Okay guys, I need your help. |
|
Anyone? :/ |
|
Well I'm in the same spot as you. Joined last month, fiddled and messed around with some methods, not much has happened. I sorta had a lucid, or false awakening, but it was very very short. I am concentrating on one method, but I do feel very far away from my goal, even if I am making progress. |
|
Man, how many times have I been there? |
|
---o--- my DCs say I'm dreamy.
For me, WILDs never really worked. I either didn't get to the seeing shit stage, or if I did, they would be weak and I could never forget the feeling of my bed. |
|
The problem is, I did see things. A kind of scene. But the problem is that I couldn't tell if I generated them or my mind did(unintentionally I mean.) I didn't know if I could go into my own dream scene I manifested. |
|
It sounds like you were doing everything right. I think I can relate to the description you gave. Something similar happens to me when I take certain supplements. Try to expand any brief fantasies or dreamlets you experience, even if they don't feel fully formed. Imagine interacting with whatever scenario is going on in your mind. Really try to engage with the dream physically. |
|
I'm in the same boat as you, when I'm trying to WILD I get the images in my head, more than 'behind my eyelids'. I think just persist with it and figure out what works for you, thats what I'm trying |

Total Lds - 103
Spoiler for Goals:
Could you ACTUALLY SEE things? No pretending. No stretching the truth. You should ACTUALLY see them. If you saw objects, in full color, and full detail, and it wasn't your imagination, then you were ready. DON'T QUESTION WHETHER YOU CAN ENTER or not. I can't stress it enough. The moment you ask the question, you can lose it. If you can ACTUALLY SEE objects, just do it. Finalize the WILD by looking around, or interacting with the objects. Look to see what the objects are sitting on, or pick them up. |

I meant WILD before, and I suggested R.C.s and DILD. But whatever works for you really. You can take suggestions all day long, but if it doesn't work for YOU, then it may as well be useless for everyone. |

If Arby's VILD guide sounds like it takes too much brain power, try using a memory instead of a visualization. Instead of creating something from scratch, try using a recent and easy to remember memory. |
|
I read Arby's guide and thought 'How am I supposed to do all this while trying to slip into lower states of consciousness?'. That said, my powers of visualisation do seem to increase while in the hypnagogic state. |

Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
