I’ve been trying again. Tried last night and the night before, but I was so tired I just fell asleep again. I’ve been trying to boost my confidence lately, too.
But I think I have an idea that may help me. This morning I was dozing for a minute or two at at time so I woud feel less tired. Anyway, I was inadvertantly visualizing drawing something and it was sort of a daydream. It’s simple to visualize since I only need to think of paper, a pencil, and the drawing part. It easily turned into a daydream, so I think I’ll try it tonight.
Ok, last night I did the 15-min meditatition tech (2nd time I’ve tried). I went to bed, took a few deep breaths and tried to conjure up some HI. I got some vague HI, not much to speak of, but after a while I got the familiar jerky and falling sensations. This time, however, I noticed a numbness in my stomach. I took a few deep breaths, relaxed, and then WHAM! It was like getting an electric shock. My whole body was full of a strange “tingling” sensation, and I think this must have been SP. Unfortunately, I got so exited my heart started racing and I snapped out of it. After that I was so tired I just went to sleep.
Was I close? And what should I have done different?
I wish everyone lucidity! Yeah Wilde sounds like you reached SP! Just go with the flow until you enter a dream. Saffer, you have experienced the back up of the UF-WILD sounds like the MILD part of UF-WILD helped you there. Good luck Karuni!!
I have changed the first and second meditation. For the first you will repeat “I succeed in everything I do” For the second repeat “I will lucid dream tonight”
I haven’t really been attempting this because I haven’t been too sure on when to do the meditating. Since then, I’ve seen something similar to your method on Star Trek and now I think I get it.
I had an LD (little to no control, though) last night, but it wasn’t due to the UF-WILD, it was MILD (was just trying it out while doing another WILD attempt). I fell asleep again during the WILD part. I’ll be sure to try the meditation updates tonight, though! I don’t feel as tired tonight, I think.
Yeah I hate it when that happens, the trick is to keep your mind away, and not to shift your attention. After a while you will start to chatch yourself when your mind drifts, your mind drifts a lot, and this can be a problem. Try to stay awake! Even though you are going to sleep…
Everybody read this!
I have found an extremly powerfull way to make UF-WILD work, it caused me unlike any method that Iv’e tried very good HI and very fast SP (in just 5 minutes).
Prepare for UF-WILD like you ussualy do, it important that after the meditation you will turn the light on for couple of mintues (if you want to write in that time it ok, as long as there will be light), then turn it off and lie in bed, breath 10 times to relax and close your eyes but instead of imagine stuff right away first try to look at the shapes and colors or even the smallest dots, whatever you can see on the “black curtain” caused by you closed eyelids, and try to follow on the objects, this will make you go very fast to the proper REM mode, if you did it right (it very simple and starts very fast, about a minute) your brain will start to draw images (it HI) on the “curtain” and you will feel your eyes moving very fast (the indication of REM), from there just flow and then start to imagine scenes, you will find it a lot easier now, you will get SP very quickly, and from that step just keep the normal UF-WILD directions.
I tried exshade’s suggestion last night. I don’t know if I had SP or not, but while I was laying there my feet were numb and a little weird and my body felt like it was pulsing pretty fast like my heart or something, but it didn’t feel like my heart.
And during this I was half watching my closed eyelids and visualizing. An image from a video game I’ve been playing a lot was in my mind and then it became real before my eyes. It was pretty clear, but seeing it shocked me awake. I got it to happen again with the same image, but it went away again.
Was that close? If maybe I can not freak out when I see it maybe it’ll become a dream?
and I snapped out of it. After that I was so tired I just went to sleep.
