Thank you! |

Agreed; I should've been clearer about that, but I think you got it. |

Hey Ya'll, (That's in my Southern Ireland accent!) |

Nicely done, Nailler! |

Wow - congratulation Nailler!! |
|
When I'm close to falling asleep, I create a brief visual... a person, place, or thing in the blackness or patterns I'm seeing behind closed eyes. Then I immediately leave it alone. After a while, these visual seeds take root and begin to grow and expand on their own. It's not long before one expands into a full dream scene with me in it. |

I had a really cool WILD dive today. The sensation of the descent was completely new, and I replicated it in DEILD. Oh, and Sageous - I'm sorry I thought badly of you. I didn't mean it, I was just trying stuff out. |
|
Last two WILD attempts went nowhere. Just when it seems I'm getting the hang of it, it becomes difficult again. What worked to get me back in the groove last time I stalled, was to go back to working on prep and state of mind stuff, so I'm going to do that again. |

Congratulation Sibyline!! |

A WEIRD ONE |

I've had that happen before. It's a weird one because you aren't actually lucid, you are just running through a routine in which the actor in the dream believes he/she is lucid. |
|
I've had the nobody's home thing too, but this one was a little different. For me it's far easier to remember lucid dreams than it is non-lucid ones. And this one, I still remember start to finish hours later, without remembering a memory of a dream... what I remembered when I first woke up. |

Hi everyone. I just attempted a WILD a few minutes ago, but I failed. I always get stuck at the same spot. I know SP is different for everyone, but this time for me, I lay down to nap as I usually do for a WILD attempt. I lay still and eventually drift off to a dirt road that I'm walking on. Out of nowhere, I realize it's a dream (this never happens to me, which is why I tend to WILD more) and it causes me to wake up. As soon as I wake up, I remain perfectly still as I become aware of the vibrations and stuff. I hear someone's voice laugh, then it trails off and echoes. Here's where I get stuck. |

^^ I suggest that you take the time to look through the class to which this thread is attached, Reamous. You will find that there is much more to WILD than just lying still, and you will also find that "SP" and those vibrations are just so much noise that you would do well to ignore (paying attention to that noise could be the reason you get stuck). |

Ok, thanks for the info! I've been scouring the web for exactly what to do at that point, I guess I just forgot to thoroughly check this site as well. |

^^ I hope you do; I have a feeling you will not be disappointed! However, if after going through the class you still have no answer to getting stuck, then feel free to ask again here or on the class's Q&A thread, and I'll try to come up with something. |

Last couple of WILD attempts resulted in only a good night's sleep. I don't know why. |
|
^^ Sometimes change is good. It won't be much of a change though, since DEILD is just another form for WILD... if you're DEILDing, you're WILDing! |
|
Lucky you, they end up in losing hours of sleep for me. Like this morning . How is it possible to get so close to the edge of sleep, and yet not fall asleep? I was there, I could *feel* it right there.....but no sleep. There was a little something somewhere I just couldn't find in order to let go of it. |

Maybe... or maybe DEILD is just the better form of WILD for you. It has tended to be my dive of choice over the years, simply because my lack of patience and focus necessary for WILD makes it a tedious task for me. Also, I suppose I very often refuse to let go of the dream from which I'm currently waking, so DEILD has become a timely tool for me. Oh, and it is so much easier for me to get back to sleep right away in DEILD than it is for me to get to sleep later with WILD. |

^^ Wait, what? Ah crap browser ate my response. |
