Thread: Extreme WILD attempts

Hmm it's odd that you can't fall asleep, maybe you should change your WBTB time.
Try this:

1: Sleep and set your alarmclock to wake you up 5 hours later
2: Stay up for 5 minutes (or less( just make sure that you can fall asleep again
3: Go to bed and start the timer ( I use my Ipod and a app that works the same way as the lucidology timer)
4: If you wake up you are in SP lay still and do a DEILD
5: You can also be dreaming, perform a free-movement reailty check.

When do you go to bed? Try to avoid sunlight or any other lights it makes you too alert.

I went to bed 01:00 last night.
But I'm gonna go to bed in like half an hour (23:30) tonight.
I'll probably wake myself up like 4:30 tonight. Should be pretty quiet then unless some idiots decides to throw a party tonight

Ok, heres what I tried tonight.
I went to bed 23:45 and started the timer on my laptop.
I set the first timer to 300minutes (5 hours) and left the rest unchanged.
When the first timer went off 04:45 I stayed in bed found a comfy position, and just tried to relax again to fall asleep.
But I think I must be trying to hard, or maybe the knowledge that an alarm is going to ring in 12 minutes is keeping me awake, because I still couldn't fall asleep.
I was actually awake for four alarms before I decided that I had to get some real sleep.
Am I supposed to just keep trying even though I haven't fallen alseep for so long?

Maybe this method just doesn't work for me

Okay I'm going to try this method again I woke up 8.00 am and WBTB and the time is now 09.00.
The timer ramp looks like this: 8min, 4min, 8min, 12min. 16min 20min, 20min and that's it.
And hopefully if I become lucid I stabilize the dream enough to make it feel real.

i have tried this a handful of times. i first learned of it from the infamous "lucidology" videos.

each time i have tried it i could not fall back asleep before the initial 8 min timer.

you guys have inspired me to try it again.

Yeah me too, when I first started this I never could fall asleep again. Now I know that was because I either set the WBTB to late or that I was up to long in my WBTB
now I set the WBTB alarm to wake me up 5 hours later and when I wake up I just put on a sleepmask and start the ramp and fall asleep immediately.
And now I don't even try to DEILD when the alarm beeps I just fell asleep and asleep and I even move. And now this method is like a 100 % guranteed DILD but it's still as vivid as a WILD and all I have to do now is to remember to do a realitycheck, but that is easy because the dream is much more vivid and I am more aware.
And while I was writing this I just came up with an Idea that may make me lucid everytime o.O
I just mentioned that I move everytime I wake up because I don't care about the DEILD, then all I have to do is to perform a MOVEMENT realitycheck after each alarm.
Like the noseplug realitycheck. But my biggest problem is to remember to stabilize the dream. I really hope that I get a false awakening xD

I reply my results tomorrow.
