ok, so as most of you know, sleep has 5 stages. stages 1 and 2 are light sleep, 3 and 4 are deep sleep, and 5 is REM. the entire cycle repeats about every 90 minutes and REM is the last 20. apparently people dream in all 5 stages, but dreams are most vivid during REM. so, WILD involves just stepping directly into a dream from a waking state. let's take a look at the implications:

does this mean that WILDs will be inherently less vivid than DILDs, due to not being in REM?

or does it mean that doing a WILD causes REM to occur immediately?

does WILD just completely screw up your sleep stages, because you're dreaming when you're not supposed to be?

i know there's almost no research that's been done into this area but i'd like to see what you guys think about it.
