^^ Overall that looks like an excellent attempt, Sydney, you are indeed getting close! There were a few small things, though: |

I think the best thing to do is nothing, except quietly think dreamy thoughts. Here are a few suggestions, in no particular order, of things you might consider trying (one at a time, of course; don't jam them all into one WBTB or you will wake up fully for sure!): |

Those sound awesome! I've never heard of just doing that during a WBTB; I always thought you had to do a lot in order to wake up. Maybe that's just me. But I'm definitely trying one of these tonight, Sageous. Thanks! |

Bed around 9pm probably sleep around 10 - after sitting for a while then repeating the mantra " when I see my hands I realise I am dreaming"'while I look gently at my hands ( I just started this very recently but will try to keep it up for a month now ) |

Thanks for the reply Sageous. |

Seems like a good attempt, Patience, but -- other than time, practice, and, yes indeedy, patience -- there might still be one or two small things you might consider: |

I'm new to this forum but I've been interested in lucid dreaming for 4-5 years, though I go long periods of time without practicing or experimenting with new methods, so excuse me if I ask some newbie questions. I just recently got back into lucid dreaming because I have more time to try it out. I've never gotten even remotely successful with WILD so I normally stick to WBTB combined with MILD, and this works fairly well for me. However, I was really hoping to gain a better grasp on how to WILD and the best way to achieve it. I have never experienced sleep paralysis before or any of the other phenomenon associated with WILDing. I'm fairly efficient at relaxing quickly; however, when I do feel fairly relaxed and like I'm on the right track, I start to feel an extremely noticeable swaying motion like I'm moving back and forth repeatedly. This is the only phenomenon I have ever experienced with WILDing and it only lasts about 10 seconds before subsiding. It seems to make me alert to the point that I have to start over again and then it happens again next time I'm relaxed. For instance, I just attempted a WILD in the afternoon a couple of hours ago, and this sensation happened three separate times, 10 minutes apart, and kept me from having any success. Is this common? Is the swaying a good sign or is it unrelated to WILD? If it is a good phenomenon, how do I prolong the swaying and keep from fully waking up again? Thanks for your help! |

^^ Welcome to DreamViews, Cayman! |

It's been a while since I did a dedicated WBTB for practicing WILD, but I was lucky enough to have one spontaneously today! |

Thanks Sageous The tips on Mantra are apreciated too - for my Mild practice a mantra like - |

Those last nights, I' am more in the "Pure WILD" stuff than the "Device assisted DEILD". |

TDHXIII is probably correct, Tblanco. |

Ah, now this is where I start getting discouraged... |

Then this is also the time when you should walk away from discouragement... discouragement only makes all this more difficult. Try to see things like finding your best stay up time as a challenge, and not a new (or, worse, perpetual) problem. That said: |

Sageous, your amazing reply brought on a new surge of motivation! ^^ |
