Thread: **CrazyInSane's WILD tutorial!!**

Keep that drowsiness. Just try harder to stay aware once it's time.

How do you stay aware once it's time? I guess you just do, right? I think I could have done it last night, but I was so antsy about moving (cause I'm moving lol) so I think I just gave up, which is what I did if I recall correctly. Anyhow, will try again tonight. So far it's been 16 days since my first two LDs! :O That's waaaay too long imo.

That's what she said.


By staying aware, do you mean during the actual WILD, or do you mean aware as in remembering to even try?

I mean when I wake up after my alarm goes off and I remain still. How do I stay aware through the process, through SP, and into the dream? I've done it once before but have had difficulty for 16 consecutive nights since my first two lucid dreams.

I'm completely new to Lucid Dreaming, and this will be my first go at it. I was wondering if someone could give me any tips, as I still dont really get what
to do for the transition.

I'm going to give this a break. I think I'm focusing too much on it and doing it every single night has made me lose my motivation. I'll take a break of at least a week, will let you know how that works out.

Read the last 4ish pages.

I keep sleeping through the alarm. I swear there's something wrong with my speakers...

Man, your alarm noise was freakin scary - almost got a heart attack when it woke me up at 5:30 AM *laughs*
I decided to use a bell noise (4 sec) now, sounds like a cathedral bell ring.

Hope that'll wake me up more "gently"...

so my birthday was 2 days ago, and I got an IPod touch, and I'm going to try that alarm thing someone has mentioned before (I got the 12,24 alarm app) I haven't tried a CAN WILD in a while....
so has this alarm thing worked for you? I go into a good REM state after about 5 hours...
I feel very confident in this tonight, should I take vitamin B6?

this tutorial is EXACTLY what im looking for
i have been interested in LDing for a while but havnt had them in some time, basically due to dedication issues
i needed a brand new technique to help me ease back into lding..i think this is it
ive been trying wbtb with almost no success and i will def try this tonight
i should be in bed around 1..to sleep around 2 and ill wake myself up for 8am..i hope i get lucid
ill let you know

ok so I've been getting lazy with this and haven't tried a CAN WILD in a while
but tonight I will, I set my settings on the 12,24 alarm clock app for my ipod touch

but I have a question, should I sleep with headphones in? (not earbuds, the big headphones, so it's more comfy, I did last night part of the night for binaural beats and I was fine)
i don't know what I should do for that...

and if the ipod is on lock, will the alarm go off still?

oh and I just found another app called "Sleep Cycle alarm clock" ! for the ipod touch/iphone!
I don't know if it's been mentioned on this thread, but it's only a dollar and it looks very useful

ok haha sorry I'm posting again
BUT this app looks extremely helpful, so tonight I'm going to use the "Sleep Cycle alarm clock" app, and it shows how much you move when you sleep and wakes you up at the best time for you, but, it will show when you are in your deepest sleep, so you guys can get a good idea when you REM is (good for beginers!) so I'm going to use this app tonight and see what a good time is for me to do the CAN WILD, I will report back tomorrow
then tomorrow night I will try can wild
haha I'm so excited, and you guys should download this app if you need to find your REM phase!

This tutorial sounds great so I'm going to be giving it a try for the next couple months. I go to sleep at 11 so I'll be setting the alarm for 4:15 (I get up at 5:45 every day) and I'll adjust accordingly.

Good luck.

1st Attempt:

Alarm went off (its a spacey jingle tone that slowly rises over 3 seconds so it doesn't jar me awak) and I kept my eyes closed and didn't move. I got a real tingly feeling on my body and then SP fell over me. SP is a very interesting feeling, this is the first time it has happened to me I started to imagine a dream scene, while I was doing this I got this really weird feeling that I was standing up and my bed was no longer there. My vision turned really 3D'ish and I could make out trees and sand. I could hear and kind of feel big gushes of wind and waves crashing...and then nothing. I think I might have fallen asleep or woken up from being startled by the wind and waves.

So that was really cool can't wait to try again tonight. I'll post more results in 5 days or so, unless I get a lucid before then


Oh and when I felt like I was standing and no longer in my bed my heart started beating like crazy and got a real surge of energy.

OK you guys, I have a question, how long did it take you guys to find a good time to do this!? is it better to wake during REM, after REM, before REM? if I wake up not during a rem phase or super close to one, will it ruin it ?

Right before or during REM. It doesn't matter which.

How long did it take you to find a perfect time?

ive been messing around with lucid dreams for a while and im still trying to find the perfect time..its all about how tired you are, when you go to sleep in relation to your normal sleeping patters, and pure luck. rem cycles are (almost) exactly 90 minutes if im not mistaken, so waking yourself up either during, or right before you start another one is quite a small window. but chances are that if you wake yourself up after 6 hours and manage to wake, without moving, and slowly fall back asleep using this method, chances are you will slip back into a dream. rem cycles are so close together in the morning after sleeping for 6 hours or more that you are have a pretty good chance of hitting one if you follow everything here.

im trying this again tonight..or i should say tomorrow morning..with a louder and longer alarm lol

ill post how it goes

This technique is showing great promise! I woke up, laid still with my eyes closed, and felt SP fall over me. HH started up and I was hearing little girls giggling and playing around... kinda creepy lol, but I told myself it wasn't real. It was kind of hard to breath also. I think maybe my face was in my pillow or something which woke me up.

30 minutes later I woke but lay still with my eyes closed and I got everything going again! But then my stupid regular alarm went off

1 question I have is how do you transition from SP to the dream. Do you just do Mantra's until you fall asleep? Or do the imaganing a dream scene?

theres several ways to enter a dream from a WILD..either by 'opening your dream eyes' into the dream, sitting up in your dream, or imagining yourself falling down thru your bed..or floating up away from it..basically just try to use any visual and auditory tricks to your advantage..if you feel like youre spinning, then try to spin into the dream. you just have to make sure that if youre going to sit up, or open your eyes, then make SURE youre actually in a dream, and dont just actually sit up or acually open your eyes, bc then it will be ruined :/

i tried this last night but was only half awakened..i dont think my alarm went off..so i need a different method
thia has a lot of promise to become the next big WILD technique

I had four dreams last night, two lucid using this technique with DEILD for the second. But then I had to get up.

I usually cut my first dream after I become lucid, so I can practice DEILD for the next dream.

how aware/awake should my mind be when using this tech (or any other wild tech for that matter)?

also, are there any tips for staying aware while not getting too excited (and ruining the process)?

oh I forgot to add, on the first time the alarm off, I started to visualize a dream, but it was sorta weird because I think I started to get into the dream because I remember I "felt" my nose twitch, but i didn't twitch it in reality, I was starting to enter a dream, but I didn't know how to "roll out" of my dream body which I felt would have been good to do
how do you do iy?
