Well, I haven't managed to WILD yet but I'll answer as much as I can. |

I'm curious about certain things. For those that WILD regularly, how do you find a mental task that doesn't keep you awake, but keeps you active enough to stay aware? I notice when I sleep normally, I drift off pretty quickly, but when I actively engage in a mental task, even something as simple as counting, I find myself wide awake, even if I feel extremely drowsy. Oh, and do VILDS even work? Because if you're delibrately visualizing something, doesn't that keep your mind awake too much? |

Lucid dreams, gotta love em.

What I mean by wide awake is I feel as if I'm getting nowhere, no matter how long I stay still. And I didn't literally mean that VILDs don't work, I just meant I didn't understand the concept because visualizing something keeps your mind active, a little too active to enter SP since you're using concious effort to maintain a mental image. |

That's the thing that's keeping me from going Lucid. You have to sleep for several hours before trying to WILD, and I've always tried at the beginning of the night and I've literally laid down for an hour and a half before. |

I said it keeps the mind awake because that's what it does to me. Most tutorials say to PASSIVELY watch images and not exert effort because it can keep your mind awake. So doesn't VILD contradict that? |

Really, it's all about the person trying to WILD. I enter SP much quicker when I do a combination of moving the lights and letting them go on their own. When I first came here, I was told to let them move and I was also told to manipulate them by different people. |
