[ninjadreamer]

I've recently tried using the WILD tech to get a lucid dream but i cant even get to SP any more! the first time i tried i got there but now i just fall asleep! Please help!!

I have not been in SP in a long time, but how awake are you when you attempt the WILD attempt?

[ninjadreamer]

Well i was really tired the first time i tried it but the recent times i've been just sleepy

[Lucid-Balloon]

I one more question i need to answer before i can give you advice, what time did you go to sleep and when did you get the alarm for the WILD attempt?

[ninjadreamer]

i went to bed around 11 the first time and woke up at 4 and recently i've gone to bed at 9-10 and woken up at 1

i went to bed around 11 the first time and woke up at 4 and recently i've gone to bed at 9-10 and woken up at 1 Try sleeping for five hours like your first attempt.

[Lucid-Balloon]

Try sleeping for five hours like your first attempt. That is also what i was going to suggest. You should try doing that.

Try sleeping for five hours like your first attempt. hmm, while, it's technically true that you should try to WILD anywhere between 4-6hr, I've found that in my attempts to WILD 5hr into my sleep, it just doesn't work. I tried for 30minutes at one point and just couldn't fall asleep :\

Try reverse-blinking. I tried it, and it actually works to get you tired.. In the case that you aren't tired when you wake up.. This happens to me. I recommend you reverse-blink. Basically, all that is, is closing your eyes, and opening them for a second. Do that 5-15 times and you're eyes should feel like rocks. Hope this helped, -Dave

Ok! Sounds a little weird but I'll try it!

[ClearView]

It's a technique that other dreamers use, its not just me I just thought that maybe incorporating it into your process/ method might help a bit. -Dave

[BigFan]

Ok! Sounds a little weird but I'll try it! Clearview is correct, although, I usually reverse blink really fast until I can't anymore

[ClearView]

That works too, although if you try to hard, you may fall asleep. -Dave

[BigFan]

That works too, although if you try to hard, you may fall asleep. -Dave Well, I can only go so fast

[ClearView]

You never know, I was widely awake one second doing a WILD, the other second I am sleeping as if I have been in a sleeping state for 20 years and I would not be awoken for another 20. -Dave

Naturally it would be better to go back to what has worked for him in the past.

But Im not above trying new things!

But Im not above trying new things! Thats true. However sometimes its also better to stick with one method for a while. Akono is correct, keep aiming to what works best for you. That way, you will find what works best, and what doesn't work so well. Again, everyone has different qualities, prefrences, etc. It's hard to determine hard facts, rather than COMMON facts. Everything happens differently from one another. SOme people like DILD, and some people chose WILD over it. It is all their prefrence. -CV
