy about WILDing lately, hopefully you will motivate us to keep trying :P.
Day 4:
Woke up at 5:00 in the morning, straight from a dream. Went to the washroom, had a sip of water, went on my ipod for about 5 minutes and went back to sleep. I started to focus on my body, how it felt against my bed and started relaxing my body, focusing on my feet, moving up to my head, however I only made it to my stomach when I fell asleep.
Day 5:
Went to bed at 1:00 in the morning, after I finished watching Vanilla Sky (such a good movie, you should watch it). Woke up at 5:00 AM, went to the washroom, had a sip of water, then spent about 5 minutes on my ipod in bed. At 5:10 I relaxed my body, closed my eyes and started counting my breaths. At about 70 I fell asleep.
The good news: I have had 3 attempts, all in a row (one day after the other one).
The bad news: I haven't been successful
Also from now on I will have kind of a sketch for every day report, as this one:
Day 6:
Went to bed at: 12:15
Set alarm at: 5:00 AM
After I woke up to alarm I: Went on my Ipod for 5 minutes, went to the washroom, had a sip of water, went back to bed.0
To WILD I tried: looking and concentrating on the fuzzy patterns of dots I see when I close my eyes
I was: unsuccessful
I tried to get an attempt to count as day 1 last night, but i hit a snag. I set an alarm to wake me up for the attempt, but i woke up a little before the alarm went off. I had a really bad toothache. I tried falling asleep, but i couldn't. So i had to take some advil, and didn't fall asleep for about 45 min. (took too long for the advil to kick in). Anyway, i'm going to try again to night so maybe i can get day 1 under my belt. Hopefully, my tooth want bother me.
It's good to see that you're consistently working on the project Andres. It helps motivate me to really start trying. Good luck everybody on your next WILD attempt. :D
Was going to attempt a WILD today during a nap, but I had already been sleeping for over 12 hours and achieved 3 lucids throughout the night, so I felt it was unnecessary.
Next planned attempt is on Thursday, as I do not have work that day.
No WILDing for me last night, since, I didn't get any sleep(overnight shift :P).
Mzzkc, sorry for asking, since it's a little off topic, but how long have you been into lucid dreaming?
A little over 2 years now.
2 years? You must be a natural then! Which WILD method do you use?
Day 7:
Went to bed at: 12:30
Set alarm at: 5:00 AM
After I woke up to alarm I: Went on my Ipod for 5 minutes, went to the washroom, had a sip of water, went back to bed.
To WILD I tried: relaxing my body and counting my breaths. After 120 breaths I decided to go back to sleep (it was about 5:30 AM)
I was: unsuccessful
I'll probably never call myself a natural, for reasons that are way too off topic for this thread. =P
The actual WILD method I use is something I developed myself after giving up on trying to modify what others had done to fit my personal needs. I have a link to the core idea behind this method in my sig if you want to check it out. If you do, I think you'll find it really hits home for you, considering how you've achieved your WILDs so far.
What a coincidence! 5 of my 7 WILDs have been just like the one you explained in your WILD Count link. I achieved them by mistake, after failing to WILD I would try to go to sleep, and suddenly a huge wave of SP would hit me, then I would be in my dream bed and the dream would start :)! I sometimes refer to it as "Accidental WILD Technique" I'm actually impressed it didn't happen on my Day 7
Wasn't able to WILD last night since I slept like a brick :lol: Will try again tonight :) Curious, do you guys use RCs to try and become lucid? I've been RCing a lot recently but it seems that none have been transferring into my dreams and I'm about to give up on that. I plan to start concentrating on WILDing along with just raising daily awareness through observing the real world and trying to notice any "flaws" which would likely help me gain lucidity due to the awareness factor :D
Meh, RCs for me are really just a way of double checking. Awareness is really what gets me lucid.
Day 2: 3 Successes - 2 WILDs - 1 DEILD
Notes: On the first one I found myself thinking about how I was going to do it too much, but once I settled down and got myself in the sleeping mindset things started to look up. I had some very odd hallucinations of my mother jumping around my room and saying things to me in hushed whispers, but I managed to ignore it all. Of course, then I screwed up my usual awareness 'exercise' and took too much notice of my thought patterns and was then forced to emulate a seemingly random stream of consciousness until I felt the transition. Shortly after the WILD I had an FA in a DILD followed by a failed DEILD attempt, but I still managed to turn it into a DILD.
I woke up, didn't bother trying again, but still managed a DILD out of the blue, after which I woke up and decided to go for another WILD. This one was much smoother, and the transition occurred very quickly with minimal amounts of distracting SP or HH. Unfortunately, it turned into a wannabe nightmare and I decided it would be better to wake up and try again since I didn't have a lot of control over anything, really. Came out of that one into a successful DEILD wherein I used visualization to form the dream as I saw fit. It was actually really cool. No more attempts after that, but I did have another DILD to cap off the night.
