      Question Was I close to WILDING, or am I just crazy?

      So, the past couple times I've tried to WILD, I try to sleep, but be aware that I will be falling asleep. After a while (usually after waking from a normal dream then returning to try to sleep) I'll start to see these odd white lights passing from my right eye view, to the left, repeatedly and consistently. Could this possibly be one of the things people see when starting to WILD? I feel like it might be, but nt knowing for sure discourages me and may be keeping me from having one. PLEASE HELP!

      HH is different for everyone, but you were probably getting closer. Did you fall asleep afterwards?

      Sorry about the double post, I can't edit on mobile. I will combine these posts as soon as I'm back on a PC tomorrow.

      I also meant to ask you why you are starting on WILD, as it can be a bit tricky to pull off at first. If you really insist on trying WILD first, you should start with DEILD maybe, since that's relatively easy.

      I believe that when people start using negative connotation like saying WILD is difficult then your subconscious starts to assume that WILDing is difficult. It isn't necessarily difficult. Just have a positive outlook on LDing and think of what success you will have and you'll have WILDing down pat in no time.

      @PostScript99
      This is a reply to both of your responses
      I'm not starting with WILD really, I've had 3 or 4 DILDS before this occured, but they aren't reliable enough for me. And yes, I fell asleep without even realizing it. I woke up, and the lights were still there, but I just fell asleep again and gave up at that point. Any idea what to do?

      @Brizzl
      I agree, I was (and still kind of am) discouraged from trying to WILD because people often discuss how difficult it is. Have you ever WILD(ed)? IF you have, can you sort of walk me through the process, because I'm not exactly sure how to do it.

      Indeed, it's good to have some DILD experience prior to trying a WILD. But not because WILD it's difficult. It's because practicing RCs and awareness for DILDs will teach you a lot of the same that you need to WILD.

      If you have not read these yet, here is a Dreamviews recommended WILD, and other techniques. Induction Methods and Techniques
      and after that, here is a detailed and very well explained WILD WILD

      Please read them and then ask any questions you may have. We will be happy to respond.
