Now, this may be an extremely obvious difference, and I have had someone explain it to me once before but I've forgotten that (oops. :L) and kinda want it written down so I'll always remember. |

A daydream is where you loose consciousness while you are awake. It happens when you are doing daily tasks and just zone off or when you are falling asleep normally. Often it starts off that you are just thinking about something and instead of being conscious of your surroundings you start to unconsciously fall into a trail of visuals. |

Okay, that makes sense... How can I tell whether I'm WILDing or just daydreaming when I'm attempting to WILD? Or are they just the same thing when attempting to WILD? I see alot of my drawn out daydreams happen lots over the day, sometimes during non LDs and I can daydream whilst talking to someone if I really concentrate, could that affect my WILDing at all? |

Well if you take the first approach, you lie completely still while trying to become really calm, after a while you will start ot notice the effects of the body falling alseep, like the feeling of numbeness or movement and hearing and seeing seamingly random or patterned imagery. It's fairly straight forward and shares little resemblance to trying to daydream, as daydream is about loosing consciousness, I.E not witnessing the effects of falling asleep. |

I've WILDed a few times before but this evening I wasn't sure whether I'd had a WILD or a day dream as I'd calmed my body right down and was trying to look for a dream but sometimes my mind just keeps giving me different pictures so I wondered. But thank you very much! That's really useful! |

There's really no similarity between the two. A daydream occurs when you are awake. You aren't really dreaming. You're just imagining. |
