    ### - cool comment (and plug) from this established LDing dude running his
    own large group on FB heh :)

    Kristopher Kelley 5 November at 21:00:

    I'm going to post a link to Brian Aherne's book in regards to the WILD
    method. I've read the book and it's great for learning this method. He
    also has some interesting idea's in regards to Dreaming which are worth
    reading as well. I don't 'promote' peoples work lightly, yet this WILD
    book and method is so fast and simple, as well as cutting through all the
    crap one must attempt to do with others methods, I feel I need to mention
    it here. Buy the book. Do the work. Dream. It's really that simple.

    The WILD Way to Lucid Dreaming

    Book Review (14th Nov 2018)

    First up this book was gift as I requested a copy, so I could read, and
    review and my dreaming experience is over a lifetime. I am familiar with
    the concept and practice of WILD so feel I am in a good position to
    evaluate the purpose of this work.

    The book starts with the author introducing himself and outlining his
    progress, challenges and ultimately success with this type of lucid dream
    entry and is written in an easy flowing style that makes it a great read.
    On from this it follows with some history and background on lucid
    dreaming that builds and eases the reader into the meat of the book and
    the way to enter a lucid dream.

    The section on WILD techniques is the main theme of the work and is well written, from personal experience also accurate in what it is describing,
    and the ways outlined to attempt this are valid so it’s a great guide on
    how to WILD and with perseverance there is no reason why a person would
    not succeed at some point if they persist.

    I would recommend the work for the section on WILD and what it contains as
    it presented in a nice way and a useful way that can be followed for a way
    to enter lucid dreams.

    Crazy stuff Brian, got your book, read up to the point where you say
    that's "the whole Cannoli!" (so basically the introduction to the WILD
    life:), went to bed.... Woke up at 03:33 (we had full moon too) to pee...
    And thought hey let's put this to test, BAM had 3 short lucids (too
    excited) and like 5 false awakenings :D

    It was so powerful that I just couldn't believe it that's why I thought multiple times, no way that this is happening.

    Thank you! I will go on with the training for sure! I was so excited
    everytime that I woke up pretty fast, but I've a damn good sleep mask
    (which probably caused the false awakings too, but it helps) and I had to
    RC through my nose a few times just to be sure, because I still had the
    mask on the other side :)

    ***

    smile, well i think we're well-beyond the point of proof of concept by now?

    WILDing obviously works! and 'is' an available reality to just about
    anyone who wants to try it!

    dilding works too but unfortunately keeps it all in the closet! it doesn't inspire like WILDing does!

    it doesn't 'enable' like WILDs!

    hehehe they're all gabbing about WILDs & WILDing on fb now lol; yeah i
    tried it and it works! me too!

    and with quite profound perceptual experiences available almost (as above)
    from the start, no wonder?

    i mean, one could literally wait 'years' for a decent dild to come along,
    and here in only a few short days shit's already really happening! good
    shit! :)

    hmm that's some good shit! lol

    239 books sold to date, 14 so far in nov... rave reviews!

    ### - lol well here's a real laff...

    apparently, they closed this dude's youtube account merely for uploading
    this vid and promoting it online??

    so much for free speech eh?

    so ok, he sings my praises (and that of my book) a bit maybe too much, but
    the message is a good one re WILDs being better than dilds, it's also
    correct! and i think quite valid!

    but well ya know, peeps must've actually complained to youtube about it
    instead of just confining their nasty comments to the comments section as
    per usual? sheesh! (really laffing...)

    poor old charlie is perforce quite upset about it and is appealing it, and quite justifiably so imho

    and just goes to show what horrible petty little shits peeps can really be sometimes?

    i don't think it was 'that' offensive really + i've seen far worse that
    didn't get banned??

    his basic message being that WILDs are really the 'only' technique for
    lucid dreaming out there, all the rest being an 'indirect' route to lucid dreaming as opposed to a direct one (which is completely true!)

    and for 'that' they got him silenced??

    the guy is just speaking the truth in his own way & style and as he sees
    it obviously inspired by his own experience with WILDs and the
    ramifications of people being 'able' to enter into lucid dreaming in a
    more direct fashion, he merely lays it all out in his own rather dramatic
    style & manner but the dildooo's of this world got upset and, as usual,
    have to resort to dirty tricks in order to get their own way? to shut it
    down!

    it's something the jeremy's of this world do rather than debating the
    issue, a debate they'll lose every time due to WILDs being the 'only' way
    to 'deliberately' induce a lucid dream!

    but ya can't stop what's coming peeps! WILDs really 'are' the business
    when it comes to lucid dreaming! it's a powerful message! and eventually
    the jeremy's of this world will just have to go eat shit about it and lump
    it! because it's correct!

    i mean, is it 'really' so bad that WILDs are better than dilds when it
    comes to lucid dreaming??

    you'd imagine peeps would be grateful for a better method, and so far most
    of them are! WILDs 'are' indeed gaining in popularity across most of the forums! undeniably then it's a far better + ultimately more reliable
    method than any other! isn't that a good thing?

    you'd have thought so anyway, i certainly do + many-many others are also
    coming around to thinking so too... personally, i hope he wins his appeal
    and his account is quickly reinstated, and the *jeremys* of this world can
    go fuck themselves! duh! :D

    so here make up your own mind folks! does it really deserve to be...
    banned??

    ### - haha just seen this reply to jeremy's rather negative comments on amazon.com reviewing my book?

    i.e.:

    (note - I don't know Brian; just joined his FB group a week ago and just
    read his book, so this is purely my own view). I think the thing the
    reviewer [jeremy] most crucially missed, and which is the rather radical
    and rich contribution that Brian has made, is that his explanation of WILD
    is not just a simple "technique. " I did research teaching WILD to 12
    folks, and used all the available information on techniques back in 1991.
    I've kept track of descriptions of WILD available on the net, and I have
    never, ever, seen anything so comprehensive. It's really downplaying the profundity and "new-ness" of this practice to simply call it a "method."

    Brian describes, in a comprehensive way I haven't seen before, so many dimensions of what happens as you relax, shift into a state where you're
    open to hypnagogic imagery, and gives you very precise instructions on
    what to do with the imagery - something I've never found anywhere and only
    at times have discovered by accident. having nobody to encourage me, I've
    only had occasional success with WILD, but since reading his book, I've
    already had one success (just about an hour ago, which perhaps is why I'm
    so thrilled with it!).

    ***

    well in yer face jeremy! ;) haha...

    (slider smiles broadly, a bright 'hero-flash' pings from his teeth as he
    stands there looking handsome...)

    lol :D :D :D

    plus there's some other, rather disparaging, comments towards your review
    on there too jer...

    the 'majority' apparently just don't agree with you!

    (one dude even gives him a really 'long' lecture lol...)

    that said, i did nevertheless cherry-pick a tiny 'part' of your longer
    review for my website-reviews list, that was perhaps more
    relevant/pertinent:

    "DW. Amazon US Customer 7th May 2016 - Paperback Edition
    The author does make clear that the major advantage of WILD is the ability
    to do lucid dreaming virtually at will, and to remain aware throughout the entire process, and that is truly an advantage."

    so cheers at least for 'that' bit anyways jeremy :)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my5TIZiwomQ
    (nice album too...)

    that one was for moi and this one's for you, same album:

    A fun video on double speak and censorship
    https://youtu.be/MECcIJW67-M

    Here in the states you must identify yourself
    as a mob justice ready, living godhead lawgiver,
    punisher of the filthy satanic nazi masses
    in order not to be censored. Time to update your profile
    if you want to avoid censorship.
    Trust me dude "Wallyworld" needs a new iconic term,
    or maybe not. It's getting weirder by the hour.

