Hey everybody, I can't stop coming back here. So I figured I've got the right mindset for WILDing.
So before I go and try this, do y'all have any tips? Or maybe a link to a good tutorial (I've read the wiki ones, yes)
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and sweet dreams. :sleepmeditate2:
Not sure if this is the one you have read in Wiki - Induction Methods and Techniques
And here is a very detailed description of the whole process with explanation of why, when and how. You will not be disappointed. WILD Good luck:alien:
*Moved to WILD
Alright, sounds good, I'll go try it!
Didn't work out so well. :crying:
I might try again later, but thanks for the tips anyways!
Well, WILDing is not something you set out to do one day and get it the same day. It takes time to learn it. Or should I say, it takes time to experience it and learn not to get excited, just observe passively.Quote:

It really is a jurney that's it's different each time, so the mile markers are few and far between and on top of that, they may look and feel different each time. So they don't really work. What will work the best is the feel for it that you will develop with practice. The "hm, I could be in a dream now, I better do something about it". And then you either notice a dream behind your eyelids, or that you see your room, or you just simply get the feeling that it's time to get up/roll our/fall out/slip out of your body into the dream. This will all come. No tutorial is able to teach this. What a good tutorial will do is give you stable base that you can build upon with your own experience.
Good luck and happy journey.
PS. I just had today a WILDing experience with about 9 exits, but all LDs were short. Some may consider this a failure, but for me, it was a wild ride and I was loving every second of it. Got some new transition sensations from reading a thread here just yesterday and I'm just so happy. For me, journey is as much fun, if not more, than the destination.
gab is right. WILDing or lucid dreaming for that matter isn't something you just read about and then know how to do it.
Which is why the most important factor for success and making progress doesn't really is in the technique itself.
But rather what you make out of the technique.
For example I started out really intrigued by dream recall, because I thought it was going to make me become more aware in my dreams and experience my dream more vividly, so I developed my own kind of methods and stay on track and because of that kept progressing: http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-sign...reams-try.html
This led me to the mindset of appreciate lessons of my experiences rather than the result. Which is what gab is describing as well.
After this I was excited about the "science" of the brain and started to come up with many different kind of ways to go from the awake state to the dreaming state.
This one example: http://www.dreamviews.com/attaining-...on-device.html
And then I advanced even more with this: http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...5Bhelp%5D.html
But then I made a complete turn around and was more focused on a more spiritual sounding path. And this was Robert Monroes experiences.
So now I am focusing on this institutes theory of focus levels. Which also is inspiring me really much and you can read about it in my Dream Journal.
But what I am trying to say here is that a big misstake people make is that they want techniques that will provide them with results.
And the truth is that they ALL will do that if you just stick with. But in order to stick with it you need to actually find the technique that in itself is fun practising.
So that's the most important factor, the best technique to use in longterm perspective of mastering lucid dreaming is the technique that you find more fun to practise than the actual lucid experience that it provides. This will in turn of course give you the result you are looking for along the way, but it's only a bonus.
So you see that in order to master lucid dreaming, you need to go through a change in being, to become the person that lucid dreams with ease.
And a change in being is something that takes time, and is not really prefered by the Western minded way of thinking.
And I am a Western kind of thinker spiced with some eastern philosophical views. However here is the key to how to satisfy both sides.
And that is that you choose a technique that is fun to practise but also satisfy you intellectually. Which I have provided some examples representing my taste of above.
I hope that you find this post helpful and that you find the technique that suits you the best!
Sweet dreams! :content:
Well, I have tried WILDing about 3 different times before, but succeeded only twice.
Hold on lemme get my dream journal up...
Ok,
6/03/13 First lucid dream, 5 seconds, accidental WILDing
6/20/13 Long dream, accidental WILDing
6/21/13 Long hard to explain dream, accidental WILDING
6/04/13 Failed WILDing attempt
6/21/13 Failed WILDing attempt
6/21/13 Failed WILDing attempt
All those "accidental WILDings" were when I woke up around 7:00 and rolled back asleep more or less following the WILD tutorials I've read over the days.
I think that very well could have been a REM cycle, but I'm not sure.
I'm also not sure as to what y'all would call that. Would it be better classified as a WBTB?
Anyways.
Sweet dreams. :sleepmeditate2: (and thanks for all those tips y'all)
Looks like you have about 50% success rate. Which is HUGE. I would say just keep doing what you doing. After a while, re-read sageouse's tutorial to see if now that something, that didn't make sence before, will.Quote:

This could be anywhere from 5-90 min.
This will wake up your mind, so it doesn't fall asleep into uncosciouss sleep, before a dream is ready for you that you can enter while your mind is still awake.
When you wake up from a dream and immediatelly just go back to sleep, preferably without moving and you enter LD, that's called DEILD - Dream Initiated LD. When you wake up not from a dream, either go right back to sleep or you move some and then you get LD, that would be a very lucky WILD.
Hope this makes sense. Please do ask, if we can help more. Happy dreams.
