I think I was close to WILD

[Elaol]

So, yesterday I was almost at WILD (at least I think so). I felt numb and I kept my eyes closed, but I could see through them. Then I focused too much onto it, and it failed. Today I had no success with the techniques I was doing yesterday, so I tried laying in my usual sleeping position (on my right side) and I was playing word game. Then after a while I felt my knee pulsing and I saw one page of the book I am currently reading on my tablet. I knew I was dreaming and I couldn't transition. I need help Btw this was the first two times I tried WILD-ing and I never had LD before

Sounds like hypnagogic imagery.

And what to do about it?

That's probably the part in which dream starts to form Here's example process: 1. At first you see probably blackness or fog of colors 2. Shapes are starting to appear 3. Shapes are becoming 3D 4. Small scenes start to be created on sight 5. One of the scenes starts to grow bigger and bigger till it fills your whole sight or maybe all scenes start to grow if there was more than one and connect with eachother? 6. If scene starts to fill your sight you wait for it to become 3D and till you start feeling your existance in it or just when you know that your in. 7. And that's where fun starts I suggest you to observe those images as the people said passivly So don't put much focus on it or it will wake you up. Some people might use those shards of dreams to form the scene they want to appear or to transition instantly into dream But i wouldn't suggest that since entering the dream is already a process that happens on it's own every night And you might accidently end up messing stuff up when trying to enter the dream or start forming your own I'd just continue on using anchor. Unfortunely i myself don't get much of hypnagonia during WILDs Maybe because i'm not even considering to checkout my sight

Thanks for helping me. I read a lot on LD and when I am trying to have one I get so confused I don't know what to do :/

Hahahahaha, I was just about to ask you to check out this topic when I saw your reply. Thanks for helping me. I read a lot on LD and when I am trying to have one I get so confused I don't know what to do :/ Haha, same here. I don't know myself what to do during the WILDs, All i have are my previous successes notes and tutorials which don't work mostly for me But still. How things will turn out it is the big mystery. I might fall asleep and have non-lucid dream or be unable to fall asleep due to overhelming anchor. Thought imo it is better to be unable to fall asleep during WILD than fall asleep unconscious It might somewhat help with to learning how to maintain the anchor balance for keeping up consciousness during the wild Also i've got a question. Nevermind You wrote down the tech you use in the thread's main post
