Thread: Trying to WILD. May be doing it wrong?

When WILDing your primary goal is to reach state, where you fall asleep for few seconds and regain counsciousness and than you fall asleep and regain counsciousness again, it's a state where you are almost asleep. To achieve that you must lay in comfortable position (doesn't matter on which side) and you have to do some kind of technique (Doesn't have to be relaxing one). You can focus on your eyelids, breathing, sounds, imagined thing, thought, etc. Don't concentrate too hard thou, let your mind wonder a little. After about 10 minutes you should reach a state where it's becoming hard to focus and you are almost asleep, keep doing what you were doing and BAM, you are in a lucid dream. Be careful, you might get into Lucid while still lying in your bed. Be hyper-concentrated for anything strange happening (for example, you might end up in a different position, with your eyes opened or someone could talk in another room, even if it's impossible now). If you notice that you are in the phase, stand up, perform deepening and enjoy your LD.

P.S. If there is no result after 20 minutes, you should go back to sleep and try another night, practising 4 times per week is enough too.

I got all my lucids doing similar technique. it worked for me on my first try, but usually it works after few tries.
