Thread: trying a w.i.l.d with a cold :(

Bleh welcome to winter. I have a cold/cough too. It is probably likely that it would effect your ability to WILD...but you never know...so I wouldn't say it's not worth still giving it a shot at least. But when I WILD I'm very particular about my breathing, so if there is anything weird going on there, I get very distracted. If you have a stuffy nose I imagine it would make it really difficult unless you're used to breathing out of your mouth.

thanks for replying well my nose is not blocked just yet .. only have a sore throat and a cough ..guess il give it ago im going to go to bed before 2-3am tonight as im tired most likely due to this damn cold but i will post back tomorow and say how it went thanks again .

Just in case you don't already know...you have a better chance of becoming lucid if you get to bed around 11 or 12, and getting at least 6-8 hours of sleep. Then you'll be more likely to get lucid in the early morning hours. When you go to sleep at 2 or 3am, unless you are sleeping in pretty late till at least 10 or 11am then you might find it harder to become lucid. I find the more I sleep (like 8 hours) the higher the chance of getting lucid. Good luck though!

Also you should try WILD after 4-6 hours of sleep at least for best success.

LOL - you can use this to your advantage!

Most cough medicine contains DMX - a well know onierogen (lucid aid). Go to the lucid aid section and check out the Lucid Aids Repository.

Pop some Robitussin -they will suppress your coughing and give you more dreams.

Since I started trying to WILD about a week back I've had a blocked nose which just makes regular and relaxed breathing slightly more difficult, but I'm sure it's still possible.

DMX...the rapper? lol

I think you mean dxm (dextromethorphan). And depending on how many of those robitussin you "pop" you might get a lucid dream, you might trip your ass off, you might have an OBE, and you might experience severe psychosis...but you'll probably just throw up before it gets to that point. My point is just be careful if you choose to take dxm and don't take more than the recommended dosage unless you are mentally and physically prepared to have your world warped.

Some people may find dxm to help with lucid dreams, personally I've discovered that dxm has no effect on my recall, and that it directly makes it impossible for me to WILD while on dxm. However, I was exceeding recommended dosage in those cases.

First thing that came into my head too! That stuff sounds powerful, might try it...

EDIT: After reading some threads on the topic... shit, I better watch myself!

Ghaaaa! Back on topic, a runny nose is the death of my recent WILD attempts

hmm well no wild but some crazy dreams !!

also the other night i had a dream were i jumped into a swimming pool ..and it was deeper than i had imagined... i thought ill hold my breath touch the bottem then zoom back up well the bottem was a long way away before i even got there i was struggling to breath finnally i touched the floor

i tried to push off really fast but it just felt slow as hell !! anyway i was really needing some oxygen about then but the climb up was just as bad

i never reached the top of the water again but awoke faster than i hav in a long time !!!

to find myself taking in the deepest possible breath lol so i can only imagine i must have held my breath while asleep !! luckily its not possible to kill yourself by holding your breath or i could have been deadout :O
