Have YOU successfully entered a lucid dream through the FRONT door 🚪 instead of sneaking in through the back? Have you tried and came close? Share your personal experiences with WILD's and what they were like. This will greatly help the community members who are still trying to achieve this feat. Make sure to share any relevant information to help your fellow dreamers, like...
1) if you experienced any bodily sensations,
2) experienced any hypnagogic hallucinations,
3) how many hours of sleep you had before your attempt, and
4) why you think your attempt succeeded or failed, and so on.
Since I know dreams are personal, you don't need to share the dream itself if you don't want to. If you do however, I'm sure we would love to hear it!
1) As I'm approaching the transition, I get increasingly strong vibrations that almost feel like muscle spasms? Then I'll get a feeling of pressure on my chest and after this I know I've made the transition and I can just get up and find myself in the dream version of my bedroom...
2) I don't really get HI when I do DEILD (my go-to method), but when attempting a classic WILD I'll get fleeting dream scenes that eventually turn into full immersive experiences.
3) I do 5 hours sleep, then 30 mins staying awake. This seems to be an optimal time for me. Then I'll go back to sleep but with the intention to DEILD on each subsequent awakening.
4) Success usually depends on how dedicated and strong my intention is to perform DEILD techniques when waking from a dream.