    Book Reviews & Endorsements

    5-Stars - I was so impressed by The WILD Way to Lucid Dreaming, by Slider.
    Mary C.Blowers - Lucidity Publishing For 'Readers Favourites' 12 Janurary
    2017:

    I have been interested in lucid dreaming for quite some time and this is
    the only method that gave me any success. I was able to reach the first
    goal the very first time I tried, and the second time I tried I was
    sitting at my desk and flipped into a lucid dream and almost fell off my
    chair. It’s recommended to try this only while lying down.

    Lucid dreaming is realizing in a dream that you’re dreaming, an awareness
    of what’s happening. Think of the film, “Inception” as that is what they were experimenting with. Lucid dreaming sounds like a lot of fun, but it
    also has some practical uses. Have you ever wanted to fly in a dream? You
    can with lucid dreaming. Once you are in a lucid dream, just intend or
    think about what you want to do or where you want to go, and it happens.

    This is the best book I have read so far on this subject. I’ve mentioned
    that I had success with it already. WILD is an acronym for Waking Induced
    Lucid Dreaming, as opposed to DILD or Dreaming Induced Lucid Dreaming.
    Many or most of the other lucid dreaming books out there require you to go
    to sleep, and then pick up clues you have been conditioning yourself with
    to realize that you are dreaming. For instance, some dreamers say to look
    at your hands. If you are dreaming, they may not look normal and you will hopefully realize that. They may appear to be deformed or disappear as you
    look at them. Sounds frightening, but there is no danger with the WILD
    method. Slider has truly achieved a landmark and everyone with any
    interest should pick up a copy of The WILD Way to Lucid Dreaming.

    The WILD Way to Lucid Dreaming - Book Review by Peter Maich: 14th Nov 2018

    First up, this book was a gift as I requested a copy so I could read and
    review it. My own dreaming experience is over a lifetime so I am familiar
    with the concept and practice of WILD and so feel I am in a good position
    to evaluate the purpose of this work.

    The book starts with the author introducing himself and outlining his
    progress, the challenges involved, and his ultimate success with this type
    of lucid dream entry, and is written in an easy flowing style that makes
    it a great read. On from this it follows with some history and background
    on lucid dreaming that builds and eases the reader into the meat of the
    book and the WILD way to enter into a lucid dream.

    The section on the WILD techniques is the main theme of the work and is
    well written. From personal experience it's also accurate in what it is describing and the way outlined to attempt this is valid, so it’s a great guide on how to WILD. With perseverance there is no reason why a person
    would not succeed at some point if they persist with the technique.

    I would recommend the work for the section on WILD and what it contains as
    it's presented in a nice way, and is a useful method that can be followed
    as a means to enter into a lucid dreaming state.

    Kristopher Kelley: On Facebook's Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection, Out of
    Body Experience, Astral Travel Group: 5th Nov 2018:

    I've read the book and it's great for learning this method. He also has
    some interesting idea's in regards to Dreaming which are worth reading as
    well. I don't 'promote' peoples work lightly, yet this WILD book and
    method is so fast and simple, as well as cutting through all the crap one
    must attempt to do with others methods, I feel I need to mention it here.
    Buy the book. Do the work. Dream. It's really that simple.

    Kristopher Kelley: On Facebook's WILDs & WILDing Group 22nd Oct 2018:

    I just finished reading this book and had to laugh. I’ve been WILDing for many years now. I DILD at night and WILD during the day for naps and such.
    I never thought of the ‘process’ I went through during the day to enter Dreaming. slider just explained it! LOL! - I hope he gets rich and famous
    off his book! Good work!

    Charlie Traphagan: On Facebook: 21st Aug. 2018:

    This book is no less than a revolutionary piece of art. With everything concerning debate stripped away to leave only the exact process so as to
    keep the reader from jumping to conclusions about this or that, The WILD
    Way To Lucid Dreaming TRULY is the most practical of all guides created.

    ***

    Don Salmon: WILDs & WILDing Facebook Group: 10th Aug 2018:

    I now declare this the best lucid dream book I've ever read (previously I thought it was Alan Wallace's "Dreaming Yourself Awake." To be fair to
    Alan, as far as Buddhist philosophy goes, Alan's is still the best. But
    that's not Brian's intention - his is purely practical. For practical
    lucid dreams, you just can't beat this.

    ***

    Deborah Flak: Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection Facebook Group, 7th Aug
    2018:

    So I enjoyed my first WILD this morning - thanks for the tip! This is much
    more accessible and more 'on demand' than regular lucid dreaming. Very interesting to watch what happens as we begin to fall asleep and as these images pop up!

    ***

    Scott Robinson on Facebook's Unworlding Group, 7th June 2018:

    I am preparing to plug Brian Aherne's (slider's) book big time on my
    unworlding group just this morning since this awesome book has just
    provided me with a milestone experience, my first ever totally lucid WILD
    from a waking state. This is the first really great, original book I've
    found in a long time.

    ***

    ***** Simple and straight forward instruction.
    Amazon UK Customer - By Raitis: 6 June 2018 - Kindle format:

    Simple and straight forward instruction about how to induce WILD. I like
    the way writer keeps open minded about theories.

    ***

    ***** Call of the WILD.
    Amazon UK Customer - By tompicton: 3 June 2018 - Kindle Format:

    Very nice, the chapters of the book are a good-humoured and balanced look
    at lucid dreaming, the real gold being the method the author describes for wake-induced lucid dreams. Recommended, well worth the price if you can
    master what is a far less complicated sounding technique than DILD-doing.

    ***

    ***** Worth the investment!
    Amazon US Customer - By Dr. Eoghan C. Ballardon January 10, 2018 - Kindle Edition:

    The worst that can be said of this book is that it leaves you wanting
    more. On the plus side it is an excellent guide which will aid a great
    deal in reaching your goals. It is well worth the investment.

    ***** For Beginners I tell you >:3
    Amazon UK Customer - By FJ on 3 Mar. 2017 - Format: Kindle Edition:

    I really like this book, it has a lighter and friendly approach to the
    subject and I was able to enter a low levels of lucidity after a week or
    so of being aware of my sleeping pattern. In the dream I was washed ashore
    to a random island in a secret high tech facility of some sort. And I was
    able to instant dry my clothes XD but then I went on and succumbed to the
    dream in an unconscious state. I am looking forward to practice with this
    book on my further travels to the dream world :)

    ***

    ***** Wonderfully written and easy to understand
    Amazon CA Customer - By Marilyn Gaburaon April 1, 2016 - Format: Paperback:

    This book is a great way to learn more about our dreaming. It is written
    in a way that anyone can understand the concepts of the dreaming world. We
    all dream but some people might be surprised that we have more control
    over our dreams than we think. The author will explain how we can do that
    and even help you achieve lucid dreaming. Why should we care about lucid dreaming? The author will give you many reasons and some are actually very important to our well being.

    ***** Finally there is a comprehensive book dedicated to WILD'ing
    "been waiting ages for this"
    UK Amazon Customer on 9 Aug. 2016 - Paperback Edition:

    Bought this recently as I've not had much success with Wake Initiated
    Lucid Dreams so far, way to much contradictory info on the net, not to
    mention people talking about WILD'ing is for masters its not, and this
    book clearly shows you why, thank you author, and last night I had another
    one, flying around some town at night in full lucidity with the stars outshining lamp posts as I gazed up, air filled with a kind of Mary
    Poppins static (lol don't ask me to try and explain that one) but you'll
    know when your there, was unreal ?? Now I'm not the greatest reader, have
    a slightly short concentration span, and I usually go for audios, but this
    book was fascinating and very easy to pick up and read, so that for me was
    an added bonus. - Top Book!

