Thread: No dream coming while WILD

Did you try right before you go to sleep? If you did. It probably wouldn't work because your REM hasn't started. Try do it 4-5 after sleep, only if you haven't done so already. Also repeat mantras like "Next thing I see will be a dream"

Hey Darkspirit, welcome to DreamViews

Everybody can dream and lucid dream, so don't worry about that. By stood do you mean lay?

Like sparkly said, you should have at least five hours of sleep before attempting a WILD, naps are also a good time to WILD. The sensations and hypnagogic hallucinations (the sounds and patterns) are not necessary to have a successful WILD, you might get them and you might not.

Sleep paralysis is not needed at all for WILDing or lucid dreaming, read these two threads for a better explanation of sleep paralysis:

The fast heart beat may have just been a natural occurrence, from excitement, or a hallucination. Either way, just ignore it and it'll go away.

I recommend reading Sageous's tutorial on WILD: WILD

Hello Darkspirit2112!

Welcome to DreamViews!

WILD isn't the easiest way of becoming lucid. I would recommend looking into DILD instead. Once you've got the hang of that, you should definitely try WILDing, as it can be a lot of fun, and certainly a very unique experience. Sleep paralysis isn't something you need to worry about, though. There is a lot of misinformation on the web about this phenomenon, but you don't need it at all.

I'll give you some useful links to get your started:

It would also be very beneficial for you to work on your dream recall. You can start your own Dream Journal. If you remember anything, even a tiny fragment, try posting it in your DJ. You may not have anything to post every day, but just post whatever comes to mind. Lying still for a couple of minutes when you wake up tends to help. Once you get used to this, your recall should improve. It's a common problem, though, so we have a forum for this very topic where you can get ideas from other dreamers: Dream Signs and Recall

If you want, you can also start a workbook in the Intro Class. This will help you track your progress, and you will get lots of help from our Dream Guides and friendly members.

This should put you on the right track to successful lucid dreaming.

Synchro-posting indeed! We are one team one mind after all

wow, so many replies in less than a day ^^
Ok, so you guys suggest me to try WILD after 5 hours of sleep. (So do I set an alarm, maybe write down the dream I was in, and then start to lay still, right?)

And another thing I want to point out about dream journal. I almost never remember ANY dream at all. not even a tiny bit. Sure, about once in a month, I can recall the totality of a dream, but thats because I got awaken while dreaming (like by my brother). so should I set my alarm to wake me while in a dream every morning? Thanks for those 5 answers in less than 12 hours (such active forum)

No problem

Some people use an alarm and some drink water before going to bed so they naturally wake up to go to the bathroom during the night. It takes some experimenting to know how much water you'll need to wake you up in five hours. What I mostly do though is what Sageous suggests in http://www.dreamviews.com/wild/13205...wo-timing.html. You notice when you naturally wake during the night and use that time to WILD, this is also good for recall.

But yeah, write down your dream and then start to WILD. The amount of time you should stay up before WILDing depends on the person, some people stay up for 30 minutes and some only a few minutes.

If you don't remember anything just write down something like "No recall", for some reason just the desire and intent to remember your dreams will cause you too. Also, try not to move much when you wake up, lay in bed for a bit and replay the dream in your head. At first you might only recall fragments or nothing at all but as you're doing this more and more of the dream(s) will come back to you.

Like I was saying earlier, everyone naturally wakes up throughout the night, so start trying to notice when you do because this is great for recall. Like with dream recall even the want and intention to notice when you wake during the night helps. You can also repeat a mantra like "I wake up after my dreams". When you wake during the night, jot down some quick notes and keywords about the dream, this will help you recall the dream for journaling in the morning.

I would recommend doing this instead of setting an alarm because alarms can hurt dream recall by waking you up to harsh and quick. If you do want to use an alarm, get one that slowly increases in sound and maybe even auto-shuts off. I recommend the app Alarm Clock Plus for android.
