      First WILD experience

      Today, I had my first taste of what a WILD is like. I woke up this morning still very tired (from a pool party last night), so I tried getting some more sleep. At first, everything seemed normal; I rolled around in bed for a few minutes, trying to get a nice spot. Eventually, I got into a very groggy, half-sleeping state, where I realized I might be able to enter a lucid from. I tried envisioning very vividly walking through my school, the feel of the handrail, the color of the walls, sounds I would hear. Suddenly, I heard a helicopter fly above me in real life, and focused intensely on that. I kept thinking "I will have a lucid dream" over and over while listening to the beat of the chopper. Then, I suddenly had an overpowering feeling that I would enter a dream scenario. The chopper's rotors slowed down a bit, and sounded a lot louder. A little dot of swirling colors appeared in the center of my vision. Sadly, however, the vibrations caught me off guard. Since I didn't realize I was pulling a V-WILD, and I had never experienced the onset of SP anywhere other than when I ended a dream, I panicked and pulled myself out of the vision of the school. The helicopter's rotor sound quickly sped up, and I found myself momentarily paralyzed in my bed. I cursed at myself when I realized what I had done. However, I now know that WILDs aren't as impossible as they had originally seemed to me. Does anyone have any tips on how to focus harder on something? And did anyone else have the same hearing illusion that I had?

      Well, I don't really know about focusing harder, but you can try counting and not trying to think. Yeah, it's as hard as it sounds. Trying not to think causes you to think, and if you're thinking, then you're still thinking. LOL. I've only had one WILD, but I didn't experience any imagery or hear anything. In fact I felt like I didn't exsist. I could see, hear, and feel nothing until I fell into my dreamscape. Then again, I've only seen HI once and that was before I knew about lucid dreaming.

      Everytime you are as a WILDer on the onset of WILD, you are entering a world which shapes according to your imagination. At the onset of LD, it is pretty unstable and you should really be cautious what you do in this phase.

      You have two possible ways, how you could commence after perceiving your imagination comming alive

      1. Force yourself to shape imagination according to your will
      2. Accept what you see and let it solidify by itself

      Which solution seems more natural to you? I bet you would choose the second, but in reality, most of us choose nr. 1 as to what to perform. Why? Becouse thats usually what we are pulled to do by reflexive behaviour. Our consciousness wants to remain in control and uses tools which are too brute to be used in subtle transition processes. Maybe thats one of the reasons, why the consciousness is normally fully disconnected till the imagery is solid enough for it to reenter. If you should improve something, it would be the toolset used to create and mantain visualisations. Instead of using brute direct force, you could perform only subtle alterations of realities being constructed, or (maybe less discruptive) you could just make sense of whats happening inbetween, or (probably the best). Just let go and solidify yourself within constructed realities instead of trying to solidify the environment.

      Hope it helped somehow.