    ***

    ***** Informative and encouraging
    UK Amazon Customer Ivanda on 30 Oct. 2016 - Paperback Edition:

    For those who are not very successful with DILDs , WILDs could be the way
    to go. I suspect many people won't even try it because they've been told
    how difficult it is, but if they only gave WILDing a good go, they might
    be surprised! So, I'd say the book is definitely worth reading.

    ***

    ***** Five Stars
    UK Amazon Customer Rupen Patel on 24 Sept. 2016 Format: Kindle Edition:

    The only book you need.

    ***

    ***** I really like the book as it taught a very doable technique
    Amazon.US Customer - Happy Customer on September 18, 2016 Format:
    Paperback:

    I really like the book as it taught a very doable technique for lucid
    dreaming using the hypnagogic state. I feel that I am on my way to doing a
    WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dream) which with this technique, may be actually easier than most others. With some practice, and following directions,
    lucid dreaming may be possible in weeks instead of months.

    ***

    *** DW. [jeremy heh] Amazon US Customer 7th May 2016 - Paperback Edition:

    The author does make clear that the major advantage of WILD is the ability
    to do lucid dreaming virtually at will, and to remain aware throughout the entire process, and that is truly an advantage.

    ***

    ***** Schnelle Erfolge mit WILD
    Amazon.de Customer on 8th August 2016 Kindle Edition

    Ich habe mir dieses Buch gekauft, da ich bereits seit über 5 Jahren
    versuche regelmäßige/konstante Klarträume zu induzieren und bisher dabei noch keine nennenswerte Erfolge erzielen konnte.

    Jahrelang habe ich mit der DILD Technik versucht Klarträume zu induzieren,
    was mehr oder weniger funktioniert. Meinen größten Erfolg hatte ich im
    Jahr 2014, wo ich es bis zu 10 Klarträume im Monat geschafft habe. Leider konnte man sich nie sicher sein, ob man im nächsten Traum wieder einen Klartraum hat oder nicht, da man bei der DILD Technik aus dem Traum heraus
    sein Bewusstsein wiedererlangt und somit einen Klartraum hat. Die WILD
    Technik hatte ich bisher so gut wie ignoriert, da sie als eine schwere
    Technik im Internet beschrieben wird. Vor allem Abends soll man wenige
    Erfolge mit der Technik haben. Es wird geraten, dass man erstmal 5-6
    Stunden schläft und dann WILD anwendet. (Was ehrlichgesagt nicht so mein
    Fall ist)

    Ich habe das Buch nun knapp 1 1/2 Wochen und mich schon vorher in die WILD Technik etwas reingelesen. Hier wird Schritt für Schritt erklärt, was bei
    der Technik zu beachten ist und wie man sich perfekt darauf vorbereitet.
    Es wird die grundsätzliche WILD Technik ohne "Schnick-Schnack" erklärt.
    Der Autor möchte dem Leser vor allem vermitteln, dass die Technik nicht schwierig ist, wie es oftmals im Internet zu lesen ist. Mit etwas Übung
    kann man Klarträume auf Abruf induzieren. Man behält sein Bewusstsein bei
    dem Prozess aufrecht bis man sich im Traum befindet.

    Kurz zu meinen Bisherigen Erfolgen innerhalb von knapp 2 Wochen: 4 kurze Klarträume (2-3 Sekunden, da ich sehr aufgeregt war) 2 lange Klarträume ( einer ca. 5 Minuten - der Andere ca. 10-15 Minuten)

    3 von den 6 Klarträumen habe ich Abends erfolgreich durchgeführt.
    (Darunter die 2 langen Klarträume) Die anderen 3 Klarträume habe ich
    während einem Mittagsschlaf induzieren können.

    Kurz und knapp: Das Buch hat mir sehr dabei geholfen zu verstehen, was
    wichtig ist um die WILD Technik sauber durchzuführen. Wichtiger noch finde ich, dass der Autor einem vermittelt, dass WILDen gar nicht so schwer ist,
    wie es im Internet beschrieben wird. Dem kann ich aktuell zustimmen - allerdings ist es Anfangs etwas schwieriger sich an die Vorbereitung zu gewöhnen. Der Erfolg spricht aber für sich und es ist lange her, dass ich
    in so kurzer Zeit so viele Klarträume hatte. Jeder sollte sich eine eigene Meinung bilden - ich bin jedenfalls sehr zufrieden und hoffe, dass es nun
    so weiter geht mit den Klarträumen :-)

    ### - = Dream-Induced Lucid Dreaming (DILD)

    ### - hahaha, nice girl but you wouldn't wanna marry it :)))


    Here in the states you must identify yourself
    as a mob justice ready, living godhead lawgiver,
    punisher of the filthy satanic nazi masses
    in order not to be censored. Time to update your profile
    if you want to avoid censorship.

    ### - the 'censor' has never been too smart heh, and has been easily (and traditionally) worked around via the use of metaphor and allegory, and
    just so long as nothing is stated outright against the existing powers
    that be...


    Trust me dude "Wallyworld" needs a new iconic term,
    or maybe not. It's getting weirder by the hour.

    ### - wallyworld is just my own humorous term for civilisation so called,
    a caricature of a world gone rationally insane but which promotes itself
    as being uber-rational...

    a man-made/fabricated world 'within' a world...

    iow: a gigantic (but very ugly) theme-park that's not at all in-accord
    with Reality, and runs-counter to it ;)

    ### - great, like just what the world needs now is even 'more' divisive
    walls between us instead of building bridges? and is all such typical right-wing shite??

    well ok then, and in that very same spirit, so how's about finding a large deserted island somewhere miles from anywhere, and permanently housing all
    the politicians of the 'world' right there and building a huge
    impenetrable wall all the way around it; and then the world'll be better
    off as we'll be shot of the lot of 'em, forever! yeaaa!

    oh and 'they' can pay for it all too out of their own thieving pockets!

    smile, i just have these really brilliant ideas sometimes innit eh?

    just comes to me outta' absolutely nowhere folks!

    imagine no politicians
    it's easy if you try
    no more thieving, lying bastards

    ### - this particular dude was having a little difficulty using the
    hypnagogia correctly? he was applying wbtb (wake back to bed) and was able
    to see a few blobs and shapes every time etc but not a lot else,
    persistence however, paid off for him last night and he hit the proverbial jackpot! stopped farting about and went directly to go and collected his
    full 200 dream bucks! oh yes! :)

    here's how he described it today:

    Terence Greenhithe: Last night after 1st natural awakening, i done a body
    scan then went to the hypnogogia. My usual floating blobs of grey swirled
    past in true mesmerising fashion and I then remembered at this stage to
    'look past them'. As soon as I did this I felt like I was being 'rushed forward' and then im in a local street lucid. Successful WILD. :-)

    ***

    note the slight variation he recounts, no detailed awesome hypnagogia to mention and just a few simple blobs and grey mist etc, which he's been
    seeing for quite a while all along but was seemingly stuck there, yet he
    still managed to use that state correctly merely by looking 'through' them
    and got pulled/zoomed in! his slight shift in focus doing the trick!

    very cool actually + tends to suggest it's perhaps even easier than i've suggested? hah :)

    perforce he's over the moon about it today, his first real WILD! + now he irrefutably also knows exactly 'how' it's all done too!

    just another couple of those and he'll be ready for the next stage:

    that of prolonging it... plus that of encountering the midway point where
    all the fun 'really' begins in earnest! the baby steps behind him, he'll
    go forward and begin to explore all his own abilities & possibilities! and that, my friends, is pretty damn cool when you can just conjure it all up
    like that on demand?!

    plus, after an enabling experience like that, why the heck would anyone
    ever wanna go back to dilding again anyway as their sole pursuit, if it
    (and even better) can literally be turned on & off at will just by gazing
    at a dumb bunch of hypnagogia??

    nope, dilds have had their day alright... they've had their time, quite a
    lot of time actually! they've been ruling the roost!

    but now WILDs are back on the scene after an absence of perhaps even
    millennia!

    that if someone 'wants' to experience lucid dreaming they don't have to traditionally wait any longer for months & years as before!

    it's really 'not' that difficult to see some hypnagogia + once ya know
    just what to 'do' with them, like that, then WILDing becomes a genuine
    reality & clear consciously available choice!

    that from the pov of being 'able' to WILD: to dream or not to dream really
    IS (and becomes) the question!

    nice + looks like i really got it right :)

    man you've got your west coast under assistant
    promo man for sure now. he is really sold.

