Thread: WILD at first sleep?

I was thinking this days about the fact when I'm reading a book, before going to sleep. There's a moment when I can't hold it for more time and I let it fall or just hold it there without reading at all, feeling very sleepy. I think there could be a posibility if I let it there without moving in stead of turning off the lights and set more confortable for sleeping. It's just an experiment to see what happens.
It sounds a little bit harmful for the book, but... I would like to give it a try.

I'm not looking for a long WILD session at the beginning, of course, due to the short REM stage. But I think it would be great to start the night that way.

I think I know what you mean Box77 - I get this all the time when I'm reading, watching TV or whatever - that point when you're so tired you can feel yourself falling asleep and you're conscious for the transition. I don't know but when this happens to me I feel it's so possible to slip into a lucid dream (dependant on whether a dream happens to form).

Most of the guidance says WILD after 4 or 5 hours because its easier.
How ever two nights this week I've gone to bed very tired, and woken up
at 12.30 (after an hour, or an hour and a half) remembering a quite vivid dream.

This however is highly unusual.

So short answer would be try it and see.
At the very least its a good chance to practice getting into SP without worrying about
the dreaming bit.

That said, I lost 5 hours trying my 1st failed WILD.

I regularly wake up after an hours sleep and remember a long vivid dream.

I try almost 2 nights a week to get into a SP from the get go.. no such luck for me.
