      Angry So Damn Close

      Man I was soooo close to attianing my first lucid dream. I was in SP for sure because it felt like my whole body was frozen and and all my muscles felt clinched, as well as feeling like my whole body was vibrating and spinning. It did this for a bit then stopped. And I lay there in SP for about 15mins until a couple dormmates threw a bag of Dotritos at my door and started laughing outside my door, which I could hear through my earplugs for some reason.... FML

      Hmm...look on the bright side, you acquired a bag of doritos during the process, lol. Just look at this as a learning experience. Next time, you will know what to expect out of SP and hopefully your roommates won't distract you. Or, if worse comes to worst, maybe next time they will throw some cooler ranch! Oh yeah!

      Build a wooden box that fits over your bed, and have the inside lined with noise canceling foam. Oh, and you'll need an oxygen tank in there with you so you can breathe.

      +1

      the oxygen is really critical to sustained use of a device such as this.

      No really try to WILD at night if you can. They shouldn't be tossing chips then

      sorry to hijack your post but I got a question
      is it possible to WILD at night?
      Everything I have read tells me to WILD during a nap or with WBTB but it would be so much more convenient to WILD at night. Is it very hard to achieve, any tips.

      A WBTB is usually at night. You just can't WILD before bed. And believe me I tried. Out of around 100 attempts before bed I had one extremely short lucid dream.

      Sorry if I confused you. I'm new to people using the term WBTB as much as I see lately.

      EDIT: 900th post yay

      People usually sleep at night, lolz.

      So when people WBTB they usually do it after sleeping several hours, then they go back to bed. If you want more information and tips about it, head on over to Yoshi's WILD tut in the Attaining Lucidity section. He's probably answered all of your questions in that thread by now.

      edit: ninja'd by zebrah, also congrat on 9,000 posts. **Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?!!**

      I'd suggest trying to learn it through WBTB first, because going at it fully awake is pretty hard, like Zebrah said. Have you ever WILD'd before successfully?

      Good idea, I think DILDs are much easier to do

      That must be annoying though, missing a lucid and dropping Doritos on the floor.
      You might wanna clean that up lol.