    ### - he sure is isn't he heh, my No.1 book fan :)

    just had a long 3-way conversation between him, alan bell (admin of the
    lucid dreaming group) and myself yesterday + am thinking of setting him up
    with a franchise of sorts: he pays cost for printed books from amazon (currently $2.85 each) and sells 'em for whatever he wants ($9.99 maybe)
    and keeps the change, ebooks he can have for free and again sell for
    whatever he wants and keep it all, i don't get anything from his sales
    myself but it does expand the readership (and popularity of the book) at
    no cost to myself and that's pretty cool.. he's only a young guy with no
    real income to speak of and also has a young child living with it's mother
    in sweden, and if he wants to sell books and maybe even earn a living (or
    at least subsidise his own income) via my books then he's very welcome...

    smile, am giving him north america as his 'territory' (heh) seeing as no
    one else was interested in it, the business cards and flyers i posted
    recently on fb being basically for him as a starter for 10 to work on and improve/evolve as he goes along... i like him and i hope he does well :)

    ### - have built him a starter-website to play with and to also evolve/develop...

    the one he had (his own) was a blank white page with just the one link on
    it pointing to 'my' site haha

    it's currently suffering from some sorta certificate problem (crappy cheap
    host no doubt) but will be fixed soon once he gets onto them about it, so
    if your browser blocks it it's ok for now to create an 'exception' to
    entering it, it's perfectly safe otherwise to do so...

    once at the london paladium (excellent concert) and once at the dominion tottenham court road

    this last being based around his then new album 'Grace & Danger'

    and maan what a show that was! went with 3 friends and was blown away!

    we literally staggered outta that concert and were all seeing mild
    hypnagogia all over the place in the form of blobs and splashes of colour,
    each thinking it was just them alone affected until we discussed it and realised that all 4 of us were basically trippin all the way home hehehe...

    this was one of the tracks from that convert:

    ### - this from a guy on the group who achieved a breakthrough last night
    :)

    John Bruce Bedford: So highly motivated from the back and fourth messaging between us all last night I “genuinely” decided to try and carry out a WILD, but ...so I lay there relaxed, is 1am, couldn’t really progress in
    my attempt to will hypnagogia, not that one is suppose to force this I
    know, tossed and turned for a bit, still trying in intervals, it’s 3am
    now, getting no where and more annoyingly still can’t sleep, getting to
    sleep is a life long issue for me, maybe a disadvantage for a WILD I don’t know?

    Anyway I’m laying there, but instead of giving up I decided to, how can I say: try less, pay less attention to the job in hand so to speak without jeopardising the goal.

    Early hours of the morning came, feeling very very relaxed and, aware, I
    went from conscious in bed (waking life) to conscious walking down the
    street (in a dream) without a break but, BUT, I don’t remember getting
    sucked into the dream, nor do I recall any dream scene forming behind my
    closed eyes, now I may, on the face of it may have fallen asleep
    momentarily while the transition was happening I’m all up for excepting
    that and meaning I didn’t WILD.

    Ok so I seemed to be awake and interacting with mental regular images (not hypnagogic imagery), then suddenly standing in a dream street where I knew immediately what had happened thus initiating lucidity.

    Anyway I’m not sure what to make of it, but it has inspired me further and
    I will attempt again tonight.

    Pretty cool!

    I've had success with technique, but only on relaxed nights.
    Under "pressure day" it's a little harder to let go and cross
    into the dream. It's a solid technique.

    ### - am happy if it works for you, plus was chatting with another dude
    just the night before the above with almost the same experience of
    suddenly making his mind up to be determined to 'make' it work, stuck with
    it and was rewarded for his 'determined' effort with a full WILD after
    months of pissing about with only half-hearted attempts...

    that ultimately the problem some peeps have is merely one of not 'making'
    it happen, of only 'sorta' having a go at it and of letting go of it too easily/quickly instead of 'insisting' that this is gonna work, both of
    them coincidentally missing the transition part and going from laying down
    to suddenly being in a WILD (even chris had one of those his very first
    time)

    theory: that what a person is maybe really only doing via doing it in
    stages and relaxing, gazing at images, and then zooming in on them etc, is slowly building-up their determination to succeed over a 2-week period to
    the point that their 'determination' become powerful enough to launch them
    into a WILD...

    that that pussy-claat jeremy (jamacian slang heh) might just have been
    'right' about the need to 'intend' it?

    it's certainly a curious idea anyway heh :)

    ### - this from a dude i originally nearly crossed swords with as he was
    kinda anti-WILD, or at least just wanted to remain 'pro-choice' (hehehe)
    in the matter; the old saw of: well some peeps are just better at some
    things than other peeps coz everyone is different etc etc... a default
    argument many experienced dild-doers throw out in order to just side-step
    the whole issue...

    so anyway, this particular dude, and after several quite reasonable
    exchanges with him, and where i eventually talked him into having another
    + 'proper' go at WILDing this time, apparently had quite an experience, so
    much so that he's now serialising the whole thing (his adventure) for his dildo-ing circle of friends! :D


    Reece Joseph Jones
    My WILD Journey: Part Three
    15th March 2019: Night One (continued...)

    But just like that, it was gone again – visuals dissipating, blackness returning, the support of my bed underneath me. “At least I’m in the right headspace now,” I think to myself optimistically, not moving a muscle, knowing full well that a quick re-entry is likely imminent.

    Seconds later, my suspicions are confirmed as sparks of light explode like fireworks behind my eyelids, softly coalescing into several recognisable
    forms from there: a pair of tiger eyes, children playing in the street, a gathering in the forest – visions majestically flitting by from one to the next in sublime, otherworldly succession. Then, a female voice. “We sin!” she exclaims loudly in an angelic tone, whipping by me at some speed...and
    my consciousness gets pulled right back in alongside her – the second
    entry decidedly smoother than the first.

    This time I find myself rolling out of bed and standing up in my room.
    “Back in,” I think to myself nonchalantly in an attempt to remain calm. I look to my right, and then to my left. It looks *exactly* like my bedroom
    at home (so much so, in fact, that if you’re inclined to believe in OBEs, you’d likely label this as such). Tentatively, then, I take a step
    forward, half-expecting the dreamscape to dissolve around me again as I
    do, and in perfect synchronisation with those thoughts, it does exactly
    that. Fade to black.

    I lay still, back in my bed at home, tingling from head to toe, mind
    ablaze with anticipation for entry number three (I have no doubt about it
    this time; it’s coming; I feel it in my bones). And again, in perfect synchronisation with my thoughts, sparks begin to fly and forms begin to
    take shape. This time it’s my mum and dad talking, then a lake with ducks, after that, ice cream being served. Coupled with the visions, I feel the bizarre sensation of my consciousness “adjusting” itself, almost like a lens refocusing, as if I’m being “aligned for entry”. Then, the “big/little” feeling, and for a third time now, I get pulled right back into the dreamscape.

