I'm fairly new here and didn't realize there are so many dream terms. The wild thing has truck my interest but not excactally sure what it really is. I've read many techniques on how to do this, but really am looking for a definition please. :D

Entering your dream conciously by viewing hypnagognic imagery (passively) and watching as it develops into a full dream, where you enter and are fully lucid.
WakeInducedLucidDream
Put simply; it means going from the awake state, straight into a lucid dream.
That kinda makes people think you go and lay in bed and it's like 'BOOM' lucid dream.Quote:

lol, not exactly it takes a while :D
Yep... from my knowledge and other's experience (though, not my experience... I have very little in the WILD method), it is unwise to attempt WILD the first time you go to sleep... wake up in the middle of the night and it should take considerably less time to enter your dream. IT takes 90 minutes to get into REM the first time, and an hour and a half of laying down not moving and staying awake can seem like days... (20 minutes seems like ages).
Done correctly, thats exactly how it should be. Which is why its so hard, it needs to be perfected for success.Quote:

(ah well, atleast we still agree on the subject of physics. :P )
No, you are quite wrong. You have to observe hypnagognic imagery for a long time and stay concious, slowly entering your lucid dream. You don't just lay down, wait one minute and enter your dream. That is silly.Quote:

WILD works differently for everyone. Not everyone experiences hypnagogic imagery, and some people can do it much quicker than others. Now stop acting like a fucking child.Quote:

Sure, sometimes you may wake up in the middle of the night and go back in your dream quite quickly. But everyone "experiences hypnagognic imagery" if they stay concious long enough, and sure, I don't deny that some people can do it faster than others, but you can't just lie down and enter a dream in a second. I don't see what's "fucking childish" about what I'm saying.
Blatantly, undeniably false. Try doing some research.Quote:

Nothing, but you're bickering like one. I'm done with this thread.Quote:

Everyone has the capability of seeing hypnagogic imagery.
And anyways, I'm just making sure people get the right information :wink:
Yup, and the ones that do it faster and more efficiently are the more experience ones that have the technique near perfect.Quote:

Ataraxis, all i was saying that done correctly with a near perfect technique it would be done as i said. Obviously not to the extent of lying down and wahay your in a lucid dream, but then this isnt what i said, and my simple defenition may have seemed like it would be lay down, and in a few seconds BOOM your in a LD to you. Still, as i say it's a simple defenition and is correct as simple as it may be.
Do you think that viewing hypnagogic imagery is a state? A state of being awake maybe, or a state of being asleep.Its neither, its just something in the process and not everybody see's hypnagogic imagery, even after being conscious for a long amount of time. There-for My defenition of a WILD being:
"Put simply; it means going from the awake state, straight into a lucid dream"
is perfectly fine as it is, and isn't misleading. Its what a WILD is.
Yah, everybody has the capabilty to see hypnagogic imagery but not all do. Now if someone asked for an explanation of the WILD process that'd be where you come in.
I see you'r only trying to help. No worries.
