I just thought I would post this to see if anyone else does something similar.

This is the way I can reliably get into a WILD. I have been doing it for years, even before I knew what the word 'lucid' even meant.

It isn't easy but here it is:

1. Clearly state in my head that a WILD is my objective.

2. Then relax for a few seconds and start:

3. With my eyes shut I stare into the blacknes and try to imagine different colours. Don't try to find them in the blackness, just keep imagining them and they will get clearer and clearer.

4. Then, once the colours are quite strong, imagine a scene (e.g. a snowy forest). Keep imagining this scene, first from arial view and then from the view of someone in the scene. Change the scene every now and again.

5. From now on DO NOT CHANGE SCENES! Stick with the one which is clearest. Now imagine some movement in the scenes, (e.g. a horse and carriage).

6. Now imagine some people. Just doing something in the background. If you are not in first-person-view already slowly move into it now.

7. Now, just watch the scene in your mind. The image should get clearer and clearer the more detail you think about.

8. Now have a good look around the scene, move about and look at everything.

9. Now the image should be really strong. If it is not then keep imagining this scene. Do not lose it and it will only be able to get stronger. This is by far the longest stage. So long as you keep this level of detail, you will not fail.

10. If you kept repeating step 9. you should now be lucid.