    I materialise in a medium-sized room. It looks like a combination of two different rooms I’m familiar with from my past (a childhood bedroom from
    the 90s and one of the guest rooms at Heartland Farm). Things seem a
    little more stable this time, so I begin my usual grounding routine:
    rubbing the walls, the furniture, my hands, etc, and marvelling – as I
    often do – at the magnificently convincing textures and visuals.
    Everything feels and looks hyper-realistic (dare I say even *more*
    realistic than what I’m used to in DILDs?). I shift my focus from one
    thing to the next in an attempt to continue the grounding process,
    speaking out loud as I do, “I’m Reece Jones; I’m 31 years old; I was born in London, England.”

    Things seem solid now. The dreamscape and my place within it settle down,
    and my intuition gives me the go ahead to venture forth. And so, I head
    towards the door in search of adventure, feeling confident that this is
    the one...third time lucky...when suddenly, and rather unexpectedly,
    everything fizzles again and I’m back in my bed at home.

    I lay there, staring at the dark space behind my eyelids once more, disappointed. “Really?!” I think to myself, incredulously. “Fine then. That’s enough for one night.” Rolling over, I reality check to ensure I’m indeed back in waking life and not just experiencing a false awakening,
    then I begin to log the experience in my dream journal.

    So, there we have it: night one. I can’t exactly classify it as a success, but it certainly wasn’t a failure either. Not bad for a first attempt, let’s say that much. It gave me some hope that perhaps I *could* crack
    this once and for all. Sure, I was unsuccessful at stabilising the
    dreamscape for more than a minute or two, and it wasn’t all that
    dissimilar from my past experiences, but nevertheless...I did it. I had a
    brief WILD. This goes some way in showing how lucid dreaming is 90% about belief: talk about it, read about it, tell yourself routinely that you’re gonna do it (and really believe it when you do), and boom, just like that
    you can achieve some very quick success (following up on that success and maintaining consistency over time is, of course, a whole different story).

    Waking up the next morning I find myself in a particularly good mood – the rest of the night having been punctuated by mainly Layer Zero experiences.
    I reach out to Brian first thing and tell him what I achieved. “Well
    done!” he replies “Very proud of you.” I tell him about the crossing back and forth, and my inability to stabilise the dreamscape. “For some
    reason,” he says. “Crossing back and forth like that is precisely *how*
    you stabilise it, so just go with it next time.” I kick myself. If I’d stayed still and gone in for number four, then, perhaps *that* would have
    been the one? “Oh well,” I think to myself. “I’ll try again this evening...”

    Tune back in next week for night two...

    ### - this guy's been rather good at dildo-ing & also at WILDing during
    daytime naps, but had kinda played down the WILDs as he wasn't exactly
    sure how he's been doing them and as such had considered them to be kinda
    more difficult... in trying my suggested approach, however, he hit the
    money first time and was really rather pleasantly surprised, enough to log
    his foray into WILDing in this newer manner in detail in his journal to
    impress his dildo friends with... his report of feeling unusually good the
    next morning being a common feature of WILDing that's very similar to the afterglow of dild-doing... (he's apparently made several instructional
    vids previously about dildo-ing)

    plus 2 of his 'friends' following this story having subsequently bought a
    copy of my book hahaha...

    a young lady who's been 'dreaming' of WILDing for nearly a year heh, but
    never ever getting to see the hypnagogia-stage no matter how hard she
    tried, but has finally cracked it once & for all, cool :) (she is also the person creating the spanish translation of my book and being a native

    6 hrs ago

    This morning, hour 00.30, it happened!!!!!!! I quickly saw hypnagogic
    image, it was a modern city, I saw many cars into the traffic....it was a
    rainy day.....I saw the scene beyond a glass with the dropping rain on
    it..... I passively observed all this.....After some minutes I were into
    the scenario, walking through the traffic! I'm so happyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, WILD!!!!!!!!!

    ***

    usually very reserved and fairly quiet; i don't suppose we'll be able to
    shut her up now lol, i don't really know what her original problem was
    (similar to chris's i suppose of not seeing the hypnagogia) but am very
    happy for her to have finally broken-through to the other side ;)

    ### - hahaha bob, you naughty boy :)))

    some of these 'dreams' are ultra-real and are very hard to tell the
    difference between a real world or a projected one (i still can't tell sometimes, and it's only that i can fly in them that makes them any
    different to being in this world...)

    you can try the WILDs like this (what makes them a genuine WILD is being
    able to 'deliberately' initiate them at a time of your 'own' choosing)

    An Introduction To WILDs & WILDing
    Brian AherneWednesday, 17 May 2017

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/Lets.Get.WILDing/files/

    Howdy peeps, WILDs are surprisingly rather easy to do, but there's a lot
    of misinformation circulating about them...

    For best results, lay down on your left side with your knees together and
    the legs slightly bent and spend a few minutes relaxing your body, if you consciously release any tension using long slow out-breaths it doesn't
    have to take too long (20 minutes say...) and you will have reached a
    state where your body begins to feel a little strange (slightly inflated, larger, or a kind of floaty or numb feeling...) It's important NOT to
    fall asleep at all, although after a lifetime's habit of doing so it can
    take up to a week or so to break this silly habit of falling fast asleep
    like a log within moments, it's also VERY important NOT to move around at
    all!

    Anyway, once you get to that feeling slightly different stage, it's then important to deliberately pull your full attention 'away' from the
    sensations of the body altogether and only concentrate on what you can now
    see behind your closed eyes. Focus your eyes as though you were looking
    just beyond the tip of your nose (or a bit farther away if you feel any
    eye strain...) and wait to see some blobs and streaks of colour
    appearing. Keep staring straight ahead no matter what you see until some
    faint images begin to appear... All these effects are called hypnagogia...

    At first you'll tend to fall asleep looking at them, but that's ok, after
    a few nights of this you'll automatically begin to be able to stay awake a
    bit longer, cool... Keep watching (and enjoying) these hypnagogia, which
    can be a treat just in themselves... And eventually some really sharp and
    clear images will start to appear (very cool...) These are the one's to be interested in.
    When you spot a shockingly clear one, focus-in on it's finer details and
    you will be 'pulled' right into the dream state in an instant!

    This can be a bit shocking at first (YIKES! hehe) but you'll soon get
    used to it and be able to remain in the dream state for longer and longer,
    and that's basically it! First results should commence from around 2 weeks
    on average, some peeps take longer some quicker, but however long it takes
    it's still a whole heap faster than learning to DILD ever did, AND
    lucidity is nearly always 100%, making the resulting dreams appear
    incredibly vivid and clear!

    You really don't need anything else than just this alone to lucid dream,
    no journals or add-ons, plug-ins or pills required, recall is
    automatically 100% because you wont in fact be sleeping; these are WAKING dreams! (If you find yourself going into a state of sleep paralysis (SP)
    just cough or move a bit to dispel it and start over, as you went a bit
    too deep towards actual sleep...)

    And once you learn to do them you will then be enabled to do them just
    about anytime day OR night!
    There's a lot more to it all of course, and some of the deeper mysteries surrounding lucid dreaming will quickly become revealed to you, but you'll
    pick it all up as you go along anyway so no problem! Enjoy!

    some day i'll be on the fucking other side homes.

