thank you! this technique helped me a lot! i didn't have a real WILD, but i've had my firsts lucid dreams, and i'm starting to control it, because of this this community help! Thank you Yoshi, and Thank You DREAMVIEWS! my sleep nights will never be the same! thanks a lot!
Thanks for the good advices. But I have another question: When I wake up at 4.00 am I'm really tired. Do I have to do the relaxing technique anyway, or can I just skip that?
So I practiced this and got my dream recall to around two a day, and one day I tried this again in the morning just for the sake of trying. Boom, four seconds max I was in a dream, too bad it only lasted a few seconds :lol:
Anyway, thanks for the technique!!
Hi King Yoshi,
Thank you for your input and the dry spell killer technique! Killed.
You can just skip it. With WBTBs, you can usually just skip the relaxation technique. You just came out of sleep so you should already be sufficiently relaxed. This is primarily used for day time naps or a long WBTB (if you spend a long time awake during your WBTB).Quote:

Nah, I didn't really base it off any specific technique really. I'm not familiar with the the "super-conscious" theory, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were similarities. Basically, all that Dry Spell Killer is, is a MILD technique. Used to help increase your chances of lucidity by aiding memory and using confidence. I'll have to take a look at the "super-conscious" theory for sure.
It's basically just applying complete confidence in your mind to work out any problem you may have or want to solve. By not thinking about a problem and relying on your subconscious (With 100% confidence) to fix it, your subconscious will find the answer for you as it works non stop applying any new data you receive while gaining experience and knowledge to the equation. One example is when you are trying to remember a song's name or the artist but you never figure out the answer at that time, then later it pops into your head randomly while you weren't even thinking about it. I guess it's close to synchronicity or relates to it, but i guess everything relates to it :P
Hey. Another question: Every time I wake up in the morning, I barely remember waking up 4 am, even if I know I did. But I cant remember what I did after that! Is it easier to get into SP if I'm a little awake first? Or is it better to be nearly sleeping?
Thank you! :]
Haven't been able to recall my dreams in quite some time, but this guide helped me recall last night's!
Ah, yeah they are extremely similar. That is some neat stuff right there. It breaks down exactly how it works. Nice!Quote:

The idea is to stay awake (during a WBTB) long enough to where you won't just crash out and lose consciousness, but short enough to where you will still be able to fall asleep rather quickly. You may only need to stay awake a few extra minutes.Quote:

I've had some progress. Got home from school this afternoon and decided to nap, lay on my bed listening to isochronic tones, pretty soon I started feeling the familiar signs of HI. This time I got further than ever before, In the 'peripheral' vision of my mind's eye I had the impression of scenes, I heard voices, sometimes I could fully see these scenes, I even hear music.
Trouble is that as these intensified, a muscle would jerk (my jaw snapped together once) or I would swallow automatically and the HH would vanish. Is this normal? Is the HH supposed to come and go?
Hmm, do you find yourself laying awake for a long time with no results, or are you crashing out and losing consciousness. SP starts once your begins to fall asleep. If you aren't able to get yourself to sleep, you can try some reverse blinking to aid the process. You also will want to have an anchor to help keep your mind conscious. I casually observe the darkness for my anchor, but there are loads of things you can try out.Quote:

The twitches/jerks likely didn't cause the HH to fade. It was most likely your attention to these twitches/jerks that caused it. If something like this happens, just don't worry or even think about it. Just continue and allow your body to twitch/jerk all it wants. It may take some getting used to in order to ignore these type of things, but just keep practicing. You are getting very close and I can almost smell the success rolling in :D! Congrats on your progress and just keep at it!Quote:

Also, how exactly does reverse blinking work? I mean, I know what it is, but how exactly should I go about it, and for how long? Again, thanks for all the useful info/advice. :)
Make sure you keep your eyelids relaxed while performing reverse blinking. Gently and quickly flick them open and then closed again. Don't slam them open and shut, just reverse blink in the same manner of a normal blink. After a bit, your eyelids will start to become heavy and the only way to continue to reverse blink, is to really force them open. This is the point in which you stop reverse blinking.
No problem at all, always glad to help out :D!
Excellent guide, Yoshi. I've just thoroughly read through it and I'll be attempting to WILD using your technique this Monday for my month-long log, which will be posted on the forums.
Thank you very much and I wish the best of luck to you! Remember to stay confident and expect to succeed :D!
I'm back! Been staying in "The Lounge" for a long time. I think ADA isn't for me so i'll just stick with the good 'ol classic WILD. Though I can't perform WILD cause I just moved to this house near a noisy highway. Plus I'm sleeping with my brother at the same bed. He kicks like crazy when his asleep. I think I'll just have to til I have a chance to WILD.
Ah, welcome back :D! Yeah, like any technique, ADA isn't for everyone. Always practice whatever it is you are most comfortable with. You could use the noisy highway as an anchor when you are attempting your WILD, though the kicking brother would likely mess up your attempt :P. Maybe you can try to take some naps during the day for WILDing.
Chrashing out... Every morning I barely remember waking up 4 am! The only thing I remember is that I turn off the alarm, lay down, thinking that this time I will make it, and then.. black! Cant remember anything after that! this have happened almost every night for a week now! Do you have some anchors I could try out? Observing darkness didtn work...Quote:

Ah, you should try to stay up just a little bit longer during your WBTB attempt. This will hopefully, allow you to hang on a bit longer so SP can set in before you completely crash out.
ADA is my DILD method/tutorial. Here is a link if you would like to take a look at it, All Day Awareness Tutorial
I've been working with this off and on for the last couple of weeks and for the first time last night i was able to rest in the SP for about an hour and a half. At times i could see the world start to form but as soon as i noticed it, BAM they would be gone.
I'm encouraged though, because i'm closer than ever before.
Awesome. Just keep practicing and try stay neutral throughout the whole experience. Act as if nothing strange is happening, even as the dream scene starts to form around you. Just wait it out and try to keep casual.
