Including a RC within a RRC seems a fine idea, as it is a good fit, context-wise. I don't think I'd add anything else, though; that could lead to complication and confusion, which runs anathema to successful LD'ing. |

is more than that when you get to the really understand it, you pay attention to every detail every move every decision you make, and that will have a major positive influence on your future and those around you . Sweet Dreams |

I'm really starting to question if this is worth it. I do a quick 1-2 minute session every hour; however, it feels like I've not increased my awareness. I guess it's possible I'm just slowly increasing it and I don't notice the change, but I'm not too sure how this is suppose to help me with the DILD technique. I've been doing it for about a week now, so I guess I should keep doing it to get better and better. |
|
^^ Yup, you should keep at it, Buckey. A week is not a very long time, when you are doing an exercise meant to adjust your natural, hard-wired, experience of reality itself. This is not a small thing, and can take quite a while. For what it's worth, I've been doing this exercise for years and still am far away from where I want to be, result-wise. |

Sorry to bother you Sageous, but I've having a hard time with WILD for a couple of months now. I read through your whole guide and many others, I do everything by the books but nothing ever happens. Most of the times I manage to stay there motionless, and just sleep like normal or I don't sleep at all for a good time during and after the attempt. |
|
^^ No bother at all, Cuzero! |
|
Thanks man. If you have the time to read it I'd be very grateful. |
|
I just wanted to post to say that this method really has worked for me. I started about, maybe just over a week ago, and the logic behind it makes sense to me, what use is it to discover you're dreaming, if you don't know that you can affect or change it, and that is what I gleaned from just a read through of the original posts. |
|
What would you think to be the best WILD Technique for a complete beginner? |
|
For the complete beginner? I'd probably recommend DILD, or better yet MILD. |
|
Thanks! - the reason that WILD Stodd out to me is because I tried it once before, I got to some HI and really enjoyed it, which was cool as I was reading how everyone said that it is scary and not to bother. But I liked it and found it interesting, which is why I have always enjoyed it. It just seems so different and amazing that my mind can conjure all these things, dunno. |
|
Just so I know what to expect, being rapid eye movement, can you actually feel your eyes rapidly moving as you drift into dreamland, or is that a separate sensation altogether? |
|
^^ You really can't feel them move; there's really no sensation of REM at all, except maybe the sensation of "seeing" the images that are beginning to form in your dream. |
|
That's very helpful, thanks. I wasn't really expecting an LD, being so early on, but I figured it was worth a shot, and it seems I was doing something physically wrong, then. It might have been closing my eyes too tightly to try to focus more on anything appearing in my vision instead of the light. Being completely relaxed and taking each thought one at a time has always been hard for me. Hopefully this whole pursuit helps in that regard if nothing else. |
|
I hope it all works for you, chris1255 ... and remember, it's best to always expect a lucid dream, even early on, and even if it takes a while to get there! |
|
I have been trying to WILD for a couple days. Yes I'm a noob haha, but I went to a park with a waterfall today and it helped me come up with a mantra. "Flow". It will cause my dream to start at a waterfall and help me flow into the dream. So I have a question. I can keep awareness like a pro but I never get into a dream. I hear light noises, twitch, see colors, and feel like I'm spinning and I just can't form the dream. Tips besides WBTB? Ill try that soon enough and I use flex-freeze and counting breath and then mantra on exhale. |

Welcome, Yezan! |

Hey Sageous, |
|
^^ I don't know, Kamskun. By your post I think you understand exactly what a RRC is, in its entirely. Indeed, your pet example succinctly describes the RRC's ultimate value of clarifying your place in a dream during the dream. You are indeed going about it the right way; nicely done! |
|
Thanks for your feedback. |
|
Alright, here's my question--to anyone who is experienced in successful WILDing. |
|
Dream Related Goals:
have at least 1 lucid dream this month [X] | remember 1 dream every night 1 week in a row [X ] | Successful MILD this month [X] | Successful WILD this month [ ]
I just noticed this thread... rather than start a new thread here, you might do well to either post directly in one of the existing Q & A threads in this forum, or else go to the regular WILD forum and post there, as no one will see it here (even me!). |
|
Wasn't sure if I should continue on this thread...I had similar...from my DJ: |
