A growing number of people are sharing their experiences with Wake Back To Bed (WBTB) techniques, especially around WILD (Wake Initiated Lucid Dreaming). Many are curious about the effectiveness of focusing on hypnagogic hallucinations during the process.
Last night, an individual noted difficulties during their sleep practice, specifically focusing on hypnagogic sensations. Encountering these sensations often leads to waking up, disrupting their practice. While the person is consistent in attempting WBTB, random wake-ups pose challenges.
Several commenters weighed in with their thoughts on effective strategies:
Focus: "It takes time and focus to be able to do WILD. The mind is like a muscle."
Meditation Connection: "What I do when I do WILD is usually what I do when meditating."
Guidance: "Be sure to read the Sub Posting Rules it's EXTREMELY likely that your question has been asked before."
Community sentiment reflects a mix of support and caution, with advice emphasizing patience and practice.
"Some people argue that focusing on the hypnagogia may cause distractions, suggesting a breath-focused approach instead."
โฝ "The random awakening is ok, but focus is crucial."
โ Many practice meditation techniques to improve WILD success.
