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

Well, last night was interesting anyways. I set my alarm for 3:30 and managed to wake up to it, but my throught was so dry that it was causing me severe pain. I decided that I really did need a drink, and I felt much better after I drank a glass of water, but it still caused a failed attempt.
I returned to bed and tryed a regular WBTB WILD, which failed after about 2 minutes because of low sleep.
Interestingly, it appears that I managed to become lucid through a DILD. The only problem is that I forgot about 90% of it, except for this scene about flying above the ocean, which was right before I woke up anyways.

I'd call this attempt failed. Sure, I got a lucid dream, but it wasn't CAN-WILD and I'm really only interested in WILDs (After hearing about the insanely vivid dreams they bring you).

BTW, are CAN-WILDs anywhere near the vivid level of real-life generally?

Yes, they are as real as real life in my experience, even though I've only done it once.
But good attempts by the two of you none the less! I think I'll try that too and set several alarms in an effort to confuse me as to when I'm asleep and when I'm awake, might help me try to compensate with being aware, at least thats my theory. I also failed this morning but I was too tired I think, cause I slept through both of my alarms.

Hey, I skipped over most of this thread but I found it interesting that your dream sounds kinda like mine. I had a lucid dream this morning that ended with me flying over (well, more like into xD) the ocean. I posted it to my DJ. Anyway, this is relevant because there was a moment in the dream that I focused on the surroundings and it seemed, to me, to reach that real-life vividness (which is VERY rare for me, by the way. This might be the first time ever). It stopped when I moved on with the dream, but it was quite an experience anyways. I now have a new goal to try to attain that vividness more often. I'm rambling a bit, I know. But the point is, if a DILD can reach real-life vividness, I'm sure a CAN-WILD can.

As for the method itself, I want to try it but I think I'd wake up my roommate, and I don't want to do that. Also, I'm likely to either wake up too much and not fall back asleep, or not wake up enough. In any case, I won't be able to set an alarm. However, if I know I have to wake up at a certain time, I'm very likely to wake up a few minutes early. It's actually pretty rare for me to hear my alarm go off, because I shut it off before it gets the chance. I'm thinking that maybe if I set the intention to get up a bit earlier (like 8:00 instead of 9), that will be enough. Then I just have to remember to actually stay still! Most wild methods don't work for me because no matter how long I lay there, I only get a partial SP or numbness, and I never experience HI. Perhaps this method will skip that. We'll see!

I´m going for it tonight.
