Thread: A New Way To WILD???

I'm sure all of us have experienced that early morning dream chaining. By early morning I mean about an hour before we have to get up. This works best when you don't have to be anywhere, so that is a Sunday for me!

I went to bed at 12. I had to get up at 8 30.

So from about 7 onwards I was dream chaining. Having a little dream, waking up for a few seconds to check the clock, then falling back asleep.

At 8: 20 - I rolled back over. Suddenly I could hear music in my ears. SP came and went might quickly (about 3-5 seconds). I could see a veiled, moving image in the dark in front of my eyes. Unfortunately I lost consciouness at this point, and entered a Non-Lucid dream.

Has anyone else experienced something like this, and is it possibly a good method for newbies? Waking up at 5: 30 can result in people expecting it too much, this is a little more natural. Perhaps just for a first time (as the dreams won't be too long) until you get the hang of it.

Thanks

I'd say that's your standard WILD"ish", only lacking a conscious focus as you lie there re-entering sleep. For it to be a true WILD, you'd have to have gone into an LD from there, rather than a non-lucid dream.

I know very well what you mean though. I was doing the same thing you're talking about way before I knew anything about LDing. I used it to exercise dream control by planning my next step and then re-entering the dream. I was always non-lucid in those days too.

It sounds a bit like DIELD to me.