    ### - well that's guaranteed for everyone innit heh: one day!

    but whatcha gonna be doin' with yourself in the meantime eh? ;)

    young mary got annoyed at my comment: 'poor mary'

    which really wasn't meant/intended in quite the way she kinda took it...

    her annoyance, however, apparently spurring her to make some kinda 'extra' effort?

    and apparently that's what tipped the scales for her: her 'determination'
    laced with being slightly fed-up with getting nowhere, and now patronised
    by peeps calling her 'poor mary' to boot!

    that a slightly more 'determined' effort 'bordering on annoyance' is
    obviously required?

    a certain gritting of one's teeth then, so to speak, being the difference between passivity & activity?

    what jeremy once referred to as being... 'intent'? (damn, i hate him being maybe correct in something lol ahaha)

    a touch of unusual 'determination' then, to 'make' it work!

    not much though, just a tad annoyed, a tad impatient, a touch of: enough messin' about! let's get on with it! kinda thing?

    all of which makes a certain kinda sense in that WILDs are not a 'passive' thing and more the result of an 'active' thing!

    one 'chooses' to enter into an altered state of awareness resembling a
    lucid dream!

    it doesn't come to us except in garbled form as in a false awakening for example, or even as a dild; 'we' have to go to it for 'it' to really work!

    it's just fascinating to moi that we can even 'do' such a thing??

    i.e., quite deliberately, via a couple or 3 fairly simple manipulations of awareness in succession, placing ourselves into an altered state of
    awareness in a completely controlled manner & way!

    that here is clear evidence that we humans can be, & do more, than we've
    ever rationally suspected of ourselves! shamans 'maybe', but just any
    average joes as well??

    what the hell happened to the human race to forget ever having such
    abilities eh?

    was there maybe some kinda disaster that destroyed all that knowledge
    overnight as plato describes, or did it just gradually all fade away until
    only rumours & legends of such things remained?? until the only memory of
    it was left in various garbled forms to village shamans & medicine men
    alone?

    who knows!

    and now it's coming back! ;)

    we startin' over peeps!

    some day i'll be on the fucking other side homes.

    ### - you have actually had 3 WILDs to date? THREE!

    one of them while sitting in your hot tub?

    the point is one can't be 'passive' about WILDing, one has to be
    determined! WILDs are something one 'does' as opposed to just letting
    happen...

    look at this above dude for example; it takes him 2-hours to get it right??

    the point being he's determined to 'make' it work even if it takes him 2
    hours!

    and that's precisely the kind of determination required!

    cc talked in terms on 'intending' things and i'm talking in terms of being determined

    which prolly really only means the same thing anyway?

    in which case get into bed and grit your teeth! adopt a no-nonsense
    attitude!

    you're gonna DO this! even if it fails kinda thing! even if it takes all
    night!

    it's not like you're even a total stranger to doing it coz you've done it
    3 times already, albeit those 3 times were all kinda accidents; you did it
    but don't know 'how' you did them?

    so now it's gonna be different, you're gonna 'make' it yield by not
    letting go 'until' it yields!

    no gama, no props, no nuthin' just your grit and your insistence...

    some part of you understands all too well what's required so just insist
    it does it again!

    insist! insist! (smile)

    the art of insisting? :)

    dilds have basically ruined you for doing anything more... active?

    the 'active' side of lucid dreaming? (really laffing)

    one guy quit after only 4 days saying it bothered him to have to be active
    and so he was going back to dilding as ya don't have to 'do' anything for
    dilds lol

    we can't be 'passive' if we're to actually have any 'choice' in the matter?

    came across this quote the other day that's appropriate, albeit in a
    different context entirely:

    "they take advantage of our desire for ease, our resistance to effort, our resistance to challenge"

    iow; we're sooo passive? so passive that we let life push us around!

    so don't be passive any longer ok?

    gonna git that sucker and not let go until ya makes it yell uncle!

    e.g., that buddha-dude decided one day that he was just gonna sit under
    that damn tree and not get up again until he was enlightened! took him 3
    days apparently! just refused to budge on the matter!

    and won a gold medal ;)

    Good lord, you *do* leave yourself wide open. Thus, dreaming is your
    chance to lose your virginity?

    Do you know what one of the most common regrets announced on the death
    bed is? Last words?

    "I wish I had had more sex".

    Your last thoughts will be "I wish I'd had more dreams of sex".

    Drongo...this place is full of drongos...such fun to visit now and

    Heh, *now* I gather the reason for your insane chasing of control over
    your dreams. VR sex. The only type you can hope to get, apart from
    pulling the meat.

    Perhaps you can organise to meet up with pill popper at some time,
    organise a nice daisy chain or reach-around, a la boy scouts :)


    some of these 'dreams' are ultra-real and are very hard to tell the >difference between a real world or a projected one (i still can't tell >sometimes, and it's only that i can fly in them that makes them any
    different to being in this world...)

    you can try the WILDs like this (what makes them a genuine WILD is being
    able to 'deliberately' initiate them at a time of your 'own' choosing)

    An Introduction To WILDs & WILDing
    Brian Aherne·Wednesday, 17 May 2017

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/Lets.Get.WILDing/files/

    Howdy peeps, WILDs are surprisingly rather easy to do, but there's a lot
    of misinformation circulating about them...

    For best results, lay down on your left side with your knees together and
    the legs slightly bent and spend a few minutes relaxing your body, if you >consciously release any tension using long slow out-breaths it doesn't
    have to take too long (20 minutes say...) and you will have reached a
    state where your body begins to feel a little strange (slightly inflated, >larger, or a kind of floaty or numb feeling...) It's important NOT to
    fall asleep at all, although after a lifetime's habit of doing so it can >take up to a week or so to break this silly habit of falling fast asleep
    like a log within moments, it's also VERY important NOT to move around at >all!

    Anyway, once you get to that feeling slightly different stage, it's then >important to deliberately pull your full attention 'away' from the
    sensations of the body altogether and only concentrate on what you can now >see behind your closed eyes. Focus your eyes as though you were looking
    just beyond the tip of your nose (or a bit farther away if you feel any
    eye strain...) and wait to see some blobs and streaks of colour
    appearing. Keep staring straight ahead no matter what you see until some >faint images begin to appear... All these effects are called hypnagogia...

    At first you'll tend to fall asleep looking at them, but that's ok, after
    a few nights of this you'll automatically begin to be able to stay awake a >bit longer, cool... Keep watching (and enjoying) these hypnagogia, which
    can be a treat just in themselves... And eventually some really sharp and >clear images will start to appear (very cool...) These are the one's to be >interested in.
    When you spot a shockingly clear one, focus-in on it's finer details and
    you will be 'pulled' right into the dream state in an instant!

    This can be a bit shocking at first (YIKES! hehe) but you'll soon get
    used to it and be able to remain in the dream state for longer and longer, >and that's basically it! First results should commence from around 2 weeks
    on average, some peeps take longer some quicker, but however long it takes >it's still a whole heap faster than learning to DILD ever did, AND
    lucidity is nearly always 100%, making the resulting dreams appear
    incredibly vivid and clear!

    You really don't need anything else than just this alone to lucid dream,
    no journals or add-ons, plug-ins or pills required, recall is
    automatically 100% because you wont in fact be sleeping; these are WAKING >dreams! (If you find yourself going into a state of sleep paralysis (SP) >just cough or move a bit to dispel it and start over, as you went a bit
    too deep towards actual sleep...)

    And once you learn to do them you will then be enabled to do them just
    about anytime day OR night!
    There's a lot more to it all of course, and some of the deeper mysteries >surrounding lucid dreaming will quickly become revealed to you, but you'll >pick it all up as you go along anyway so no problem! Enjoy!

    :)

    Good lord :(

    ### - well, both the spanish & portuguese translations have now arrived
    and are currently being formatted for both paperback & ebook editions, the italiano version is due next month...

    not bad eh? :)

    and with only another 9 sales of the 'english' version (i like saying that
    bit heh) required to reach the big 300 in english sales!

    so who'd have thunk it eh?

    certainly not moi in my own lifetime anyway hah...

    the damned thing is now literally paying for itself! lol :)))

    i guess am fairly pleased then huh...

    plus who knows, maybe i'll even live long enough to see it published in a
    few more languages eh?

    chinese, that would be a good one, and french! plus maybe german too as
    there's been quite a lot of sales to germany! (about a dozen!) had one
    inquiry re Polish + yesterday someone even offered to do an english
    'audible' version too!

    smile, will prolly wake up in a minute to find the last 3 years have been
    only a dream, with jeremy still here taking the piss and thang still
    calling everyone a cunt etc etc; what a disappointment 'that' would be!
    LOL ;)

    oh well, onward & upward then and; Once more unto the breach, dear
    friends...

