I know this may change from person to person and even with the time you try it, but how long take for you guys to actually enter in a dream with a regular WILD? In a WBTB? And in a nap WILD? |

Well I have been able recently to have a WILD in 15 seconds flat. Now I don't say that to boast but merely to point out that it can be done very quickly. I have started a thread concerning this and a few people have said that they are going to read the source material for the method. Unfortunately someone made a comment about it being a method to have DEILD's without having read the source material when in fact the lucid dream was a traditional WILD in the sense that I succeeded without exiting from a dream. |
|
When I WILD, it barely takes 6 or 7 minutes. Generally do it when waking up in the middle of the night, what I do is, not open eyes, move so I'm comfortable, start imagining the scenes of the last dream I was at, and eventually the scenes will transform into a dream. |
|
Well, to avoid the falling asleep thing I just do a RC while doing my WILD, so in case it fails, will do the RC and then become lucid. So its just the approach, never really used mantras so I can't say whether one is better than the other. |
|
I'm gonna use this topic again so i don't have to make another: |
|
If I understand your question, I think you mean " CAN you guys personally... SUCCEED in a WILD ... in the first STAGE OF sleep?" I would say I can't but it is possible. I think it is easier for me to just wait until early in the morning. |

I can pretty much do the same, I usually wake up at around 5hr 30min after I go to sleep, look at the clock and get in a more comfortable position, then I can just watch the patterns on my eyelids and transition into a FA from SP lasting about 3 seconds, taking only a few seconds total, maybe 30 max... I have woken up from another LD, sat up and did a RC, found that I was awake, laid back down, and had a wild in less than 10 seconds. |

I have had an accidental WILD. When I transitioned I was only about 50% lucid and the dream felt so real. I was at school and I was in the boys locker room getting changed for gym and someone flipped my lock so instead of trying to open it regularly I tried to make it explode using my hands and mind. Thats when I realized I was dreaming and I got sucked out right away. |

hmm about 3 years so far... no seriously though ive only had a couple of non lucid WIDs and they were after about 30 mins meditation |

I tried to WILD last night... After waking up from a dream after about 4 hours of sleep, I figured I had nothing to lose by at least trying. Damn was I wrong. I attempted it for about 30 mins until I realized I was wasting my time... Didn't reach any state of the transition at all. No SP, No Hypnogogic Imagery, nothing. I decided to just go back to sleep and hope that Auto-Suggestion would kick in (most of my Lucids are Auto-Suggestion). After nearly 3 HOURS of trying to just go back to sleep, I said screw it and just got up for the day. |
|
Most of my lucids have come from WILD's, I set my alarm for 5-6 hours after I fall asleep, I lay in bed when the alarm goes off then I start counting my breaths until I am in a dream or experience a heavier version of sleep paralysis. |

I like to do a combination of WBTB and DEILD. I'll wake up ~7hrs after going to sleep and get up for 20-30minutes then go back to bed and set an alarm for an hour later. Then go back to sleep, and when the alarm wakes me up I can DEILD really easily. Seems to work best for me. |
