Trying WBTB right now

Hello there!

At this very moment im doing a WBTB and since i always have problems to motivate myself to really get up and think about LDing I wanted to start a new topic: A Place for everybody who is doing WBTB right now ^^ Well not right now but at the time you are actually doing it… you get the idea. We could share experiences, write about the dreams we just had (in a short text) and read all the entries from fellow people who voluntarily cut their sleepingtime :tongue: Just to stay motivated and to really get your head into the mood of dreaming… (the searches I did told me there arent any topics like this, but i might as well be mistaken)

I should start:
Well, im doing WBTB just now and this is the first time 3 months. I was heavily stressed by my exams so i really couldnt get myself motivated to wake up that early. Now, still having one exam left but nevertheless having enough time, i wanted to start again and here am I: I just had breakfast. I dont feel too dizzy anymore and i might come into this very special condition of having a r4laxed body and a somewhat awake mind, but i still have to struggle a bit.

One dream i had was about about myself and 3 freidns of mine travelling. We went down a mountain that might be in switzerland. We sort of got lost and asked a guy about the way to LA and he told us something about turning left after some river. Then we met another old classmate woh was travelling to another city.
Also i had my first dream ever in which I wasnt actually existing as a character! I was just watching the show, like watching television. It was about two guy, one old, one not so old, and a blonde woman that wanted to move into the same house but i cant remember the details.

well, thats it for me folks! Im looking forward to read your stuff!

haha, what shall I say? It works! I had my first LD ever :woo: ! I
My WILD attempt failed miserably but I sort of MILDed: I dreamed i was waking up and got out of bed when I realized I was dreaming. I somehow got overwhelmed and nearly woke up again but I could stay in the dream. It was a short dream after all and my level of lucidity was very low (it felt more like dreaming to have a lucid dream, I really didnt have control but the idea i was dreaming), dropping firther every minute, but it was an awsome experience! I even managed to look into a mirror :content:

Hope to read from your adventures soon!

hey im wbtbing right now and im really tired so yep

WBTB is almost a guaranteed way to achieve LD, for me is only a few dreams ND’s.
Its a great method :happy:

I use this method just about every night! (although not on purpose) My husband works 2nd shift, I’d typically get a good 4 or 5 hours of sleep in before I wake up when he comes home. I (mostly) always get up to say hello, since I rarley see him. up for 15-20 minutes, then I’m back to bed. My WILDs have been out of control for the past few months - wasn’t until I came upon this board and learned what WBTB was that I realized why! (for that matter, I had no idea what WILD was - never meant to do it “on purpose”. I was just able to finally put a name to what was happening!)

Excellent, very nice to hear your having good results, WBTB really helps make WILD easier because it gets you to a point where you fall straight into REM sleep instead of having to go through the deep stages of NREM first.

ive been trying WBTB for a while but its not doing much good

new day new try…

I cant remember my dreams so far, only a few faces from the dreams. in a couple of minutes I’ll give WILD another try.

Great to hear from your experiences! :smile:
keep 'em coming!

Trying WBTB right now, I wonder if I’ll LD? :smile:

I’m on my last two minutes of awakening so here we go!

I’m trying it right now too. I don’t remember my dreams from just a bit ago, it seemed more like random stream-of-consciousness imagery to the music I heard from my downstairs neighbor. After a nice hot shower, I’m watching the sunset chilling on the forum and thinking about the adventures to come! :razz:
