Well I was very much motivated to write this. It’s not quantum physics or astronomy or some other branch of science. WILD is nothing more but falling asleep properly.
Now this is going to be very much from my own experience so I’m not saying that’s going to work for you but you can take this as advice and suggestion. Don’t be like dB_FTS said that’s going to work if I do this. No, I’m saying my story now and you can learn from it or not, your choice. And some things are going to be scientifically proved/based and that’s actually it.
Everything I’m going to write here has been already said, but it looks to me like its needed to be said one more time…
Ok, lets start it. We are lucid dreamers or we want to became one. So we need to dream in order to have lucid dreams. So if we want to dream we need to sleep. Now I’m suggesting on REM sleep and only REM sleep. “But dB_FTS, there are dreams in NREM sleep too”. Exactly, but for the sake of this post lets concentrate on REM sleep dreams only. Why? Because most of the remembered dreams happen in REM sleep so lets keep it that way…
That’s pretty much it. Like I said it’s very simple:
Bed time > falling asleep > dream > lucid dream
Now, you may think, but how is this working. From my experience it’s very simple and not complicated at all. I believe that many dreamers that are trying WILD and writing all the time about SP experiences are so much close to actually succeed in WILD but they are not aware of that.
So we have scenario where a dreamer tries to achieve WILD. Let’s suppose he’s doing it with WBTB[I feel like I don’t need to explain this. If needed read general WILD guides]. He’s lying in bed half an hour or an hour or even 2. Nothing happens. At some point he feels numbness, heaviness, vibrations, floating and sinking sensation but after that, that’s basically it. Then he is frustrated and he just let go and he falls asleep in few seconds.
The mistake that one is making here is he’s attention to lying in bed waiting for something to happened or waiting for the dream to form from nothing, not letting his body and mind to fall asleep. Like I said, you need to fall asleep in order to dream. So when one let’s everything go he falls asleep very easily…
So the dreamer needs to learn how to fall asleep consciously, or better say to observe himself falling asleep with awareness but still let himself to fall asleep at the end. When to do this? The best way is to let things go naturally. Experimentation is the key as giving yourself the time… From my experience the best way is when you start feel body sensations like: floating, vibrating, heaviness and such.
This may be hard at the beginning but like everything else, it takes practice.
Some dreamers may rely on HH. They may experience the dream forming around them and then, they are suddenly in a dream. From my theory they did fall asleep somewhere on the way, they just weren’t aware of that. So by actually letting yourself asleep and not waiting for dream form by itself you are simplifying things very much…
Now you may ask: dB_FTS if you are such a smart ass why don’t you count much more lucid dreams then it’s in your profile description?!
dB_FTS: Well, because as every technique this one requires time, dedication and practice too, so even if I know things or at least think I know, still I need to practice as much as you, so I have same obstacles as you. DR, stress, work, school, LIFE and such things.
This is just my way of doing WILD. It may or may not work for you. Feel free to use this as information or don’t use it. It’s on you. I only hope I helped someone with this post…
Good luck to everyone! 
I for one believe that beginners are mostly thinking too much about WILD.
