Hi Sageous. Thanks for your advice. That really helps. From your post I got that REM and SP are not necessary to WILD. But is REM a necessary stage of LDreaming or normal dreaming? Yesterday I re-entered the same dream 3 times but I forgot to engage my senses in the dream and it was just a normal dream (the same dream though). What I've found out is that the 2nd time when I woke up from the dream it was 8.30am; and I re entered the dream. Then when I woke up it was 10.00am. So does that mean you can incube a re entry just when you wake up but the dream itself actually happens in REM stages (around 90 min later)? Is this what you mean with

Besides, I have the same experience with hypnagogia: I have hynagogia (with auditory and visual hallucination) just after I go to bed (so not even in REM stage).

I'm not too obsessed with REM stages but I'm trying to figure out if your mind can actually prepare the dream ahead of schedule. That would terrific.

Thanks for your input.