    (have ya met my latest breach? she's not that bad lookin', honest!)

    ### - smile, i see some of the peeps are starting to get to the, perhaps,
    more juicy parts of WILDing now heh...

    they've worked their way through the initial stages and gots used to the
    whole process, many of them now starting to do the old back & forth
    movements between waking and dreaming that leads directly to approximating
    said midway point, something that's unwittingly crossed again and again
    every time one goes one way into dreaming and/or on the way back again...

    a totally dark void where one is, apparently, just a bodiless thought surrounded by complete darkness?

    that's it's precisely this 'crossing back & forth' itself that ultimately stabilises the whole thing, and wherein one suddenly then becomes
    cognizant that one's own 'choice' is actually the key factor in all this!
    that one can actually 'choose' which way to go or not to go!

    and that my friends, is where it all really 'does' start to get very interesting indeed :)

    i.e., the 'me', the myself i more usually know myself to be, is totally different in that place?

    it's another me! an unfamiliar one i mean... i'm me but am not myself as i
    know myself to be hah...

    a bigger me then! an all-knowing me! a me i've only ever had glimpses of
    before on occasion (good hair days lol) but which is sustained in that
    dark place! and is prolonged enough to even be able to examine it!

    we don't need no stinkin' teachers in 'that' place! teacher & taught are
    one in that place!

    we actually know what we're doin'... in that place!

    and what are we all doing?? pissin' our lives up the wall in wallyworld 9.9-tenths of the time lol

    the rest we're not even aware of!?

    wtf then have we all been doin'??? we went to the cinema one day and never
    came out??

    the midway point heh... reach 'that' and we start to evolve again...

    we wuz all stuck in there for a good long while going around in circles,
    but a door is opening!

    some straight lines emerging! and, given long enough, they'll eventually
    step right outta wallyworld altogether and move beyond it...

    pure white lotus blossoms, blooming above the cesspit they all have their
    roots in?

    lol i'll prolly be chained to a rock for eternity for this hahaha...

    move-over prometheus; ya maybe got's some company a-comin' ;)

    old cc was basically correct, in that 'without' an acute awareness of it:
    we're idiots!

    wallyworld et-al being the 'direct-result' of screening-out that awareness!

    "we don't have to 'live', we can just all play instead!"

    and which wouldn't be so bad either if their 'games' weren't really so
    nasty & ultimately cruel?

    wallyworld is a hellhole! the real-deal of cesspits??

    it's pathetic how we live on this planet!?

    all the 'good' stuff deeply buried under growing-tons of worthless shite!

    puffed-up cunts eating lobsters, and quaffing expensive brandies, while
    only just downstairs or round the corner some poor cunt is literally
    starving to death of neglect???

    nah maan, this planet is all fucked up! they've gots all their priorities back-to-front big-time!

    BIG time! - GANGSTERS are running the show ffs!

    'access' to genuine education is the only answer not violence & revolution et-al, do it that way and the new boss is the same as the old boss every
    time!

    this is a revolution of... the mind! ;)

    tada! it's finally the big 300 folks! (sales that is hehe) :)

    the spanish version is currently being formatted for paperback & kindle
    and will be published next week, quickly followed by the portuguese
    version AND the italian job to-boot next month!

    never honestly thought i'd sell this many in my lifetime tho' (what's left
    of it i mean as am now in my mid 60's) but there ya go! 15 sales per month
    like clockwork for the last 3 months (17 currently) and is hopefully set
    to rise as more languages come into the frame?

    damn! am suddenly a published author or something ffs!?! (turns around and looks behind him: who me?? lol shut-up!)

    it's still really only just sinking in hehehe...

    feels like everything else only happened in a dream?

    i.e., maybe that dream i had, of some seemingly parallel + almost utopian world, was actually a glimpse of a distant future that is currently being
    set in motion? (one possible future anyhoo...)

    they didn't have any music (which was damn weird heh) but they didn't need money and used a barter-system instead, they all looked healthy, happy,
    modern & robust, there wasn't any pollution & it wasn't a concrete jungle, transport was free, and when someone collapsed on the pavement everyone
    rushed to help them, plus the quality of the weed they had was second to
    none!

    i could defo live there alright haha ;)

    ### - well folks, it's been a bumper month for the 'The WILD Way To Lucid Dreaming' with 20 sales from all over the planet (the most sales in any
    one month to date, 19 being the record previously from last year
    sometime...) so things appear to be going quite well albeit still fairly slowly, but still actually earning yours truly 85.51 ($111.22) just in
    this last month alone!

    how it all goes from here being anyone's guess i suppose, but with WILDs definitely gaining in popularity on fb amongst the dreaming community, and
    with many there now reporting on it daily whereas it used to be all
    totally about dilds + 3 soon to be added translations, things tend to bode
    well for it in the longterm...

    the major hurdles having all now been passed, there's not much more now to report/update ya's to (jeremy breathes a sigh of relief haha: oh thank
    fuck for that!) unless, of course, something more dramatic occurs (i dunno what; wins another minor award perhaps, and/or gets taken up and
    serialised by readers digest or summat - i did offer it to them lol, but
    nada! - and/or it ends up on the oprah or some other morning show, or more notoriously crsds ends up on springer as a lucid-sex junkie shagging
    everything in sight now he's learned to WILD at will lol... j/k? ahaha...)

    but i guess that just about otherwise wraps it up really folks...

    meanwhile, many new WILD pioneers are indeed already marching towards an uncertain future...

    next book coming up? - 'Bigger Than Jesus!' :D :D :D

    (crackin' up, which admittedly i stole from an episode of the simpsons
    seen recently haha...)

    ### - great news today of a very kind offer to translate the book into
    french! (yaaay) :)

    french is very cool because the terms used in that language are
    'unambiguous', unlike english which has several meanings for the same word there is only one term for something in french, a very good reason many
    famous authors chose french to publish their work in because that way
    there can be no possible misunderstanding of what's being said/suggested
    by them (very cool)

    the dude in question actually offered to do it just for the kudos of doing
    it and of bringing it to his french-speaking peeps who can't read english
    (the majority of them apparently) and for just being part of it all
    because he's read the book and likes it, but i've suggested sharing the royalties with him 50/50 for 5-years (the industry standard contract) and
    will be only too happy to do so! (very cool) :)

    the WILD way in french?? lol i love it! :)))

    (the spanish & portuguese translations are now 99.9% complete, mr italy
    has disappeared for a while for some reason but expect him back any time
    now with his completed version too...)

    that's so cool...

    so then, chinese next perhaps?

    place yer' bets! lol :)))

    ### - ahem, anyhoo... (lol) :D

    the 'lad' is apparently rising up the amazon charts and is now ridin' @ number-73?? (wooo!) :)

    granted heh, it's in a somewhat obscure sub-category, and is for example,
    still 3 places behind: 'The top ten things DEAD people want to ask you'
    (ffs LOL! + roflm-mofo-ao! you couldn't make this shit up?? lol)

    but then hey! being in the top 100 of anything is still being in 'A' top
    100 of sumfing, is it not?? (cracking up laffing...) :D

    i.e, current amazon stats:

    #73 in Consciousness & Thought
    #142 in New Age New Thought
    #199 in Consciousness & Thought/Philosophy

    it's still, however, almost unknown in the more main charts (the one's
    that count) currently only standing in the Amazon Best Sellers Rank for
    example @: #95,892 (aww...)

    and although certainly riding higher than many, in actuality it's still hovering out there somewhere round-abouts pluto, or even the ort-cloud,
    for all people can see it unless they're actually looking for it haha...

    geez what i wouldn't give for about 20-grands worth of advertising right
    now eh?

