well what this does it it makes your brain stay alert until your body is asleep and then when you move you move your dream body putting you into a lucid dream right away its not so much to help you fall asleep as it is to help you transfer into a dream from a waking state
Sounds really a cool technique!
I’'ll try this tonight while WILDing, remember- that task is to Dream not to WILD.
Ooober.
c-wild. Is where your body falls asleep however keeps your mind active by counting. After 20-30 seconds (if you do this with WBTB) when your mind tells your dream body to open its eyes your body has to either wake up to the real world or create its own world. So sometimes the later will happen and you will lucid dream.
Well,I think this will actually work for me! 
The thing is,every time I try traditional WILD,I can’t fall asleep conciously,I always end up lying for nothing and then rolling over because I get bored.I think this technique will work the best for people who can’t fall asleep conciously so easy.
You actually do this: You count the first time,your body gets asleep to a point,then stops.Then you open your eyes,do an RC,and go back to counting again.Now,every time you repeat that,your body falls asleep more and more.And it will culminate to the point of having a dream 
I’ll do it this way,in the first attempt,I’ll count my breaths to a point where I feel I can’t get further,and then I’ll open eyes,do RC,and then get back.I’ll do that two,three times,and then I’ll start counting later,cause it’ll get hard staying concious,I think. So,I’ll try it out tonight,and post if it succeded
It kinda worked, I mean…It helped me to fall asleep aware, but I had a lot of parts unaware(before dreaming), thanks for this technique
This techinque was how I got my first WILD!
I thought I could never fall asleep while counting in my head, and when I reached 50 or so after a few tries I felt as awake as ever, but suddenly I got that feeling - “knowingness”. I didn’t even had to do an RC, I knew straight away that I were dreaming, there were no transition at all, the dream came just like THAT. It was amazing!
Grix that sounds AMAZING! Sounds like it felt like you just “changed realities” xD did it last long?
Wow someone suggested this to me in a post I made, and it looks like it would work for me I have found after 1 night (Don’t lol 
) that WBTB makes me have very vivid dreams, so maybe combined with this I can get my first LD I tried counting before I went to bed, and I kept drifting in and out of consciousness because I wasn’t very tired, maybe using it with WBTB will do the trick!
Sounds good, great post!
I think I’m going to try this tonight! Sounds very interesting.
Last night was actually my first attempt at and LD and I used a technique I heard from a friend where you lay in bed without moving and telling yourself you will have a lucid dream. I started to feel numb and that I was floating. I also saw an eye blinking (my eyes were closed) and also some kind of grass. Then I heard a dog barking loudly and I got scared so I woke up and decided to just go to sleep normally. Was I close to an LD? And should I do that method again tonight? Or try the counting one?
infinity software? do you have to buy it? idk HELP!
I’ve been having problems with this technique.
Everytime I wake up and go back to bed again (which tends to happen a lot thanks to my overly optimistic morning alarm clock sets XD) I try counting, which I manage rather well.
However…
The problem is that I always fall asleep “normally”;
I always count to 100, then realize I’m still awake, then count again, fail again, and at the third or fourth try, I start losing count a lot - then I start feeling like I’m awake and asleep at the same time (in other words, I feel physically awake but I also have a feeling I’m having really vague dreams).
Is this a good sign?
And if yes, how am I supposed to step into the dream?
It feels like trying to step into a movie or something.
moved into the existing topic otherwise we would have two topics on the same thing 
I know what a WILD is, but what is a C-WILD?
Also, how do you do it?
One question - do you do a relaxation excercise before the countdown?
You know, the one where you contract and relax your muscles along with your breathing.
If I try to stay conscious by counting, then I just lay there counting for an hour and simply don’t fall asleep. This aint my type of method.
I might give it a shot, though counting has never worked for me. I have woken up and just closed my eyes, waited until I feel funny then wake up in a dream.
wow. I did this unintentionally before I’ve heard of this technique. I woke up and tried to do a WILD but was bored so I started counting. I think I got to 500 and just gave up. I got out of bed and did an RC and I was lucid.
This is how I got my first lucid dream. 
It’s hard to succeed though, because I usually find myself feeling all groggy and then I fall asleep and get a normal dream. 
But at least I did it once. 
Well done 
The techniques works for someone else apart from me.
How was the dream, was it vivid?
I actually tried this yesterday when I went to bed. I counted to 500 slowly while laying perfectly still. I felt that my body got a little bit “electric” but nothing more and I decided to just go to sleep normaly. BUT I actually dreamt a very vivid dream.
I wrote down some key words in my phone and then about 6 hours later I wrote down the whole dream in my DJ.
Anyways I’m gonna try this again tonight, but after a WBTB!
I’ll post the results tomorrow 
Well it was more vivid than your average dream; something like this.
I realized it was a dream when I was looking through the kitchen window and noticed everything looked completely different outside - the reason I could think logically in the first place was because I thought I was awake and in the middle of practising dreamsigns.
Then I was a tad disappointed when I couldn’t get any dreamsigns to work, and after that I woke up. 
I would say it was probably low lucidity. 
Not high enough to make me realize all the possibilities and everything I could do, but high enough to make me come to the conclusion “hey, this is a dream”. 
This was my first lucid dream in over a decade though, so I just have to try again.
