No, it won't work. As I said before, thinking will keep your mind awake, and conscious activity in the brain will keep your mind from falling asleep. Letting your mind wander like that will only keep awake since this is thinking, so your WILD will ultimately fail. Anchors will be of no use; quite the opposite, in fact! It only adds to the activity bill and has no real use here.

Anchors are used inside the dream for stabilization so that the dream won't fall apart. Think about it. Just what are you trying to anchor yourself to? The only thing that you are anchoring yourself to is reality since you aren't in a dream. So, what does this mean? (if you really asked that question... ) It means that you are just keeping yourself awake and thus will not perform a WILD. Does that sound like a good WILD? I thought not!

If you have questions that will not cause me to repeat what I have already said, feel free to ask or send me a PM!
