Just had my first experience with WILD yesterday, though I didn’t get an LD. I moved too early and found myself waking up, when I thought I was moving my dream body (I got to the point after your body gets sort of a shock-feeling). Then, I tried to relax again (it was only 4am and I needed to get up at 8) to try this technique, but I wasn’t tired anymore all of a sudden. Couldn’t sleep at all anymore, perhaps it was part excitement (the experience of the WILD kept me up, I think).
But this sounds like a very reliable method, going by all the responses in this thread. I’ll try this the next few days and I’ll see what happens. I have yet to have an intentional LD. So far I’ve only had 3 DILDs where I just sort of “knew” I was dreaming, but none of those lasted more than 10-15 seconds. The last one was a success for the most part but I forgot I was Lucid and went with the flow of the dream again soon after.
