Thread: Yoshi's WILD Technique...

oh my..
It .....WORKED!!
thanks KingYoshi! thank you for this method! it worked to some extent, I will tell you what happened:

awakened at 7.00 AM, I woke up, went to the bathroom, and came back to the bed.
Waited minutes until I was awaken enough to not fall asleep trying, and started counting facing upwards.Counted to 37...but...
I was full of itches, so I stopped counting, I sat, and waited a minute until I was ready again. Then, started counting facing upwards..
reached 100, and changed my position to facing to the right...counted to 27...I was a bit umcomfortable, I changed my position again facing upwards...until I reached 100(I have to say that I even scratched, yawn, and even swallow without problems, without moving a lot of course, just relaxed)...changed my position again facing to my left...at this point, I just stopped counting because I was bit tired...my mind was about to start to wander..until something happened...
I started to hear some weird sound, like the sound of silence(It's my personal sign of WILD)(when you are in a place without sounds, and you can feel the tinitus, and another sound, this other sound is like when you cover your ears...) but more intensified, I felt this sound all over my body, and also didn't feel the sheet of my bed, nor hot or cold.
I knew that something was happening, I knew that I was entering to SP or LD directly...
but, I was afraid! afraid of the unkown, afraid of this new experience, because for the first time, I was experiencing it with all of my awareness..so I moved, and it stopped.
Calculating, I found that the experienced happened in like 316(Counted to this number) that is like 25 minutes...and it's extremely good!
I'm not sad about not having a LD...because at least, this fear I felt is going to dissapear with more experiences..come on...this was the first time eh? ok...thank you KingYoshi!
I would like to say these good points about this experience:
-I moved, not a lot, but I moved in the process
-It's important to journal our WILD tries, because a WILD is very personal, different for everyone, and there is not a tutorial for everyone.
-It happened in only 25 minutes, compared to not moving at all in 1,2 hours!!

ok, that's all!!!!!!!!
going to try again tonight...gosh! I'm so happy, now I feel like WILD is easy, and I will start to accomplish it easily!

Thanks, this method is realy good!
As for the position changing i think it works because of hypnotic fractuation(not sure on the spelling), which means that if you enter a trance then exit it then enter a trance again, the next trance will be deeper then the last.

Thank you, I remebered a dream the next morning after trying this. I rarely remember dreams, one every 3 months. When doing a RC do i get out of my bed and stand up? or do you mean something differnt?

Glad it seems to be working for some of you guys!

Once you have transitioned into the dream state (or if you think you have transitioned) go ahead and perform a RC to check. If you can't move, you more than likely haven't completed the transition.

Hi!

I looked through this thread and had a weird experience I wanted to share, so I had to register .

I remember having lucid dreams as a kid, but I haven't tried getting one before now. I'm now 17 and thought I should try to attain lucidity in a dream. I've not tried any of the other techniques on this forum, and I thought what the heck, lets try. So I tried this a few minutes ago. I layed down in my bed.

(Had been at work all day, and had spent a couple of hours relaxing, browsing forums, so I felt that my head was pretty relaxed).

I flexed my muscles, and relaxed. After it had maybe gone like 5-7 minutes I thought i heared like this pretty low sound, and thought, "what is that". But before I got to think more about it, I felt really heavy, it felt a bit harder to breathe, but that wasn't really a problem, and I got really clam (warm). And all of that happend in very few seconds. Then my eyes started flicking side to side like this:

(-> ->)(<-<-), or like this: (-> <-)(<-->). Again and again, all the time. And they went like this really fast, so that it felt like they were almost shaking shaking.

Then after laying like this for maybe 20 seconds (Didn't really count, but it wasn't for very long), I managed to swallow (not very clever, was it?), and the feeling started to fade, and then it bursted back up again. I then swallowed again, and as the feeling faded again, I sat up in my bed, and opened my eyes.

I had never been like this before, so I didn't really know what to feel, but it felt a bit frightning, but at the same time i felt relaxed, despite it felt like I bathed in sweat (Funny thing, I don't feel sweaty now. Was it just in my head?).

So...
Does this describe what the SP should have been like. Really hope so, because it would have been fun to experience a lucid dream again, after all these years.

same here!...
hey I was just lookin around youtube and foun this vid... thought it was interesting... Imma try this one too! along with the yoshi thing...

