Thread: Transition Phase

I am not that much good at formalities or anything so the best I'll just do is to say Hi everybody!

Last night I attempted my 3rd WILD. After much reading through it is generally agreed to be quite difficult to master. Anyway, after following general Instructions, I done the "61 point relaxation" I think it is called. Which sent me, as it felt, into what I could describe as gliding through the air. I assumed this was SP, my body feeling as if it was tied in knots, I tried numerous times to "glide" towards my dream. Here was the problem, Like a bubble ready to burst I was lying, getting rather frustrated It was not working, although I had not even thought it would, I just could not grasp anything past SP. I felt a sort of rocking/vibrating motion, though I still hadnt moved. Eventually I got fed up and fell into a non-lucid dream. Can anyone please explain to me if I have done anything wrong, I rack my brains trying to give anyone enough information, so that I might fare better. Sorry for the long winded post. thank you ~ Smee

Hey Smee And Welcome to the Forum! Don't worry about formality, its all cool here

Well, when WILDing you first go into SP, now when your in SP you don't try entering a dream just yet, first let the vibrations continue whilst staying calm and focused, don't get frustrated because it will ruin your attempt. Just stay calm about it, let the vibrations continue, then you will eventually come into HI which it hynogogic imagery, you will see shapes and hear sounds around you, it may seem scary or abstract at first but it should be normal, then eventually a dream should start to form, you'll know when your nearing the dream, then when you reach the dream state you can start doing as you wish Hope that helped you out.

Thanks for the speedy reply, and your great advice, I'm relatively new to the forums, have been lurking the few past weeks,I have seen this HI before? a cloud of lights, thats what scared the bejeezus out of my a few times, thanks again, peace out ~ Smee

Thats not a problem, yes, what you described sounded just like HI, you'll do fine If you need any more help or have any questions feel free to ask

Hey there,

I'm experimenting with WILDs myself, and I'm by no means an expert on this topic, but I'd say you're probably best of just letting things come naturally. Do they come, then they come. If they don't, that's fine too. Pushing things too much gets you frustrated, which is counterproductive, and probably keeps you from actually falling asleep too.

So for me, I just try WILDS, but without feeling the need to achieve a WILD when I try. I figure every evening I try I become more aware of how my body reacts when I fall asleep, and become more learned about the entire process. And sooner or later it'll happen, but even every night that it doesn't, it's still a partial succes simply because I'm taking another step closer.

Just my 2 sleepycents,

Well, with some great advice I achieved my first WILD, last night although it was rather short, Thanks to Lucid Seeker and Redrivertears. Only I would ask confirmation this short phrase was a dream or SP. "It is pitch black and I cannot see, cannot move, cannot hear anything, in a stupid thought, zombies pop up in my head and I feel Clammy, cold hands, pressing down on me. At the same time I realise that I am dreaming and must have control. I thought of my bedroom and safety and before I open my eyes the sensation is gone and I am standing in a very similar room to my own" Now I had earlier thought this type of SP, if thats what it was, as it felt to me as an awful nightmare, happened when you were lying face up however I always sleep on the side in order,trying never to experience that, so being aware I was dreaming, makes it, a very short Nightmare? or SP? If anyone can shed their experience or some advice, I would say my normal version of SP is a gentle tickling from my , toes and fingertips that "creep" along me. I apologise if any of this is not too clear, just ask if anything needs clarification. I did try to make it as direct as I could ~ Smee
