Thread: how do YOU transition into dreams from WILDS?

Wow that's really interesting I'll have to try this... Can you add more to that or is that it?

Well this is weird cause every time I start getting into SP I automatically transition with no effort. I just wait a little bit after the HS and open my eyes. Then I'm in a dream.

I usually focus on an image (last time was a cave) and end up in it within a dream. But I do notice its not very clear up until I do reality checks, and feel around. For me using any place I have been to in the past gets me to transition over easily.

Well, I've only successfully WILDed twice. But for me, once I reach this "void" I just wait it out. I just remain passive, and the void eventually brings me into the dream. I guess the location I end up in, is affected by my thoughts, and where I expect to be. In both of my cases I felt like waking up when I entered the dream.

Have been away for awhile, but got a couple of email notifications from the responses on here, I congratulate all of you for achieving your goals. Once you know the void, Lucid Dreaming only gets better!

What is HS??

Hypnagogic Sounds. Search it up on google.

You guys all make it sound so easy... Is this because you have practiced a lot? Well, what I'm trying to say is how can I learn from my mistakes? I have been reading about this for a long time and would really like to have an induced lucid dream. I've had LDs before but non induced.

I haven't practiced transitioning at all. It just happens. I guess my subconscious just thinks that I'm going to get up in my room. So I don't need to think about it.
All of my WILDs start from me getting up from bed.

For my first few WILDS, and WBTBs it always started in my childhood bedroom for some reason. Transitioning at first will be hard, that is why people recommend having a few DILDs first, just to get the feel of your dreamworld. After about 10 or so LDs, I can pretty much will myself to do it whenever I take a nap, or attempt WBTB. Just keep up with the dream journals, and RCs, I never had much luck with the RC, because somehow I always knew I was in a dream.

I am not good a WILD but I think I have gotten it a few times. I don't usualy feel much SP or hipnogogia but I have felt like my coverse and bed were the void. What I think is cool to do is to "swim" into the bed. I can push my arms in and it wars around me and I can push my dream body into the dream. Its a prety cool feeling. Most of the times I have woken up before I could get out of it but I think I remember coming out through the wall in my parents room once.

I've never got past sp into a lucid. That's why I vild because it always skips sp and I go directly into the dream. I like it because my mind usually just takes over and my visualization slowly starts coming to life.

The times i entered a dream from sp is when i was really sleepy, what happends is that, as i ride out the sp i just forget my physical and in about 25 minutes or so i enter a dream. Right before i enter a dream, the physical world just disappears and the dream forms. Haven't had sp in a month or so though.

In a WILD, the way i transition into a dream is like a hallucination. I get a buzzing noise that circles around me and it starts to accelerate the deeper i am relaxed. Then i start to hallucinate about my room while my eyes are still closed then i start to see a vivid dream scene. One time i felt like someone was choking me and said something to me and it was really strong sensation around my neck and i ignored it . Another time my hand was shaking violently beside me for some reason and my heart was beating fast but i realize it was a hallucination. Then when i see the dream scene i wait until I'm fully immersed in the dream before i could move since i jumped the gun a couple of times losing a chance at a lucid dream.

So Mugetsu, you describe the rapid heart beating and physical shaking sensation as simply a hallucination that is part of the SP process? I've gotten here many times but haven't found a way to relax past it/ keep my mind simply observant to get into the dream scene visuals.. but you're saying that the shaking and etc is actually part of the hallucination itself, and once you've gotten there the dream scene should just appear?

Yes i say this because when I got to that point i can actually see my hand shaking which seemed to exaggerated to be real. Also the sensation of my heart beating was too shallow and did not feel as if it was my actual heart beating. I ignore the sensations since i know I'm right about to see a dream scene and jump in.

At first before being able to do WILDS, I thought I never could enter SP. That was my mistake, since everyone's SP is different, I was expecting the experiance someone else has had. Until I actually found out what my own SP felt like, it was hard to WILD. Once you enter the void, or if you are in SP a couple of minutes, don't be afraid to let your mind wander a little. So you can end up in a lucid dream, just don't fall to much asleep other whys you may miss the window of opportunity of entering the dream world.

I never found a need to do anything special to transition. If you're falling asleep correctly, it'll happen on its own without any assistance.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend forcing things until you're comfortable enough with WILDing that you know what the whole process feels like from an intuitive standpoint.
