(Need help) I've decided to practice meditation every day for WILD

Hey

I had many LDs but now I want to master WILD so that I can practice LDs when I want.

I decided to practice meditation every day for I hope all my life (lol) because first I love meditation and I love self mastery, I think it will be a great help for LDs. My technique is just to focus on the breath. I'm gonna do it every day for about 20 minutes. I decided to practice meditation because my concentration is low while practicing WILD.

So my question is: Do you think that if I meditate every day for 20 minutes, do you think that after one or two months it would be easy for me to succeed WILD technique at will? The basic technique of WILD is to do the same, the only difference is that you are in bed and prepared to sleep. If you have any other advices it would be cool =)

Thank you

The answer, I believe, is yes -- mostly.

A consistent and mindful meditation practice will certainly be helpful to achieving WILD's. But keep in mind that, though it is extremely important, there is more involved in gaining lucidity than just focus. You must also work on your memory, and be sure that the meditation you are practicing is geared toward self-awareness and not, say, relaxation or peace. Then of course there is expectation/intention, and the physical aspects of WILD like timing and the environment in which you are making the attempt. In other words, there are a lot of pieces to WILD (and DILD, for that matter), and steady meditation will certainly help, but it alone will not guarantee successful WILDs.

The upside is that if you have excellent meditational skills, WILD's will come more easily.

Thanks for your answer.
Here I'm talking just about the "entry" of the dream.
I don't think that for that you have to have a great memory? Of course to remember what you did in the dream, memory is necessary. My problem is only the entry, when I'm lucid in my dreams I have no problem, I can do crazy things lol, and even memory is not a problem for me, only when I have chained lucid dreams (deild)... Sometimes I have 6-7 in one morning but often I remember only 2-3 of them (those who were the most important for me).
