WILD; So cool... yet so frustrating.

[Elucive]

It's crazy how there are so many different ways to approach WILD. It's crazy how 1 tutorial can totally contradict another. 1 can say "don't move", and another can say "move every now and then". 1 can say "focus on your breathing", and another can say "don't focus on anything, it'll keep your mind awake." I've been on this site for about 3 years now. It's really refreshing to see new people join, eager to start their lucid journey. But it's crazy how throughout the years I've seen the same topics and questions, over and over again. That includes me by the way, lol. Do you guys ever think 1 day we'll all conquer WILD? Do you think 1 day some genious will come up with some flawless method that anyone can achieve success with? I hope so. That would be a great day, and achievement for lucid dreaming!

There will always be many different approaches to dreaming, and some will carry some validity since dreams are of many layered conscious/unconscious states - and people dream in different ways. There will be no flawless method. It's sometimes sound to remember that it is the experience and not the theory that matters. Also, as many new members of the forum join it's natural for them to ask the same question over/over. It's how we grow here at the forum - by helping others begin the journey to conscious dreaming.

~Everyone has a WILD side only few know how to use it~

I don't think that that it's the problem of the methods, but the people who give up on them. There's so many variations because there's a lot of things that work for some people and not for others. If anyone takes the most basic wbtb/wild technique and make adjustments to it according to how their body responds, they should be able to form a method that works for them. Personally for me, learning to WILD was a trial and error journey, and I think a lot of other people can say the same thing. So yes...in a way the perfect WILD tutorial already exists, but it's up to the learner to shape it to their needs.

You really have to accustom it to your own needs.

Lol at everyone has a wild side, but anyway i think you just have to find the technique that works for you. Wilds don't work for everyone, for me personally, i've had success with Wild, deidl, dild rarely but none of the visualization technique have worked for me that much, although i've had around 2 milds, that's the one thing that i want is a mild or a vild or v-wild or whatever you want to call it.