Oh and BTW... this one is about OOBE's... but don't start arguing about it!! just take out the technique to get into sleep paralysis...

incondite - Yeah that definately sounds like SP. Congrats on your progress, now all you have to work on is transitioning to the dream state.

SP has gone from being really uncomfortable to being really nice.

Hey sorry im new but what is SP? This technique you speak of really interests me. What are the hallutionations you were typing about? Sorry about the questions

A quick list of more common abbreviations.

I got this technique working last night! After turning 2 times, i quickly fell into SP. I actually didnt feel the SP but i suddenly heard loud scratching-banging sounds. So i just sat myself up and did a RC and it worked.

KingYoshi is the man!

I use a bit different technique when it comes to enter the SP.

Firstly, when I'm fully relaxed (after waking in the middle of the night) i just lay in bed still. No movement at all. When the time comes that I want to move, to change my position, I simply "try" moving my whole body, as if I was swallowed up by quicksand, or buried under lots of stone/ covered by stones/ petrified. You know what I mean: "I cannot move, but I want to move"
I do this for several seconds. Sometimes I repeat it.

Then my body gets really heavy (tingling co-occurs), i feel like a press came down on my body.....and that's simply it. SP
More over, when I shift my attention to a certain part of my body e.g. legs, they twitch.

It works for me just fine. I found it out several nights ago.

ive been trying this technique but failing. but i have never WILDed before and i wish to succeed with this technique. KingYoshi u mentioned using reverse blinking combined with this technique, but when would u use the reverse blinking? you relax, do the flex freeze, then reverse blink and change position when uncomfortable and keep doing both of those until reaching SP? And what do you have on your mind? You count? Random thoughts? Tell yourself when i reach 100 i will enter a lucid dream? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

I occasionally use reverse blinking after the flex freeze. It just adds a bit of extra relaxation when I'm less tired then normal. I let my mind wonder and just allow thoughts to pass in and out of mind. This allows me to enter SP much quicker than counting/etc, but it can also make it easier to fall asleep unaware. Just make sure you keep in mind what you are trying to do (perform a WILD). Good luck and I hope this works out for you.

thanks for the tip. ive been trying but continuously failing. either i cant fall asleep at all and get damn pissed off for being awake for 3 hours without rest in the middle of my rest or i just fall asleep in the attempt. i will keep trying and i hope to get better results. i think ive had 2 false LDs, but maybe they were real LDs but i slept too long afterwards and cant remember well enough. Anyway wish me luck il keep trying.

Good luck in your future attempts and remember, the whole idea with the WILD process IS to fall asleep. Basically, you are just falling asleep while conscious. Make sure you don't keep yourself awake, thus preventing a successful attempt. Allow yourself to fall asleep, just try and witness this process (stay aware). Good luck to everyone.

I'm going to try this sometime soon, and hopefully will get the hang of it. I've heard WILDing is very difficult, so I'm going to go into this with a positive attitude, and read up on it a bit more before trying it out. I'll use your method, since it sounds very relaxing and doable.

It worked for me! Had my first Wild with your technique and it was suprisingly easy.
I didn't see any HI, i just basicly laid there and after a while a strange feeling came over me, i felt sort of an energy pulsing trough me and then i flew head-first in a dream.

Awesome! Glad the technique was able to work for you.

Before trying this technique my problem used to be that it would take me too long to reach SP. But using this, I fall asleep before I know what hit me I guess that's a step in the right direction. Gonna keep trying with this. Thanks alot for sharing this KingYoshi =)

How do you guys know when to "move into" the dream? I always lie still and wait for that first "rush" of SP to fade away, and try an RC a few minutes afterwards. Always turns out that i'm awake.

Thanks for the guide!

Can you explain how you combined the reverse blinking with this technique? I'm still working on my first WILD and thought it might be helpful to me when I go to try this technique.

If you want to combine this technique with Reverse Blinking, you would perform this between steps 2 and steps 3. I'm going to add a step 2.5 into the description for reverse blinking.

Going to try this tonight!

Ive tried the "lay still thing" and gone 45 minutes without ANYTHING happening, so the rolling to a new position idea sounds great.
