Thread: WILD - Wake Initiated Lucid Dream

Exactly. I happened to me as well, that I got a WILD or OBE just seconds after "giving up". In other words, when I stopped trying hard and wishing for it. Also, just after changing position.

We have to let it happen on it's own. We do our daytime mental preparation, but at night, we should be passive observers. Let our mind surprise us. To me, a WILD/OBE is like a cat. More you call it to come to you, more reluctant it is to come. But show it "I don't care if you don't come to me" attitude, and it just may jump into your lap the moment you stop paying attention to it.

That is what I did and yes you were right. I woke up suddenly and I didn't move..after a minute or so I started to vibrate..got so excited so it failed..but I fell asleep again.

Bingo! Eliminate the "trying to". "Trying to" sleep, "trying to" WILD, "trying to" DEILD, etc., usually results in just a bunch of "trying" and no sleep/dream/WILD. DEILD is probably the clearest example of this: lightly consider a dream, and just drift off, and all of a sudden, there's the dream, waiting for you!
