Hey there! I think you should train your recall alongside WILDing, even though it doesn't affect the process of doing one. You'll have a better chance of remembering your WILD if it has a low amount of vividness. With your other questions.. |

Hey guys, let me get straight to the point of this thread. Although I had no lucids in my life I decided to try WILD as my first technique, because of my low dream recalling abilities, and I am having a little bit of trouble. When I attempt a WILD i get over the itches and get to the point where my whole body is numb. I never had any HI or weird sounds, except for once when I had a rapid heartbeat and a couple of leg spasms and another time when I heard an annoying metal against metal sound. Anyway after the numb part, nothing happens. There is nothing to build a dream form. Dreams won't start by themselves and the only thing I feel is my head swinging back and forth. What am I doing wrong? Note that I am using mantras like: "I am dreaming" which is convenient because it's only 1 word in my language. Do I need to have a good dream recalling ability for WILDS too? Does it have anything to do with initiating a dream or just with remembering it afterwards? I know I may have done several things wrong, I am new to this, but please do point out my mistakes. |

Just a scared old llama on the outside planning to dominate these forums...
Don't you dare defy me!
Note: I'm big on grammar, you won't see one error coming out of me!
It sounds like you're pretty close to entering a dream! You might actually be in one and not know it. Sometimes when I try to WILD, I will be lying in bed for what feels like ages, and then I'll do an epiglottis block reality check and I'll realize that I've been dreaming about trying to WILD. |

Have you seen any increasing in dream recall after wbtb because i am practising with the same routine every night and i found that after wbtb my recall will be higher for the rest night. For this reason i am doing multiple mini wbtbs and my recall is getting better plus i am having more chances of having a successful wild. |

Thanks AnotherDreamer that's interesting , I think this may have happened with me. What is an epiglottis block RC and how to go about it to know you are dreaming and do you know any other suchlike RC to do when one doesn't want to move much as in Wild attempts? I have experimented once or twice with trying moving my dream body around and through that getting the idea I must be in dream land so when I get a chance I usualy do that |

Haha. Give up on Wilding. Get up for some water. Realize that you are already in dream. I love that moment. |

Thanks Senei |

Woah, didn't realise there were replies on this post, for some reason they didn't show up on my notifications and it wasn't until I checked my mail that I realised you guys have responded. |

SileNz why are you laying in a way that is hard for you to fall asleep? You can't wild without sleeping. You can't ld at all without sleeping. |
|
Well, in the one billion tutorials I 've read I am sure I saw somewhere that you must be in a position where you don't quite fall asleep...lel |

Lol. This is the best tutorial I have found: |

I dont think that you should quit your induction techniques and focus only on dream recall. In my opinion dream recall is a skill that even the most experienced lucid dreamers are trying to improve and a significant improvement might take a realy long time. Just keep a dream journal and build a standard routine with the techniques you had chosen (be sure to keep practicing them for at least 2 months before you decide that this doesn't work for you) and you will see improvement soon |

I quess you guys are right. I'll be starting again when my exams are over, when I have more time on my hands and less stuff on my mind. Btw I think the DJ is showing results. I dream about twice as much and I once had (what seemed to be) 3 dreams in one night. I figured out two things: First that I need 8+ hours of sleep before a WBTB in order to remember my dreams better and second that my dreams are fcked up. I once dreamt of using a Skyrim shout inside a Minecraft world while being chased by 3 giant wolves, one of which was wearing armor. I haven't played either of these games in a really long while. xD |
