Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but if you want to lucid dream I suggest heading over to dreamviews.com

 

How do you keep your mind from not wandering off into a typical dream rather than a lucid one?
i can control it to get into a lower state of consciousness,
and see images, but then i drift off.
what would someone suggest to not ...disctract...oneself... to ... not ...completely 'sleep' ?
or... the last step into making into sleep paralysis?

 

oh man.
I've been practicing lucid dreaming for about a year now, but this.
this definitely has me interested.

I'm going to try this soon.

i'll be back with results.

 

I am bringing this thread back.

This was so interesting, and I've continued WILDing since my first experience posted in here. I'm really confused as to why stalk got banned? I'm glad that I met him on here so he could introduce me to WILDs before he was banned.

Anybody have some luck with this amazingness?

I love floating up out of my body... I did this great WILD recently where before it started I imagined myself jumping off of a cliff and BOOM i got sucked right into it. I began falling forever and let the wind blow past my body and ears. It was so loud it was incredible.

During one of my falls I started flying through this blue and white swirling/spiraling vortex... that was wonderful.

 

how do u manage to wake up after 4-6 hours? do u set an alarm? or just wake up? i have issues waking up as is, much less after only 4-6 hours...

ive done things where during a real dream i would look down at my hands, realize im dreaming, and then have complete control over my dreams and actually remember them... like i was dreaming about a picnic at one point, had the urge to look at my hands, did so, and then whatever i wanted to do, i did! it was a like a playground of dreaming haha... is this similar or something else?

 

I've never been able to MILD or WILD successfully. When WILDing, I never seem to get to the sleep paralysis stage. I'll get "mind's eye" visions, swirling things, icons, but I always seem to drift off at that stage. More work is needed. I think keeping a dream journal definitely helps with increasing lucidity.

 

Yes, and the dreams that I have AFTER I successfully WILD are always amazingly strange... I recently realized I was dreaming and pulled myself out of the dream into what I thought was reality (because I was laying in my bed staring at the ceiling), but my other dream was still happening in a little box in the lower right hand corner of my vision.

@ 10th Degree: taking control in your dream is like the second stage of a WILD. However, the great thing about WILDs is that you do it willfully, and also because when you first enter sleep paralysis crazy shit happens... and you get to float out of your body.

Also, I have stopped setting alarms and just do WILDs whenever I conveniently happen to wake up after 4-6 hours of sleep. They are worth the slight sleep deprivation, plus, you can just go back to sleep afterward.

The things you see and hear before you start the Lucid Dreaming are so loud and crazy. You should give it a shot. Also, try experimenting OUTSIDE of where you take control of your dreams... start a whole new idea... fly through space and warp your body... do weird shit

 

What is WILD?

 

Wild=wake induced lucid dream...
Read the forum

I'm so glad people are getting into this. It seems that everyone I talk to about it has experienced this somewhat but not totally, and did not realize they did.

 

Yea I was happy to meet this one guy who started Astral Projecting in like middle school haha. Right now somebody is telling me about how in their childhood they used to enter a half conscious state of sleep and control their dreams they had no idea that this was really friggin weird.

I need to WILD soon, but there's lots of shit going on in and out of school... I just can't get relaxed enough to do any right now.

 

Yo,
I always wanted to know what it was, and I'm guessing now that its "sleep paralysis" for a week I use to wake up at 3 am every morning (very oddly) and suddenly the room begins spinning and I'm definitely awake as this is happening. and when i wana get up from my bed then suddenly its too late and i cant move at all!!!! the clock begins ticking amazingly loud as ever quite slowly. and i just cant move or shout!!! I try and shout but its only air that comes out my mouth lol!!! its terrifying!!! and many times my teeth feels like its being ripped apart like stretched!! really painful indeed! this happens for maybe like a minute or 3 to 5min but not more.. and then everything just hazes back out to normal and it is as if nothing happened at all!! no pain, nothing!! its like you just woken up from a more than vivid dream and remembered everything but nothing happened!!!!!!

 

i am going to read this again, carefully tomorrow, and will try it very soon and will get back to you in the next few days if i can remember... it sounds interesting... :cheers2:

 

you do that miss lilly..
If you get it right then dont freak out the way I did. coz it can get somehow intense.

 

Just remember that it happens to you every night in your sleep... this time you are just aware of it. This doesn't have a specific duration like drugs do, either. If you want it to stop then just pull yourself out of it.

Good luck

 

I wrote this up really quickly for some people a while ago. It's not too thorough, and its a pretty rough outline of what to do.
-----------------------------------------------
-4 to 6 hours of sleep.
-Stay relaxed until it happens.
-Keep your arms at your side.
-Don't cross your legs.
-Remember that you're trying to make your body fall asleep before your mind.

-Your body sends signals to you to see if you are ready to fall asleep.
-The biggest signal is making you feel like you want to move or roll over.
-Don't do that
-This will become almost unbearable, but just don't roll over.

-You'll start feeling weird/funny (maybe just uncomfortable).
-Try to shoot yourself out of your body (this is not to be confused with a later stage that I'll mention)
-It helped me to imagine a cliff last time I did a WILD, and then jump off of it. This triggered the WILD for some reason, and sent my body into sleep paralysis.

-Once you enter sleep paralysis, and get over how friggin' strange it is, then actually SIT up out of your body... keep in mind this might feel odd because it feels exactly like you are just getting up out of bed in a floaty way.
-Then try to paint a picture in front of you and do whatever the fuck you want. I enjoy falling really far over and over again sometimes

last note: don't get overwhelmed by the sleep paralysis... its really trippy and can be really really LOUD. xD

This link contains much more thorough information than what I just posted:

---------------------------------------------

I hope that can get some of you going.

 

cheers for the link and extra info... still haven't done it consciously yet as i just haven't had the space... i promise to get back to this thread when i do though... i have experienced things which have just happened without my consciously trying to do it though, so am very interested in this... :cheers2:

 

I've tried it again.. but dont wana worK!!!!!!! everytime I wake up after 4 - 5 hrs then I'm wide wide awake too suddenly!!!!!!!! its crap to wake up like that I tell you... like really insane and it gets me angry where I would take my pillow and and run outside in my gown and smash it all over the palm tree like 3 in the morning.. neighbors complained that theres a psycho in a gown to the the neighborhood watch... I'm wanted already.. its terrible!! all because of this wake induced lucid dreaming... it definitely induced some aggravation..

 

Charlie... that's the weirdest post in this thread so far.

I am drunk and tired, but I want to post about my recent WILD soon... so I'll probably get to it tomorrow sometime. It involves Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming from inside of a dream... and it was confusing.

 

this sounds too weird to be true! the technique sounds simple enough though, i'll give this a shot

 

I like how the acronym for the thread topic is WILD
