So I've been trying WILDs lately after i came back to LDing from the month or 2 inactivity due to my finals. Hey at least I passed |
|
After a while of trying to do several other techniques, i think the only technique that i really want to do is WILD. SSILD has taught me that i should "let go" a little bit on my awareness, which further confirms my initial thoughts that i weren't sure of. My method is to use my anchor to dive into sleep with a small amount of awareness hanging. As i have observed before, i do the anchor until at some point illogical thoughts take over until later on i slip back into awareness. |

I fill my heart with fire, with passion, passion for what makes me nostalgic. A unique perspective fuels my fire, makes me discover new passions, more nostalgia. I love it.

^^ Definitely not enough focus, Louai, but it might be easy to fix. |

Thnx a lot! Knew you'd have good answers. I guess I'll stay awake more during the wbtb, but to be honest I was scared of staying too long bcz I'm getting insomnia lately. Must be cuz it's summer vacation now and I'm not working as hard as I did during the day compared to when I was still studying all the time. |

I managed a really good wbtb last night - very relaxed and clear - laid down to wild got just passed the very still opening out of my mind bit and soon after fell asleep ... seems I am having similar probs as others I think which is that my anchor is not strong enough to take me through to the point of no return - the main thing is " Dont give up" I am sure - Anyway just checking in |

Wild attempt in detail in my DJ |

Okay. I'm sensing that I'm not being taken seriously, but, regardless, I'll keep playing too: |

I had a pretty weird experience last night trying to DEILD after a NLD. I ended up in both my dream body and my waking body. I also seemed to have much more control than normal over the dream as well (I was able to fling a annoying DC into space with the wave of my hand). I was trying to use my senses to pull myself more into the dream (I'm not sure if that's the best method or not but it seems to stabilize other lucids). Would that be a DEILD since I was in the dream and could use my senses? Or is it just the threshold of a DEILD since I could still feel my body? I'm guessing this it pretty subjective but it was a new experience and wasn't sure what to do or what it would be called. |

^^ Yes, that does sound like a DEILD, Zachlew; thanks for sharing! |

Thanks Sageous! |

2.37am ( went to bed at 9 pm ) woke up and sat up for wbtb - after meditation mantras - speaking to my sub saying that we are one so help me be aware in my dreams ect -" smooth entry" - from wake to sleep with consciousness - some visualising of green fields with abridged to another place but imagining the water under the bridge is drying up so one could walk there where wild flowers are growing...Water all around tho, anyway |

Tried it today, but i did the mistake of trying it without needing sleep. To add up, my memory is very foggy around what actually happened but i'll try to piece it together. |

Yes, too unstable, I'd think, or maybe just too close to a waking-state (if you woke up when the dream ended, that is). |
|
I'm getting serious on my WBTB attempts starting today and hopefully i don't shut the alarm down and go back to sleep since it's a really good chance to WILD. I still have some doubts on whether or not that i'll be able to ignore the noise, but nonetheless i'll give it a shot. I only need to succeed once so that i'll get the method down on paper.. |
|
Okay, another strange occurence but i blame myself for making a couple of mistakes. |

^^ Pretty cool stuff, TDHXIII; thanks for sharing! |

I attempted to WILD a week ago or so, after I woke up early in the morning for no apparent reason. I got up and walked around, thought about a dream scene, what I'd do in the dream, etc, for about 15 minutes. Although I had a DILD the same day, the WILD attempt was a disaster. Maintaining awareness and falling asleep felt mutually exclusive that morning. Whenever my body relaxed and I started to fall asleep, my heart started to beat real fast and I had to start all over again. I'm not sure why. Whenever I relaxed I started to feel anxious. I think part of it was because I'm bit apprehensive about sleep paralysis. At one point I laid completely still for a good 15 minutes and nothing happened whatsoever. I eventuallly just let myself drift to sleep. I then had a DILD which is most certainly better than nothing . As you've probably noticed I'm completely new to WILDs. I think I need to change my approach but I'm not sure to what. |

^^ Welcome, Icebender! |

Well, depends on how you put it. |

Thank you for your help, your link about SP gave me the courage to attempt to WILD once more . The SP was barely noticeable, but boy, was I not ready for the sensations. I heard this ear-grating noise that sounded something like the chirps of crickets, but louder and kinda distorted. This weird shifting pattern of pink and green squares covered my vision, along with other random imagery (some images were coherent, others were just weird patterns). It was basically a sensory overload, I started to freak out and managed to move my hands to break SP. |
