    01/21/2017 WILD I had a lot of trouble being motivated to do a formal WILD with all the tricks. I tried normal wbtb WILDs and by morning had 3 fails. Wonderful H.I. like being a rainbow energy angel flying through a tunnel. They honestly were H.I. more than a true dream. Final attempt I decided to do all the stuff in my formal routine and finally hit one. I was suddenly standing in a park down town in a city with tall buildings. My goal: Fly out into space and then into a black hole. I took off flying like Superman. Bam, I go from ground to sky scraper top in a flat second. Now my control failed me a bit. Up, up and away, out into space. No, the scenery just keeps adding in taller sky scrapers. Eventually I stop and look around. I am not that high off the ground, perhaps 400'. Time for new tactics. I will teleport out into space and then fly from there. I tell myself that there is a space station up there, and it has a subway restaurant on the promenade. I picture being in front of that subway on the space station. The visuals shift and I am over the antarctic ocean. There are icebergs and huge cartoon penguin. I decide to earn some quick points. I summon a surfboard made of ice. I fly down to it very very fast and hit the board with my feet. I shoot off across the ocean on basically a jet powered ice surfboard. I decide to do some elemental control. I look back knowing a huge wave will be shooting off the wake of the board. There it is, a beautiful spray of sea water. I decide to freeze it. The wave stops moving and turns white. I decide I am not impressed, and focus more on it. It turns into a beautiful ice wave complete with the shine and wet look. Time to teleport out to the Space Station. Visuals blur and reform. I am in front of a subway restaurant in what looks like a very modern shiny city. Cars are going by. I refuse to accept this is not the space station. I know that if I cross the street and look over that guard rail I will see space. I cross the street. Dream becomes unstable and I try to save it. No, I am largely awake now. I have slept too many hours to sleep more.

      The jet powered ice surfboard sounded like a blast! I find myself doing half-hearted wild attempts more often than not. If you get the chance, what are the basic components of your formal routine?

      So just highlights, wake up after 7 hours give or take. I lay on my back with the shoals of my feet touching. I relax and picture the kind of adventure I would like. I stop thinking as much as I can. I repeat something simple like counting slowly in my head. This stops you mind from wandering as much. The try to relax just repeating the numbers, but not focusing then, just relax and get closer to sleep, avoid side thought. Before long you feel groggy and you are frequently for get ting the number,in fact never worryy, if you have to think it breaks the pattern. Start one at one and try to relax almost to sleep. So let's say you are there totally on the edge of sleep. Now you erase the body form the feet up. Become aware of you toes. Trace a spiral around them using you mind's eye. Keep counting so you will think less. Trace mentally around your feet,ankles,calves,knees and on like that. This goes clear to the head. If you can still feel much of your body, do it two more times, keep it sleepy and slow. Imagine that when you mind moves upward the lower body parts should be ignore, we want you body asleep. So you succeed in loosing focus on your body and should be heavy. Your body will scream for you to lay on your side. You must not, yet. Now laying on your back in a very close to sleep stage. +++it helps to read my lesson on visualization+++ you use visualization to move your dream arm not waking arms. So all in your head you experience some odd stuff use the two visualized arms to grab a rope ladder. The just reach up and go through the motion of ladder climbing, your brain should give a sense of touch so the hand end up sort of feeling the ladder.You are half asleep. Your body wishes you would turn over. You are climbing an imaginary ladder. Do not focus on you true body, let it go you do no need it for dreaming. I usually climb until I am disconnected enough to bring dream body feet int it. I then imagine climbing until dream weirdness happens. One example the was a platform kept me from going up and I had to climb around it.You are now actually mostly asleep but aware. Now the next time your body tells you to roll on your side, you do it. Repeat'this is a dream' very casually and fall asleep. Stay as aware as you can but not enough to prevent sleep. That is one reason for the repeated words. Sleep, dream, remember the words, "this is a lucid dream." Good luck. It is way more complex, but gets much better results.

      Awesome! Thank you for the run down Sivason! I will plan on trying this a number of times. I'm guessing the first few times I may forget a step or two.
