Thread: ParadigmShift WILD method

i pretty much like your idea of imagining yourself moving around the bed and so on. Also as it helps induce an SP. Can you tell me how to induce a LD dream from the SP state??

i would needly like to know since i can induce myself into SP easily and just wander what to do in order to enter an LD from there. pls help

thnx

I think you're just supposed to wait a bit while in SP. I know that when I was in it for my first and only time so far I didn't wait long enough and I opened my "dream eyes" too soon. I still couldn't move my body but I was looking into my dream.

I will try it tonight

whats the % on how often this will work

The percent probably doesn't even matter because everyone is different..so even if it's 100% for him it could be 1% for you

Wow this is the best new spin on WILD that I've seen in ages.

Ingenious honestly. Instead of using fleeting mental imagery or mental auditory noises you use the bodies sense of touch.
Theoretically this should serve a double purpose: it gets you through the transitional phase and grounds you in your new reality all in one go!


Very very nice, I congratulate you in discovering this (its so obvious now :p)

Honestly everyone I'm not kidding. This is the method to try (I'm doing this tonight )
(Some people may need to adjust the time stayed up before starting the technique though)

I agree with BillyBob and the others. I believe I'll be trying this as well.

Does the sliding sensation count if it feels like you're sliding down almost through your bed rather than across?

I usually wait around 30s to 1min because I tend to fall back asleep quickly. The trick is--don't try to transition into it (or force it). Your body should be sleepy enough so that the technique will work as you fall back asleep. If it doesn't, you need to wait longer.

OK keep in mind--with this technique I don't visually imagine myself moving on my bed. It's all tactile. I've found that for this technique, going from SP to LD is very easy because it bridges real life with dream state. You are aware of real life (lying down in bed) but also of the dream realm (dragging sensation means you're in SP and nearing LD). All you have to do to fully achieve LD is continue your involvement in the dream realm (keep controlling the drag sensation), and when you have enough control, open your eyes. It will feel like a false awakening (it has every time for me).

hope that answered it.

I'm very experienced with this technique so for me it's worked almost every night. The thing is, I know what to expect, I have the gist of it. I feel LDs are very personal and everyone's different. Could be a dud for you, or it could be your holy grail but for me it's near 100% and around 70% when I started.
