Thread: How do I make my LD stabile when i WILD?

When I wild ill count my breaths and right around 140 usually I start to see my room with my eyes closed just barley and I know it's not real because everything looks to cartoony but then it will fade and come back then fade and keep going until i wake up! How do I make my dream stabile?

What seems to happen is you're waking up during the transition stage. During this stage, I recommend just passively observing what's happening. Do not try to change anything and try to stay calm and relaxed. The first time I tried a WILD I did the same thing as you, but it's not happened since then.

What you experienced is not a dream, it was probably hypnagogic hallucinations (HH). These appear as precursors to falling asleep and are a good sign that your WILD attempt is on track. Next time this happens, silence your thoughts as much as possible and passively observe what is happening. After a few seconds to a few minutes, you should experience much more pronounced visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations. If you remain calm and don't get excited as this happens, you will inevitably end up in a lucid dream.
