[WILD] How to enter the dream?

Hello, I am new to the forums. I have had several LDs before, all of them induced with RC.

Two nights ago, I decided to try WILD, so that I could simply fall into a dream. Instead, I fell into a state of hypnosis. I stayed in this state for about an hour, looking at my alarm clock. I was very giddy and laughing sometimes because of the absurdity of what was going on.

However, I could not enter the dream! After about a half hour of trying, I simply decided to roll myself over (very difficult) and go to sleep. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for entering a dream like this. I tried opening an imaginary door, and other things, but everytime I would just go to black. I have tried to do this two more times over the past two days, none of them successful, but none as powerful as the first time either.

Should I just stick with the feeling for as long as it takes?

that’s really awesome that you can go into an interactive visual state like that.

i would definitely stick with it, it’s almost entirely at the dream state!

If you are seeing images that aren’t from RL then you are very close. At this point all you have to do is project yourself into this imagery gently. In addition if you have SP you can simply roll out of your body.

maybe, try the VILD tech. :wink:
