What's Better For Me- Wild Or Dild?

The best lucid dream induction method for you is likely the DILD, or Dream-Induced-Lucid-Dream, either by using reality checks and dream signs, external devices, or the MILD technique. This type of lucid dream is one in which you go to sleep normally, but train yourself during the day so that during your dreams, you are more aware and question the things around you to determine if you are dreaming or not. Click HERE to find out which DILD induction technique is best for you.Pros: You do not have to lose sleep trying to WILD. You will simply go to sleep normally at night and be able to lucid dream. You will not be experiencing Sleep Paralysis as a result of this technique, and it is ok if you do not experience HH. You simply have to become familiar with your own dreams. Finding yourself lucid during dreams means you may find yourself in very interesting circumstances and locations, which can be explored. You can still DEILD, and WBTBs are helpful but not necessary.Cons: You MUST either be diligent in your reality checking AND your dream journaling, or your development of prospective memory. If you do not keep a dream journal, your overall recall will be low and you will not be able to identify dreamsigns (which make lucid dreaming significantly easier). If you do not practice prospective memory, MILD will be nearly impossible. If you do not reality check, or do not take your reality checks seriously, then you will not focus on them in your dreams and use them to realize you are dreaming.

The best lucid dream induction method for you is likely the WILD, or Wake-Induced-Lucid-Dream. A WILD is a lucid dream that happens when the dreamer allows their body to fall asleep, but is able to keep their mind awake and aware so that a dream forms without any loss of consciousness. The WILD method lets you to enter straight into a lucid dream. Having isolated sleep paralysis frequently can make WILDing easier, so if this happens to you you should learn to turn your SP into a WILD. WILD may also be easier in the early morning after a night of sleep, or during an afternoon nap. Types of WILD induction techniques to consider are the Twin-Bodies or One-Body techniques, the Hypnagogic Imagery Technique(HIT), the VILD technique, or the DEILD technique.Pros: Doesn't require keeping a dream journal. No need to reality check to attain lucidity, just to confirm it if needed. Dream signs are irrelevant. Ability to lucid dream 'at will'. Utilizes natural SP to learn to lucid dream.Cons: Can have a steep learning curve, especially if you do not suffer from ISP. Sleep may be lost as you lay in bed attempting to WILD. Experiences of SP can be frightening if you are not adequately read up on the topic. DEILD technique may cause you to forget earlier dreams. WBTBs and brief awakenings must be used to attempt to induce lucid dream multiple times in one night.
