Question about wild?

[Dreamo28]

Does it matter if I have never had a lucid dream but start to try wilds. I am quite impatient and figure this is a faster method with out having to rely on sheer luck. I have had a dream journal for around a week now and regular reality checks but no luck. I know it has not been long but if I fail the wild I could still have the chance of having a mild. Anyway how hard are wilds to do? and how exactly do I do them?. Does it help if you have had one before well sort of. when I was around 10 or 12 I was really tired one day and went to sleep and around 3pm and imagined being on a surfboard paddling out to the ocean. I kind of entered that thought so it was a dream I guess but I did not know what lucid dreaming was so that's all that happened.

Well, it really depends on your mindset, body, and lifestyle. Most people tend to have difficulty with WILDing. You can read my guide on how to WILD. Does it help if you have had one before Well, like with anything..the more experience the better you are at something. Just remember that you can't just give up on a technique after a week! You HAVE to be patient with lucid dreaming! A very wise person named Naiya once said: Spoiler for Naiya's Wise Words: word about consistency: one of the biggest pitfalls I see is when a person tries one method for a week or two, then decides it's not working, and switches to another method. They jump from one method to the next and believe that nothing is working for them. It's very important to understand that lucid dreaming is a skill. While some people might start out with a talent for it, the rest of us have to build up from being beginners. So switching methods would be akin to trying to learn piano one week and then trumpet the next. You never give yourself the chance to master any of them. The mind needs time to internalize what you are trying to learn before it can give you good results. With lucid dreaming, even though you may not have lucid for the first few weeks, just affirm to yourself that you ARE making progress. Anyway just keep it up, be confident, and good luck!
