Thread: Naiya's DILD & WILD Secrets

When you say you do it by will, is it also using the WILD technique, or pretty much anytime you set your intention to have one?

If you master DILD, WILD or both, then yes you will be able to LD almost every single time to try.

WILD is a little bit more tricky because even if you master it, that doesn't necessarily mean that you can lay down any time of day or night and WILD 100% of the time. You are still constrained by your body--so mastering WILD also means knowing what your personal best times & conditions are for success and executing that.

For DILD, the same is true but to a much lesser extent. For example, I can't normally DILD in the first 3-4 hours of sleep, because my REM periods are very short and my body spends more time in deeper sleep. But anytime after that point, I can DILD at will now--my biggest block is just being lazy and going "nah I just wanna sleep, I'll LD next time."

Many thanks for your tutorial, Naiya

I have a peripheral question to this: You mention meditation in your tut - do you have any recommendations for starting this, a good book or website for a total newbie to begin with?
I'd like to give this a try since I feel that my often cluttered mind and carrousel of thoughts are a hindrance for progressing with my attempts at lucid dreaming at the moment.

Thanks in advance
