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

Wow! That tech is amazing! I tried it and entered SP Extremly fast, but I failed to enter the dream. I think it's because of my parents making to much noise in the house or maybe I waited to much. Anyway I'm going to try it again. For a first try I think it's great. I wasn't able to reach SP so easily with any other techniques!!!

Isn't this basically just DEILD?

I didn't read the post but it seems like it.. Also what I do is plug my iPod into my speakers and have the alarm set to play a playlist, and on the playlist there is one song that is 40 seconds long.. So it has pretty much the same purpose.

I have a 16 GB iPod btw, I don't think touches have the alarm feature.

Congrats on that! Keep on truckin' and you'll eventually get it. Happy I could help you make progress in your LDing!!

Yes, what you do with your iPod is basically the same as what this tutorial aims for.

As I outline in the original post, CANWILD is basically a more direct and guaranteed way of WILDing through DEILD-induced means (though I shouldn't say "DEILD-induced" specifically, it's more like "REM exit-induced"; CANWILD still works if it awakens you when you're not in the middle of a dream). I list what I believe to be the advantages of this method over DEILD in the original post. I'll list them here:

— The CANWILD method, unlike with DEILD, is reliable in that it will do what it needs to do every time you attempt. DEILD’s exiting from a dream consciously is unreliable; it might happen, it might not. CANWILD’s alarm ensures that you will wake up when you need to, and the alarm will remind you of what you're trying to do: WILD.

— DEILD can have bad timing. Let’s say you awaken from a dream 2 minutes before your normal alarm is ready to ring in the morning. If you get into a LD successfully, your alarm will wake you from it. With CANWILD, the only alarm that will be going off is the one involved in the technique itself.

— CANWILD is better than DEILD for people who more interested in achieving effortless and on-demand WILDs. With the DEILD method, you must work on DILD-related dream recall, reality checks, and other pre-sleep methods to increase the likelihood that you will consciously exit a dream. With CANWILD, the alarm does all the work; you don’t need to do any advanced preparation.

and I'll add one more:

— CANWILD can often help with likelihood of DILDs. Every time you hear the alarm it wakes you from a likely REM period, so even if you fail at WILDing, you'll likely become lucid through a DILD later in the dream state because of the conscious awareness-raising that CANWILD enforces (this happened to me the other night).

This sounds awesomely promising, and it's SO right up my alley.

My problem with DEILDs is that I'm the kind of person who relies on as small an amount of random chance as possible, and I hated that I was left to simply HOPE I would wake up after an REM phase.

Like I said this sounds awesome...
I have a very quiet laptop in my room so I will install the Easy Alarm Cock software and post my results at the end of this week.

Thumbs up and thanks for publishing the guide!

Gunna try to CAN-WILD 2nite with my iTouch calender alarm.

Wish me luck. c u in 10 hours

I set the alarm to go off at 4am, and was SO close to having success!

I became somewhat conscious and immediately went into nearly complete sleep paralysis, but unfortunately I forgot to stay still and broke myself out of it I was so mad at myself, haha.

Thanks for the tutorial!

Long long time ago I have tried this (using LucidWeaver), but without success because I got up to shut off the alarm clock. :s But I think I'll try this again sometime, maybe at weekend.

Great to hear you were close to being successful!! Just keep on trying and you'll definitely get it eventually. Since you can do CANWILD every night without seriously disrupting your sleep, you can try every night! Good luck and keep us posted!

Good luck! Just as an added tip, if your alarm noise has a certain rhythm to it (or if it's someone's voice like mine is), then it also works good to repeat the sound or words of the alarm in your head over and over again before going to sleep.

This makes it more likely that you'll immediately recognize the alarm when it rings, and remember not to move when you hear it.

i use a suicide silence song, 'Wake up',(My Alarm) and I have the first 11 secs or so of WAKE UP WAKE UP screaming in my ears.

Problem is, my dad says it is bad for me to hav headphones in all night...
I am waking up at 12.30 (i got to bed at 10ish) to put them in and set the alarm.

If i set my alarm for 5.20am, and get up at 7, will it still work?

will i be in REM sleep or before it by then?

and will it work?

cheers

Awesome, I think I'm gonna try this tonight.

I nearly did it last night. I woke up, and i went into SP Really fast. And then i noticed that my alarm was still going off. I forgot to change the alarm to the one i made for this. Ah well. I'm not giving up.

This technique souds interesting. Thanks fo providing the link to that alarm by the way. I tried it last night but I was so excited I woke up twice before.

That's a great tip, I failed because I just flipped on my side and went back to sleep when the alarm went off, if you know the sound of the alarm you'll know that you must not move and start being aware.

If your alarm always go off at the same time you may someday wake up by your own, I have a pretty fast sleep schedule adaptation and when I was doing WBTB at like 5am in the morning, I was waking up by myself at like 4:5X AM. I think it's called CATWILD or something, quite different though. I am so going off-topic right now lol.

This is basically what I do!!! I was trying to WILD when after about 20 mins I just rolled over!

And when my alarm goes off, I just roll over as well

I just end up ignoring it now, becuase if its too loud, it scares the sh*t outta me!

Can anyone share with me the mp3 they use that I can put on my iPod? Just something like a man saying, 'wake up and WILD' or something.

Basically anything that does scare me if its loud

Dunno how some of you can have earphones on all night, isn't that extremely uncomfortable?

I read on these forums that some guy put like a pin in the wall above his head and hung his earphones from them, and had the volume up really high so he could hear the MP3 player's alarm.

iPods have speakers. :3 Even my 2nd gen Nano have an alarm on it.

Yeah I was thinking of those docking stations where you can set the iPod into, but for simpler MP3 players or if you don't have one of those docks.

EDIT: Or can the alarm can be heard without 'em?

Wow!!! Very nice tutorial AND technique! I have a watch that goes off after a few seconds and its loud enough for me to wake up AND it can be set for like 24 hours in advanced. So tommorow ill tell you my results!

Sweet, Mancon! Do you have any links to where some of our other friends could find such a watch online? Do you remember where you got it? We're still looking for a main alarm clock alternative to PCs and iPods. Thanks

Sure! I bet I could find it online. Its a pretty cool watch that has a time and you can set it to beep in like 20 minutes or 20 hours and after like 10 seconds the beeping dies down. Im a light sleeper so it wakes me up but if your a pretty heavy sleeper im not positive the beep would wake you up. Ill edit this post as soon as I find a link to the watch.

EDIT: this is some links to the watch:

If none of these links work for you then you can search for Casio futurist LA-2001. I have an orange color.

Hello, I just joined this forum. I've had a few lucid dreams in my life and only yesterday did I realize it actually had a name.

Soo...

I go to sleep at 10pm and wake up at 6am, I set my alarm at 3am. Do you think that's alright? My phone doesn't have a 'repeat' feature but it has a record audio, I recorded a 4 second clip of a song, but since my phone makes it so it repeats as long as it has to to cover a minute, It's a 4 second clip of a song, then white noise.

So to my understanding, All I have to do is...

1 : Before I go to sleep, do the *repeat something*... etc. etc.
2 : When my alarm sounds, 1st thing I have to NOT do is open my eyes? visualize what I was dreaming and somehow i'll get into that?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, All iPods except Shuffles have an alarm clock which don't need an actual speaker, not even earplug or anything. I'm not sure about the old Nano and iPod videos. Pretty useful.

Yeah my old nano didn't have anything like that but the newer ones do
