So Ive come across a few posts saying I should wake between REM cycles to do a WILD with success but I got the impression it was possible from any state of conscienceness? When I first tried it I got close enough to an LD that all I had to do was enter the dream, so to speak, and that was from a wide awake state.
My question is this, simply does/ should one be in between REM cycles to WILD successfully?
