Thread: i need help with the wild method

Just go back to whatever technique you were using and got interrupted since you know that it works better than any of the others.

You already know that you can get to "seeing water and vibrating", just keep that in mind so that you can stay positive.

Also most people say that it is better/easier to start out with DILDs, so instead of focusing too much on just WILDing you might want to try DILDing (everyone has a technique that is best for them, and maybe you are more of a DILD type of guy)

Thank you, WinRic, for mentioning that there are indeed other methods to attain lucidity than WILD. I have not yet figured out why the WILD technique is so popular among the folks on this forum, especially because it is much harder to do than DILD. DILD needs only some memory practice during the day and well-set intentions before sleep. WILD requires deep concentration, a strong command of your own awareness, and ultimately the ability to stay awake while going to sleep, which ain't easy. Why everyone wants to do it here is beyond me... maybe because it has a cooler name?

That said, I've successfully used WILD many hundreds of time (it works best with WBTB or napping, BTW), and have almost never had these vibrations and hallucinations that are so often discussed -- I just carry my awareness straight into a dream. So Willkerr, don't worry about it if you don't hear or see anything particularly special on your way "in." If you're still "awake" when your dream starts up, all is well!
