Thread: Yoshi's WILD Technique...

Well first I found that trying to do this made me completely forget to wake the first time so I remembered nothing. On the second night I managed to wake but then I found after laying still for a while I entered what felt like SP but I had no hallucinations and after a few seconds it just went and I felt very awake. I'll keep practising and hopefully soon I will have some success.

EDIT: Just read that dull swirling colours are a common HI, I saw these during the period I felt I was in SP but as I see them fairly often I never thought of them as early signs of SP.

One question I do have is when you wake up are you supposed to lay still and try it without waking up much at all or are you supposed to get out of bed for a min or so?

This depends on the dreamer. You want to be awake/alert enough that you won't just crash out and lose consciousness, but you also don't want to be too alert (hard to fall asleep/trigger SP). You will just have to experiment with the times yourself. If you find you are losing consciousness while attempting to WILD...stay up a bit longer before attempting. If you find it is hard to get SP to set in and fall back to sleep, try it sooner after waking.
