I have frequent WILDs, & my question is, when you WILD, do your dreams always start where you fell asleep? Its rather routine for me, and I was wondering if it is the same for everyone. I go through the SP, the images, the noises, and I am simply in my room, but reality checks allow me to determine I am in a dream state. I get out of bed, walk out of my house (always in the dark of nght). They ALWAYS begin with me getting out of bed, leaving my house, and either walking or flying to other destinations. Do you have a place where your WILDS always begin?
it is possible to start your wild at any place, you can try to project your consciousness into one of the images. besides when youre dreaming you can change everything you want in an instance so what does it matter… just paint a door saying portal and while entering it imagine where you want to be.
It depends on how I WILD. When I WILD through HI it isn’t like that at all; because the HI forms random dreamscapes it can start anywhere at anyplace. However, I often WILD where I let my body fall asleep and then getp up “out of my body”. At this point it always starts in my room and usually at night.
when you get up and out of our body in this method, can you see yourself lying on the bed?
Honestly, I’ve never looked back at my bed. I’ll have to keep that in mind. And what then…If I’m there or not there? I think I’d freak if I saw myself laying there. But I think I see what you’re getting at…that topic scares me a little (obe)
I wish I could dream myself into another place, at least daytime. I am getting sick of dreaming of walking or flying through my ownneighborhood in the dark with no one to really interact with. And everything seems to take place in real time. I can’t fly fast enough to go anywhere interesting! I’ll try the “portal” next time, although my dream-control skills have diminished some.
If everything happens in real time and theres no one to interact with at night and its dark and you can not control the environment than you probably are having an OBE although I highly doubt you had one and not noticed it, try looking at your bed.
Cant you change the circumstances at all?
When I get out of my body and look back I’d say eight times out of ten my body is lying on the bed. However, I always have control of the environment and it isn’t neccesarily night, though it frequently is.
obviously a dream…
kmds experience sounds different, he is talking about wondering off in what appears to be real time, without anyone to communicate in the street because its late at night…
It is likely that kmd is also dreaming and simply thinking about this reality therefore creating it, but maybe he is having an OBE :o
The only time I’ve ever done a WILD was unintentionally…I was having really difficulty sleeping that night.
No SP, no HI, I was just suddenly aware that my daydreams were, well, it’s difficult to describe but they felt stable and I could feel everything… I was fully conscious and could feel my surroundings become more and more stable, I made sure that it was an LD and not just a really weird Daydream by going around and feeling lots of different textures and flying to check whether I got the same sensations…
It was an LD. It’s difficult in a sense that everybody gets it differently, because there is no standard benchmark that applies to everyone.
the daydreams are the HI. What happened was probably that your body fell asleep but your you had trouble putting your mind to sleep and it just kept wondering to itself until your thoughts became more more from the SC and more more concrete until it formed a complete dream.
How would I notice an OBE as opposed to a LD?
I wouldn’t say I have NO control, or NO interaction - its just that my ability to control my LD’s on a whole have been sufferring as of late. I really feel these are LDs as opposed to an OBE becasue of the present, although limiting, ability to control & interact. I’ll try some new things next time!
Firstly, you will probably have 360 degrees vision if it was an OBE, but that isnt for sure.
anyway, next time this happens to you, try going to a place you know, if it is 3-4 am then maybe to a pub or something and check things out, see if the things you are observing look real and are not from your own mind, try communicating with people, if you are in an OBE you will not succeed unless the person is clairvoyant.
Been off the boards for a while, I go through cycles with my LD experiences. i find them a burden, so I stop, then miss them & try to get them back. Last night was my first WILD in a long time, but I still have not mastered getting out of my own neighborhood! I’ve tried some new things here & there, but none were too successful. Once, I tried to wake my husband up, who was sleeping beside me while I wild’d into a dream - that quickly turned into a nightmare. Itried to will myself to another place before opening my front door, only to find my dark yard. I’ll keep trying! guess for now, I’m back in the game.
When I WILD, the few times I have, I seem to always begin in a place that has deep emotional ties-- my childhood neighborhood, for one, where I don’t live anymore. Sometimes when I try to visualize a dreamscape to walk into, my old neighborhood keeps imposing itself in the middle distance. It’s as if that’s where I left my ‘center’.
I notice an OBE by it always beginning in the room I was meditating/sleeping in. 
But FA’s always do that, too, so…
I go more by these violent sensations (“vibrations”, thumping, rushing, winds, noises…) that accompany the separation phase of an OBE-- but, I’ve heard from more experienced OBE’rs that these sensation quiet with each successive OBE. There’s also a difficulty with walking in an OBE for me. But, once all these are smoothed over by practice… I guess, they’re as good as the same thing until we witness something that you can confirm later happened exactly as we shouldn’t have been able to witness it happening otherwise. No other reason to be scared of OBE’s. 
What helped me teleport in dreams when otherwise a scene change would fail or spiral into the nightmare, is ponder why the psyche had a need to construct this particular situation: what does the night represent? What does your home represent? Why is there nobody to talk to-- what does that represent?
If the answers don’t come, I guessed the mind would agree that it’s just a sort of meaningless day residue… because just a thought of where I wanted to be got me there or someplace like it. On the other hand, if there does seem to be something to it, I appear to be looped or stuck in that setting.
