Thread: How long does SP take before you can enter a dream?

It can take a long time, depending on how much you slept before and if you hit your REM-Cycle. A hint: Try WILDing at day, around 2:00/3:00 PM, it is a lot easier for me then. And remember, time can feel like hours when you are lying there, waiting for SP, but don't give up
A good method to keep your brain active is presented by Clairity in her WILD-Tutorial. She suggests to go through the alphabet and thinking about something at each letter. Like "a like abraham lincoln, imagine him, b like bomb, imagine a bomb" and so on.
Her WILD-Tutorial is worth reading anyway
But First of all I would try to WILD at day, as I said before, for me it is a lot easier than WILDing at night

Good Luck

Once you actually enter SP, it generally doesn't take too much longer to transition into the dream state. Usually 1-5 minutes. The hardest part is actually getting to SP in the first place, which can take a long time depending on your situation. Once in SP, instead of making something happen...just let it happen. Basically, allow your body to transition on its own and don't worry/get too excited about the ongoing process. If you still have trouble transitioning, you can attempt a few techniques such as, building your own dream scene with your mind and immersing yourself within it. Good luck and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
