Thread: Daydreaming when WILDing? Good or Bad?

I get bored quickly and end up daydreaming. Most of my daydreams include what I would have wanted to do in a lucid dream (flying, running really fast, doing kung-fu). Eventually, I get bored of daydreaming too, and end up deciding to just fall asleep.

Is what I'm doing a stupid thing to do? I simply lay still for around 15 minutes imagining myself doing things and trying to make it as real as possible. I try to simulate all of my senses. When my back gets sore from lying for too long, I just roll to my side.



Are any of these the reasonings to why I can't even get to SP?



Also, this is another problem I've been having with Visualizing:

When I was running on some rooftops, I felt like I had a hard time keeping my stability. I kept losing my balance and nearly fell backwards. This happened when I was lying on my back. When I changed positions to lie on my side, I felt that I always stumbled and lost balance towards the side that I was lying on.

Well, you and I are very alike in the WILDing category. Just be determined to do it. Don't get bored and decide to just give up.

Also, don't think about it too much. The idea is to stay conscious and not moving long enough that your body falls asleep. You have to be completely relaxed and stay just barely on the edge of being conscious.

So just don't give up after 15 minutes, shovel throw the boredom 'till you reach the abyss of WILDing.

So, daydreaming is a no? It's pretty much the only thing keeping me from getting bored in 5 minutes. Lasting 15 without it is going to be a challenge.

Heh, with the way I'm describing myself, you'd think I have ADD or something. I definately do when it comes to WILDing.

Well, the idea is partially visualization. Just daydream about what you plan to do in your dream, but do so without losing awareness.

I've had day dreams or processes of thoughts that have evolved into dreams.

I would probably say you are not tired enough to WILD. You want to pass out quickly but not so quickly that you aren't aware of falling asleep.

Daydreaming might not help with Wilding but it might lead to incubating whatever you are fantasizing into a dream when you do fall asleep

i for one cannot fall asleep or wild until i start daydreaming , i had best results with letting me daydream and sort of training my self to recognize when i start entering a dream
when it works i immediately snap out of daydreamming and get ready to enter LD
