How long did it take you to WILD?

**SephTheG** · 10-07-2011 12:09 PM

Today is my first actual night trying WBTB in order to induce WILD, I woke up having about 5-6 hours of sleep then decided to go back to sleep and I couldn't seem to turn my mind off so I just thought forget it I'll just fall asleep naturally then in the middle of it I start feeling vibrations but didn't get past this step.

How many attempts has it taken you folks before you've been able to successfully WILD?

I think it took me a good two months or so. The time it takes just depends on your motivation and where you were, in terms of ability to relax/stay still, before you learned about WILD.

It is hard for me to say. I approached it in a roundabout way. I always had spontaneous sleep paralysis that would lead to lucid dreams. I also did a lot of meditation. The two sort of intersected at some point, where I learned I could meditate into that familiar state that could lead me to lucid dreams.

I started getting them more when i gave up trying so hard. After 2 months of straight trying hard almots every day, I relaxed with the attempts and sure enough, one time when I least expected it to occur, it happened, and for the next coup;le of weeks I had WILD's or almost WILD's (meaning I got to the point of vibrations and transition but failed there). Now its been about a coup;e weeks since I've truly WILD'ed, pretty sad actually

WILDs have always been elusive to me, mainly because I spend a lot of time experimenting than really perfecting a perfect method. I'm currently logging experiments in a journal that I hope to one day make into a PDF document for people to take my research and use it for their own training purposes. LDing is a really scattered ability, as everyone is different. So by gathering the most suggested techniques, supplements, etc and testing reactions it might help people gauge what's best for their own success.

My first WILDs were accidental; I didn't know what they were at the time. I had SP several times a week in my teens and I figured out that WILD was one way to get out of the annoying SP I hated so much.

I got it after two weeks of trying! WOOT!

I followed CrazyInsane's CANWILD tutorial last week and got a very vivid lucid dream that following week (probably an OBE because everything was just freaking vivid). Still using his technique, just have to sleep for 5-6 hours instead of 4-5 hours xP

This week I entered sleep paralysis, I saw all these images, one of them was a imp looking creature and they all disappeared. I feel myself getting up on some green brown floor, but I opened my eyes instead of letting the dream come to me. Was the most amazing 10-15 second rush I ever had with SP.

My first lucid dream was an accidental WILD.. good ol' alcohol

Well I was trying to WILD on and off for about a year, and honestly can't remember when I really got into it. I would say a good two months (most likely longer) in order to have a successful WILD. It usually doesn't take that long for most people, though. You just need to stick to it and stay confident! Good luck

For me, about 6 - 7 days - but please don't fall into the trap where you're comparing your progress in relation to others. Lucid dreaming is a journey of inward discovery and self exploration. It can be a very personal thing because you're learning about your body, your mind and sleep cycles. Lucid dreaming, in my opinion, is simply a by-product reward of this inward journey. So enjoy getting to know yourself from the inside out.
