I was just wondering. I have never had a Lucid Dream and I really want to have one. I have been looking at the WILD method and I think I would like to try it. However, I am getting mixed signals with regards to one area.

I want to make sure, Is the WILD technique related to or part of any spiritistic practices? I would like to try this technique, but I wish to never be involved with anything dealing with super natural forces or spirits. This technique seems purely scientific with regards to the different states of consciousness and hallucinations, but then I come upon articles relating this to astral projection and spirit related things.

And also, above all, is this technique completely safe? Could anything permanently harmful happen to the mind as a result of this technique.

And btw, I know about Sleep Paralyses, so there isn't a need to inform of that. Thanks.
