Thread: Wild tonight

What we were trying to explain in your other threads, we are more than happy to help. But if you don't know the basics, how am I suppose to give you just one or two tips? That is not gonna help. If I tell you sure, go ahead and move without explaining, that is not gonna do you much good. You will end up frustrated.

Learning to lucid dream takes time, patience, commitment. You have to want it.

Is it easy to be an astronaut and go to space? Sure. All you need to do is put on a uniform, sit in a rocket and off you go. We all now, there is lots of prep work done before you sit on the launch pad.

And as it was perhaps suggested already, starting with WILD is not the easiest way to go. If I may recommend, start with DILD. It's easiest to start with and you will learn a lot of what you will later need for WILD and DEILD.

But if you insist, you can move while wilding, just don't pay too much attention to it.

Think about a very simple idea. To WILD have nothing to do with the physical body, you don't move your physical body in order to transition into a dream.

You move your awareness.

You do this by focusing, where you focus your awareness is where you will be and are. For example now when you read this post your senses was picking up the sensation of you sitting in a chair and you seeing the color of the wall with your peripheral vision, however your awareness was on the post so you wasn't experiencing the chair or the wall. Makes sense right? It's the same for dreaming!

When you focus on something non-physical like a visualization and totally zone in on it, you will no longer feel your physical body or even be in your room.

By WILDing you practise this fully by focusing your awareness on the non-physical by DILDing you induce this indirectly by falling asleep and then becoming aware of this shift in awareness when it has already happened.

When you read WILD tutorials you will read about the importance of relaxing and WBTB and timing your dream cycles etc. This is important factors in the beginning because it can help you to experience some experience of the shift in your focus of awareness easier, but later on you will see that these are just helpful tools and you can find this shift in focus in seconds on your own. So there is no need to worry about what you do with your body, only think about what you do with your mind.

But you wanted to know all you need to do, and that is to visualize. Just try it it is easier than it sounds. After a while of doing it you will feel either seconds or a millisecond of actually being there! with practise you will be able to mantain this state. So when you wake up just visualize yourself doing something like driving a car, feeling your phone, anything you want.

Sorry you didn't wanted a long explanation, however, since you asked if you were supposed to lay still or move, I suspected that you might have a wrong idea of how WILDing works. Because the truth is that you can move and dream, you can lay still and dream, it ALL depends on if you can focus your awareness. But as I said for a beginner it's probably best to relax and lay still because that is easier.

In my years or practise I have practised both DILD and WILD and I can honestly say that I think WILD is most effective since it is an induction fully controled by you. However my DILD practise is what have given me the mindset needed for lucid dreaming in a long term perspective.

And for most beginners (not all) that starts out with an induction it usually goes like this:

Starts with WILD - Not patient enough, nothing happens and they give up.
Starts with DILD - Makes small progress stays with it and get a few lucid dreams, find the right mindset continues and then start with WILD more mentally prepared.

So like gab said, it's probably a good idea to start out with DILD.

And the reason for that is not that DILD is the most effectve lucid dreaming method but because that in the long run this will benefit you more, lucid dreaming should be viewed in longterm in order for you to endure it long enough to succeed.

However you are in luck. There are tons of members here that have done the journey you are starting, so you can always get help.

Have fun

Ended up rolling over after 20 minutes of being impatient and fell asleep while repeating my mantra. I figure WILD is not the best place to start and should start with DILD.
