I have been told that the WILD is the 'holy grail of LD', yet I feel more like I should aim for a WILD before any other.
I have yet to have a lucid dream, although I tried approximately one year ago, keeping a dream journal, etc.
Before entering into NREM the other night, I thought "Oh what the hell", and gave it a shot. My tier to reality was me walking down an endless staircase, and at each step I would countdown from 100. I gradually saw hypnogogic imagery and felt slight vibrations.
I got too excited, "woke up" just before entering sleep paralysis, and then went to sleep, frustrated.

I knew I was entering NREM, thus there was no possibility of me entering a dream, I hadn't prepared myself, etc, yet I easily got to the transition stage. I like WILDs the best because it means instant transition, instant, viewable results.

I have been thinking of combining a WILD and a CAT (WILD CAT), so what do you guys think?
I just finished summer school, am 16, male... and I'd like to be able to WILD before rejoining school in the fall.

Thoughts?
