When I chain my dreams, that is when I use the DEILD method I think about lots of stuff and that stuff eventually becomes a dream. ^-^
So in my eyes I don't see thinking hinder the process of dreaming, it is however very difficult to think about lots of stuff and not fall asleep
But try it and see what the result is for you, this is just what happens in my experience.
When I WILD I usually meditate, so I would call that being aware of my thoughts rather than to creating the thoughts which might sound weird.
But as you relax you will notice weird random thoughts that doesn't really seems to come from you, I promise.
Eventually these thoughts disapears and all you now have is no physical sensations, no physical senses and no thoughts you are in a dark void of nothingness and you just are awareness. This is what I like to call "to just be".
So for WILD to be or not to be, is for me not even a question
So my advice would be to not control the thoughts, but to be aware of them, because these are what later on will form your dreams and if you are aware of your thoughts from the beginning you are in a sense already aware of the dream. But that's just a thought
Sweet (thoughts) dreams!
