Does anyone here ever induce WILD by doing the One Body Technique that is described in EWLD? It says that when you become paralyzed, you simply imagine yourself in any place and any position other than sleeping in your bed, and you will be there. I understand how this works, it’s just that I never hear about anyone here trying it. If somoene could tell me that it does work well, I’d appreciate it, because I don’t want to get far enough to try it and it ends up not working. I think this technique would be very cool.
I tried it several times from a real sp and that worked fine.

I have been trying to VILD (not WILD) for the past 4 days and I think it might help doing VILD when one is trying to WILD. My VILD attempts haven’t been successful but I have been getting HI or HH every night i have tried VILD. It seems like a good way to keep the mind active while falling asleep. The only problem seems to be that I fall asleep a few sec after getting HI. Btw I have been doing this when I go to sleep.
ahhhh! I think i’m getting closer! last night i felt my body vibrating and i felt like i was falling way behind from my body, like my mind was going backwards or something. Im gonna try again tonight!

I don’t usually use the one body technique but I did it the other night.
I went to sleep at my bed time using my normal WILD technique but, unfortunately I fell into unconscious sleep. I woke up a few hours later and then used WILD again. Only this time I was not getting much in the way of HI so I just kept letting myself relax more and more eventually I started to feel like my body was being pulled down to the foot of my bed. The next thing I knew I was standing in my room next to my bed. At first I thought it did not work and was very disappointed. But then I realized that something was not right. Then I knew I was dreaming. I did a quick RC to confirm it. I had 3 LD’s in a row.
back before i even knew about lucid dreaming i had the ability to create a falling sensation whenever i wanted, even without a prior 5 hour sleep. with this falling sensation, i was able to make my body feel absolutely nothing and as i got further, i reached SP. i remember being completely numb and not even being able to open my eyes or moving my limbs. at first, i thought it was cool, but soon i was frightened that it’d never end (though i was aware it could do me no harm). later when i finally knew about lucid dreaming, i tried to use this technique to perform a WILD but by this time, i couldnt. i must’ve lost my ability to do it or if i did, i’d easily let its sensation slip.
Elektro, i can relate to the rushing sound you hear. i’ve had the same thing happen to me when i attempted a couple WILD’s. this rushing sound would get louder and louder and at some point it would literally hurt your ears. im sure this feeling’s just something that’s created by your mind but it cant be avoided, even if you try to forget it.
Congratulations Milod, that’s awesome! I’m still working on my 3rd WILD…not there yet…!

Good to hear from you. Thank you. Looks like my dry spell is turning around.
Good luck on your dreaming.
PS: I am not geting any more topic notification e-mails. Is anyone else having this problem?
yea, i’m having the same problem
I had a strange experience last night- I first achieved lucidity through DILD, the quickly awoke; however, i’m not sure whether I actually awoke or had an FA. In either case, without opening my eyes I quickly tried to WILD, and it worked in seconds! I felt the vibrations then loud noises and suddenly I felt very strange, so I got out of bed, did a reality check, and found I was dreaming… I think that the WILD was while I was dreaming, but I can never distinquish between dreams and that period immidiately after waking.
I had a WILD last night as well! It was my third WILD ever. 
From what Iv’e read, usually, WILD is combined with a short awakening after a few hours sleep making it easeir to get back to SP and REM. So perhaps that’s why you had such little problem achieving it. (I know Milod says he can WILD when first going to bed, but I have not been able to achieve this thus far.) I also wake up after about 5 hrs sleep, and then immediatly try to WILD. It worked last night 
BTW - Since my last post I have had several short DILDs. However, for me, there is no comparision between the clarity of a WILD and a DILD. The quality of lucidity has been much greater for me with WILD.
Best to all…

From what you describe I would say you had a true WILD. I have had WILD S that worked that way. I wake up in the middle of the night and go immediately back to sleep using a WILD technique. Most likely your body was in a naturally deep state of relaxation that allowed you to quickly enter the dream state. A lot of people who use the WBTB method will stay up for ½ hour to an hour, but that never worked for me. I find that if I wake up in the middle of the night and want to try to WILD again I would go right back to sleep as quickly as possible. You can read my post above about my most recent experience with this.
Congratulations on your LD.
Happy dreaming.

Great to hear about your success. I am now starting to find that WBTB to be easer as well. Only like I said above, I do not stay up for any length of time. If I naturally wake in the middle of the night, I go immediately back to sleep. This has increased my LD ‘s. I still do WILD’s at bed time and it is harder and longer because you have to go from full waking state to very deep relaxation. I use a combination of self-hypnosis and WILD to help me achieve this. I am not always successful but my goal is to learn to LD completely at will.
What does WBTB mean? Also what does SP mean? Thanks 
This may be, however I am not sure whether I woke up at all. As I said, I had had a DILD and then woke up, but I am not sure whether this was a FA or not. How can I be sure? Does it make a difference?
