The key to a WILD is just relaxing and having the intention of falling back to sleep. Move if you want. You just need to be comfortable enough to fall asleep quickly. I suggest attempting a WILD after 5 or 6 hours of sleep |

Hello everybody my name is Jacob Ive recently been researching lucid dreaming and lots on the subject. This forum has been very helpful. I remember awhile back when i was younger I used be able to remember some dreams and even control them up to a point i was pretty decent at it and i loved to dream and have fun. Any ways when i came across dream recall I thought to myself that my dream recall was a lot worst then it used to be. I barely remember dreams and don't even become lucid any more. Then i learned the cause MARIJUANA. I love the stuff i was very upset that one of my favorite things is messing with another. I stopped smoking yesterday as soon as i found out (not forever though) just to see how it would effect my dreams. I tried WILD last night I woke up after six hours of sleep took a couple sips of pepsi stayed up for a little bit and then i tried it I wasn't very sure on what to think about I tried the counting method I noticed that my mind kept wanting to wander from that and it was rather hard concentrating. I eventually gave up when i saw the sun come up I then went to sleep and this morning i was able to recall two dreams i had they weren't very clear and they weren't lucid but I wrote down what i remembered in my dream journal. Tomorrow I am going to try and wake up after 5 hours of sleep not drink Pepsi and see how that goes. Haven't smoked the reefer in two days hopefully WILDing will go better tomorrow. I would like tips what my mind should be doing while i WILD the counting thing seemed to help keep me busy but I'm not sure Any general tips would be nice Also I'm nervous about not keeping still could the slightest movement of the fingers or toes mess it up?THANK YOU |

Thanks eppy i ended up falling asleep during last nights attempt (i wasn't able to sleep well beforehand) I am going to try it in my chair it reclines 30% and its pretty comfortable. I was able to recall a dream last night i wasn't lucid in it, but i am starting to remember more dreams seeing how I'm not smoking that stuff I'm guessing. I miss it though |

Welcome Jacob, I'm new to the forums but I figured I'd give my input - I have been an on-and-off again smoker and for me it DEFINITELY impacts my dream memory. I haven't smoked in a while now, I notice it is easier for me to recall my dreams now that my mind isn't 'clouded.' Becoming lucid is another thing altogether, so I'm working on my dream recall first and incorporating reality checks into my daily life so lucidity will be a natural aspect of dreaming. I have never experienced WILD, just DILD. I'm still learning a lot myself, best of luck to you!! |

I believe I'm just right behind you haven't had a DILD again since i quit but i only just stopped smoking so it needs some time. I have started doing reality checks through out the day and I'm even writing my dreams down. Thanks your post made me feel better |
