Straight up WILD

[dragonfathom]

I have asked this several times, yes, but I still want more opinions on this: could you WILD at the beginning of the night when you try to fall asleep?

[SilverBullet]

I have once. This is what I used: http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/very-e...y-wild-105922/

I have tried several times. Though almost without exception, it resulted in me being unable to sleep for hours. So I simply stopped trying, cause I really would like to sleep at night.

Yes, I've done it before. It's the only way for me; other times of the night I'm simply too sleepy.

[Puffin]

Yes, but it can be very hard. You're not usually in REM at the beginning of the night (aka the beginning of your sleep cycle), and you're not usually very relaxed. Unless of course, you're lucky enough to be able to get to REM and are really tired. It's not impossible; I've done it before and for some people that's the only time they can WILD.

I have been trying to WILD for the past 7 days straight, and let me say up front that trying to WILD at the beginning of the night is almost doomed to fail! I mean one night I was tired and fell asleep with the intention to WILD, but I didn't recognize the dream state any easier. Usually, when I try to WILD before any rest, I end up not being able to sleep for an extra hour and then I give up my effort and decide to just let myself fall asleep. I might suggest it if you are really tired or you are especially good at falling asleep. For me, I have a 3 second alarm on my iphone that just wakes me up about 5 hours after I sleep and then I will attempt to WILD. Not only am I more tired because of my previous sleep, but I'm also more likely to have an easily identifiable dreamsign in the form of a false awakening. When I try to WILD right before sleeping, I end up having to figure out it's a dream in some way other than me getting out of my bed. That's probably the most significant reason to WILD sometime after the beginning of sleep.
