I've been having the same problem since the first time I tried FILD |

I have been trying to WILD and FILD, and I have the same problem with both of these in that I can't catch myself entering REM and stay conciousness. Am I doing it right? |

ZeDe thanks for that link. Interesting, although I fall asleep too fast most of the time! Also there is so much information on Reddit about this I'm going to have to have a good read there too, thanks for making me aware of it. |

Can't help you with that as I suck at LD and haven't started yet |

You definitely have a great chance of becoming Lucid when you're in and out of sleep like that so keep trying for that state! |

If you only have the skills to do so you can experience anything you can imagine as real.
Do you know about WBTB? This is a key factor. You do these methods after your body has had many hours of sleep. For me 7 hours sleep is about prime, but at least 4.5-5 hours is needed. So, WILD is something done in the early morning not when you first sleep. |

Thanks sivason and MrOBlonde. Yesterday I was specifically trying to have an OBE or astrally project by WILDing in the daytime, and was using it as an exercise really. |

I have been doing this for 4 days now trying to WILD with my afternoon sleep. Today the same thing drifting in and out of sleep, I even had a dream conversation with my youngest daughter (no lucidity) and came back to conciousness again, thought I must be there, but I was awake and got a bit frustrated so gave up. I'm doing the mantra but it stops as I lose conciousness each time. I'm trying to stay as a passive observer in much the same way as when meditating to separate my thoughts from my conciousness but that's not working. |

Just keep trying. It is an art and takes work. Sounds like you are doing great. |
