So then the next step is to just keep my mind aware as my body falls asleep, reconize the HI, use which-ever initiation tech. i choose, and then hopefully i’ll be able to achieve lucidity, am i thinking right so far ?
Ok i learnt about lucid dreaming yesterday and started a DJ and i’ve started to practise WILD just for the hell of it. My dream recall isnt to good yet, the dream i wrote down last night wasnt to long and very vague.
So, its 5:02pm now, and i slept from 12:00pm to 3:00pm and ive been awake since then, i know its a little early to practise WILD because my recall isnt that good.
but my question is, when i try should i be able to see anything at all? i’m still new to the whole thing and this is how ive been ‘practising’ it.
-
i lay down on my back, hands by my side or on my chest (does this matter?)
-
try to relax and close my eyes, looking into blackness (obviously)
but no matter how hard i try i can never go into SP…when i try to move my body i always can… ive read all the guides but it just says to concentrate, concentrate on what exacally?
can somone just give me a brief walkthrew of what your most reliable method is.
I know i can’t expect to go into a full fledged lucid dream straight away, but i don’t think i’m doing it right…
by the way, i don’t know if it matters but all i seem to see are blue… flashes (i don’t even know if this is just the light coming threw the window on my eye lids) i don’t know… but at first its like moving flashes, then they turn blue and eventually all i can see is blue.
this is probably nothing, but i just thought i’d mention it because i didn’t go into SP…
Yeah, from that step all you have to do is to stay aware as much as you can until you feel you are about to reach the dream, a few more seconds were everything is very crazy and then you find yourself in a dream, perfectly aware the you just did WILD so this is a LD
hi guys i was just browsing the internet on lucid dreaming and i bumped into this it certanly catched my eye hope it helps u guys out as well 
Imagine your dream hand (or spirit hand if you prefer) going up and leaving your physical hand behind. Now you should have two separate bodies, a dream one and a real one. Control your dream body only — if you control your real one, you will wake up. Now you can try to roll out of bed into your dream world (alternatively, you can get up and walk through a mirror, or sink into your bed).
now this will really supprise you!
i got it of wikipedia hahahahaha 
This sounds pretty good. Any others?
I like to “peel” myself away from my body(once I am in SP and start hallucinating), then freeze an image in my head of where I want to go, then just reproduce the feeling of walking, that usually will take me there. It’s very important that you:
a. Forget about your physical body completely.
b. Remain calm.
c. When you know where you want to go glue that picture in your mind. Do not let your mind wander anywhere else, focus on the trees, the sidewalk, the buildings, whatever. Just don’t let your thoughts stray.
I’ve been trying WILD for the past few days, as well as WBTB… (though I found out that my mp3 player had trouble playing the alarm file so my alarm never went off, that’s I would rarely wake up lol) So I stay awake for around 10 - 20 minutes counting upwards and trying an RC at a given number. I get to a point were my hands / legs feel dis-attached; like they aren’t there. When I try moving them they they go back to normal. A few moments after that point I find it hard to keep counting because I get distracted by completely random thoughts, but don’t go into SP / into the dream environment. So I either A) move and reset the process or B) loose consciousness.
*Now I can keep concentrated longer and don’t get to anxious than the first time I tried.
Does any one have a similar trouble, or is there something I am doing something wrong? I’ve had one DILD since I started trying LD just over a week ago, and want to try and get in via WILD. Thanks
Ok, I have gotten to sleep paralysis, but what do i do when i reach it? I was nearly there one time but i screwed it up! (i started moving, cause i thought i was in the dream allready) 
Oh yeah my technique is WILD i use it all the time
It seems that every time i am in the border of lucid dreaming i get scared, and i go back to being fully awake again, its just a reaction, my heart rate pulses and i try to keep myself calm but i cant, any advice?
Also Somtimes a find myself going into full sleep in the range of a few seconds when this happens i lose my hearing, and my body is about to go to sleep but the loss of any noise alerts me and i go back to be fulling awake!
It would seem most of my problems are at the border… 
If you had sleep paralysis and you said you started moving, the point of sleep paralysis is… you CANT move.
You probably just layed there for so long that you started to feel numb, and just thought you were paralysed
no that cant be it cause i dont go numb i freken vibrate like my insides are being teared apart. I didnt actually move, though i tried to move.
And you can kinda move! i talked while in SP i could barly mutter anything and i was trying to force my voice to come out, but dont know if that means anything
When I get SP my heart starts to beat like crazy. I often ignore it and try to keep focused on my mind. By this point I’m starting to hear things too but I ignore them as well. I’ve read somewhere on this site that you can imagine yourself falling with your head first to get the SP stronger. Worked fine for me and after 4-5 rounds of SP, I couldn’t feel my body and I entered a dream.
