Allo Moocow, welcome to the forum!
My name is Wolf, and I’ll be your tour guide for this evening.
Next time you get a chance, introduce yourself here.
You’re trying out WILD? Fun technique, my favorite.
My advice is to wait until you’re really tired. Not just a little, but OMG-closing-my-eyes-brings-me-to-Lala-Land-in-a-second tired. Lay down and watch the HI form a scene. Tell yourself you’re dreaming, and vuala- lucid!
You might wake up at first, but just repeat it till you can stay inside it.
Do you have the habit of doing reality checks a lot? It’ll help loads if you do.
Remember: Not all people get it right away. Keep trying and you’ll get it eventually. I wish you luck!
