Trying to branch into WILD from DILD

**TheGritz** · 07-11-2012 02:31 AM

I've read pretty frequently that it's easier for most newbies to start WILDing after they've practiced DILD for an extended period of time and/or have achieved a few LDs from it. I've DILDed for a few months now. I was never really dedicated to it too much because of the required effort during the day, but eventaully I broke through and had a few LDs because of it. Now that I've experienced a few DILDs I want to try WILD. I've read my resources on how to WILD my only question is when exactly is a good time to start trying WILD according to your LD experience? Will any more or less experience make it less difficult, stressful, ect?

im not the expert,but i've read about it for thousand times.You should to WILD after you have had 5 hours of sleep.it varies for person ( for someone it could be 4.5 or 6rs).for me its 5

.also you can do WILD in afternoon. but there will be less chance that you'll succeed.Atleast i haven't had any WILD during afternoon naps.the more experience you'll have , the easier it should be.(i guess so)
i've been practising wild every night for like two weeks.and now i've made progress.I can enter SP much easier than before.

I agree with Lukass, u need to find your own good time to do wild. I've done it once before sleep, but the quality is quite bad also the lucid dream will not last long. So if u gonna do it, do it between 4-7 hours of sleep. U really need to find your own time in it, everybody is different in this regard. Then it's just practice to see what works for u.

Haha thanks for the advice but I didn't mean literal time. More of if your time/experience LDing.

Normally it's recommended that you are moderately experienced with DILDs before
attempting WILDs, since DILD is usually easier for less-experienced dreamers. But,
nothing is holding you back from giving it a start; but be warned that you may get
discouraged because you may not already be experienced with LDing (through DILDs).

Once you are familiar and comfortable with the feel of a lucid dream, everything becomes easier. When you WILD, imagine that feeling as your goal. You should also have a good handle on your sleep schedule, so you can find a good time to WILD.

Have you experienced any craziness when waking up from your DILDs? Sleep paralysis, false awakenings, DEILDs and such? It is probably similar to what you will experience during WILD.
