Nightmare to help with WILDing

**dreamspinner** · 10-19-2010 07:45 AM

Hello fellow dreamers

I would like to ask a question and I will also try to find the answer to the question via experiments performed on my self

.

Now as you all know we are in REM sleep when we have nightmares or any dream for that matter. My question is if we try to induce a nightmare instead of a WILD then while in a nightmare the horror could snap us back in to a SP then from there we can WILD. I am saying this becouse I had a nightmare once and snapped straight in to a SP sadly I was ignorant of lucid dreaming and didn't take the advantage out of the situation I was in. Also I find in nightmares its easier to have a lucid dream becouse the chances of you saying this is a dream is significantly higher.

I would like to hear your suggestions on weather this may work and how to try to induce a nightmare. I have some examples, eating salty and spicy foods and watching a horror movie also imagining your nightmare scenario.

Sorry if the spelling is bad I wrote this article in under 3 minutes becouse I have school.

Thank you all for reading.

Yes, it's possible, but that's basically like a DEILD- you wake up after a dream and enter SP because you're not moving. But if you wake up from a nightmare, you might be jolted awake because you weren't lucid in the dream, therefore you didn't know you'd be waking up right then. That makes it hard to keep still.
