I try really hard to stay conscious, and after about 30 minutes, I started to see this green/black colors it was really cool, but that’s not the point. I was trying to enter the dream world, but then after, it turns pitch black, then I keep trying to enter the dream world, and still nothing. Then I guess I drifted off.
I always get the weird colors, then pitch black, and then I usually drift off. How close was I to WILDing?
Well. I haven’t tried WILD:ing yet, but I believe you are entering the Hypnagogic State, where you start to see single shapes and things which eventually transform into more complex shapes and then creating a dream.
I think you should wait and relax a bit more before you start to focus into the colours / images. But I’m only speaking from what I have heard and read.
I’ve just had a couple WILDs, and I’m not sure exactly how I did it… But I think the trick is not to try and enter the dream world right away… Just pay attention to whatever you see, colors, shapes or even scenes… Do this passivley. I mean, don’t try to interact or force the image or colors to stay or get sharper or whatever… just let them come and go, and keep watching! They will get stronger some time… Eventually you’ll just get a feeling, I think, that you can enter the dream…
