Thread: Can anyone draw the line?

sry idt i asked it the way i intended.

Like whats the difference in your level of awareness in normal sleep and WILDing? From what I've read the trick of WILDing is to forget your physical sensations and become immersed in thoughts. Every time I've succeeded in this I just wake up hours later wondering what went wrong.

Well, in normal sleep, you just sleep normally, however you do so. In WILDing, you're pretty much completely awake and aware, just focusing and concentrating on staying aware. Like you said, you are supposed to forget sensations. But some do argue whether you should think. Like why I try to WILD, I count for a while, but it makes me tired after a while. Some people have told me that it's a good idea to play stories or music in your head.

thanks dude, i gotcha

Normal sleep is just that....sleep until you reach a rem stage. What happens during a wild is that when you go to sleep, you immediately start dreaming, and you're fully lucid.

your level of awareness is full on through the entire process of entering a dream during WILD techniques you may have various amounts of focus depending on what works for you, but you're always aware of whats going on. You literally go from awake to dreaming with no middle man.....other than time
