Ah.. I thought he meant don't let the whole thinking thing distract you... So when he says "Think of why you're thinking of this" for potato, I would just tell myself I'm hungry or something? |

Whenever I read WILD tutorial they are like "you have to WILD between 5-6 hours after falling asleep". Well I can't wild at that time, because I am too awake. Would it work if I try 4 or 3 hours instead? Would that be fine? |

Yeah you can do 3-4. The only reason people say 5, 6, or even 7+ is because your REM periods are longer then, which gives you a better chance of hitting it at the right time and making the LD much longer. |

Hmm reverse-blinking always has me confused, I never know when to stop. I witness some strain after 10-20 blinks but its strange, its almost as if the top part of my eyes is forced closed so when immediately attempting to blink I seem unable to do so but when I switch focus to the bottom area of my eyelids there is no strain and I can literally continue to blink almost endlessly |
|
I'm pretty eager to try this out. I've been lucid in a DILD but I can't control it. In my previous attempts with other WILD techniques my limbs have gone numb and almost out of feeling and I've had HI but I never get to SP... What could be the reason I'm not reaching SP? |
|
May need to try this earlier in my sleep cycle, I tried it at 5:30 this morning but I didn't get to hypnagogia, I did DILD though when I fell asleep. |

You need to keep your eyelids very relaxed as you perform this. Try to make it feel as close to a natural blink as possible. You stop once you are unable to blink anymore without really forcing the blink. |

Hello again, I'm back with some new experiences! I think I have found the best amount of time to stay awake, but now I have other problems... I don't experience SP. I have been close though, often I just lay completely still, and then I turn around, and suddenly its like a ton of pillows are pushing my body down, and some times it tickles over my body too. But when I try to move some fingers, I find out that I'm not paralyzed at all! What should I do when this happens? Should I just continue laying till, or should I get to the next step? |

Another question ;3 |
|
Hey everyone i am new to this website, and Ive always wanted to try this technique. I tryed it last night, i did what you said, i layed on my side, after about 6 or 7 minutes of not moving my body felt numb. For some reason my heart started to beat really fast, and i had trouble breathing a bit, i got scared and gave up. So i am going to try it again tonight and let you know if it works. Any tips for me please. |

This is really interesting, whenever I attempt to wild I get bored and give up, but then fall to sleep really soon after-I just need to keep trying after I have rolled over! |
|
So every time i want to lucid dream i have to wake up after like 4 or 5 hours of sleep? Can i try it when i go to bed or not? |
|
You can try it before bed but it won't work, the reason for that is that your first REM period after you've fallen asleep starts after an hour or more, somewhere around that. So the reason you should be doing this after 5-6 hours of sleep is that your REM periods are longer and closer together. |
|
Sure, you can go into any position you want. Whatever is most comfortable for you. |

Hey KingYoshi's a quick question, have you tryed to perform your technique before you go to bed and does it work as well as waking up 4 - 6 hours after sleeping? It is hard for me to wake up 4 - 6 hours because i get up at 6:30am in the morning for school, expect for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. |