    'coz am sure could almost certainly turn that into 40-grand, possibly a
    lot more, and then just do it again & again ad infinitum...

    but what else can a poor boy do eh??

    fuck-all apparently hehehe ;)

    Mary Libera
    Conversation starter 11 August at 16:43

    Hi, I can enter the Void and get a lucid dream at will because of my
    intent, but now I see no more hypnagogic images..... I can't understant
    this absence of hypnagogia... Is it a normal stage? What do you think
    about? Thank you.

    ### - well folks, it looks like we have our first real + genuine winner of WILDing! Tada!

    for here is a young lady who has struggled through the various stages
    involved to attain the Midway Point; a kind of dark perceptual void
    existing between waking and actually dreaming, and in which one apparently
    then exists as only a thought surrounded only by total blackness &
    darkness...

    for it is only 'here' and from 'this' perceptual pov that lucid dreaming on-demand truly becomes a genuine reality! (to dream or not to dream, that
    is now the question for her, and she can literally choose!)

    it is also at the midway point that our knowledge deepens/widens extraordinarily by several magnitudes, once you find your feet there a
    kind of 'inner' knowing prevails, you ask questions and you receive
    profound answers that appear to be unerringly correct + this heightened awareness is then carried back into the waking world for several more
    hours afterwards to be experienced there too...

    her proficiency is now such that, within only moments of laying down,
    she's off into the midway point/void and can then enter into a lucid dream
    at will & on demand should she so choose! there isn't even any hypnagogia anymore, she just goes directly to this void and from there she can do
    what she wants with her perception!

    a star pupil heh... one who is now also completely independent of schools
    of thought and/or beliefs, and even teachers come to that because she has actually and in truth become her own best teacher & guide!

    well done Mary Libera, others have come (and are coming) quite close, but you've actually cracked it girl! what a breakthrough! :)

    she struggled quite a lot initially (harder than most) just getting to see
    the hypnagogia, and then after another long struggle she had some WILDs,
    and, after a few of those, she kept finding herself in some kinda
    grey/black void wondering where had all the hypnagogia gone, she could now dream on command but there were no more hypnagogia?

    having mastered all that, her real journey now begins as she starts experimenting with what she can now do with an expanded perception in that
    dark place, and in the other several places now available to her too,
    perforce which includes that of lucid dreaming in its many forms and the
    fact that she now has some control over what she dreams about
    (older/previous dreams & memories can be revisited with facility for
    example, similar perhaps to what a hypnotist can achieve by guiding people accordingly, only now she can do it all herself, and imho that's very cool)

    the only question now being: how long (and/or how much of this) does it
    take before she (or anyone) matures and finally finds some worthy
    direction to travel in, her own inner-self/voice will unerringly guide her
    so she's bound to advance steadily and surely, just what she discovers
    along the way can't be predicted but we know for sure that whatever it is
    it will be sublime & profound...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFAp3aRJ2vA

    confirmation indeed! :)

    ### - well it's been a bumper-month so far for 'The WILD Way To Lucid
    Dreaming' folks! :)

    20 record sales for august so far, this beating the previous record of 19
    sales in a single month, and with still another 6 days left to go,
    whoo-hoo!

    total sales to date now being exactly 350 (kewl) and are already up on
    last year's 104 sales in only the first 6 months of this one! (the year
    ending february next...) so the figures are actually climbing in this its
    4th year rather than fizzling out as the vast majority of indie
    publications tend to do after 3...

    the group is also doing well too, with just another 52 members required
    for our first 1000!

    a recent poll i made on facebook re the different types of lucid dreaming people are currently going for, revealing approximately double still going
    for dilds over WILDs, but thereby also showing a massive increase in
    interest in WILDing over the last couple of years too...

    WILDs appear to be definitely creating a bit of a buzz/stir in the
    dreaming community heh...

    at last! :)

    ### - been blowin' me own trumpet a bit much lately, i know hehe...

    but just on fb under the heading of: What's your favorite lucid dream book?

    this guy just replied to him:

    Matthew Nakamura: Stephen LaBerge, Exploring the World of lucid dreaming. I’m currently reading, The WILD way to lucid dreaming by Brian Aherne.

    ***

    meaning, that from my pov it's kinda nice to be so casually lumped-in with
    old laberge like that?

    and that, with such a slider versus laberge scenario, he's effectively
    covered the 2 (opposite) sides of lucid dreaming: DILDs & WILDs!

    cool :)

    Ps. did you know, that before i actually published the wild way to lucid dreaming, that i wrote to laberge inviting him to read it, and, that if he liked it enough/approved, to maybe consider writing an introduction to it?
    (i was taking a bit of a chance but though he might, considering mine was
    the first of its kind dedicated to WILDs + the implications WILDs
    potentially has on lucid dreaming research in general etc...)

    i was only a month away from publication and just tiding up all the loose
    ends etc, and emailed him a very nice letter via his lucidity institute
    about it, only i never got to talk to him directly, and his staff (or
    whoever they were) were so vague and weird about the whole thing that it
    made me feel uncomfortable sending them an unprotected version of my work
    at the time, they said they'd passed my letter onto him but he never wrote
    back at all and so i eventually just dropped the whole thing... After publication, i forwarded a copy of it to him, but again never heard back...

    oh well, maybe he just hated it then lol :)

    he had to of liked it.
    and if he didn't, too bad.

    ### - if he was open minded & honest, yes, or at least begrudgingly so...

    otoh, it's potentially kinda embarrassing for him seeing as my work
    implies that he maybe overlooked the potential 'importance' of WILDs
    in-favour of going all-in on dilds (i.e., he went for the perhaps more traditional understanding & interpretation of sleep & dreaming + then that
    of waking up in an ordinary dream as being the raison d'etre of lucid
    dreaming per se, and then went on from there to define lucid dreaming
    almost exclusively from what turns out to be an incomplete/partial pov...)

    that even though he pioneered the advent of lucid dreaming from a public + scientific pov (putting dilds on the map so to speak) and is famous for
    having done so, he's accordingly kinda screwed because WILDs moves a now evolving story on from there proving he kinda missed the boat, something
    that will quite likely render quite a lot of his subsequent research
    redundant compared to the direction WILDs now takes us in...

    but he still retains his place in history for what he achieved: the
    grandfather of dild-doing from the rationalists & scientific pov...

    although what that then make me i dunno? the god-daddy of WILDs?

    or the WILDman or summat, mr WILDcard haha :)))

    (slider beats his cheast & does his best tarzan cry)

    aaahhhhh-eeeaaa-eeahhh-eeahhhhh-eeyaaa!

    ### - oh he did alright, was a big help, but laberge did it
    more respectably in rational/scientific terms thus getting
    it into the common dictionary kinda thing, whereas matey was
    more in the form of a cult thus leaving a question mark over it

    as such, laberge made it more universally available/acceptable

    cc kinda fizzled out but laberge's work still stands...

    i.e., after being the 'only' group on fb for WILDs for the last 3.5 years,
    an unidentified someone has now started a 2nd group for WILDs called, wait
    for it... 'WILD' :)

    oddly enough, they don't have any 'Admin' for their group?? (so how does
    that work?)

    didn't know you could have an 'admin-less' group? (iow they don't want to
    be identified eh?)

    bit strange that but then who cares haha, another group for WILDing can
    only be a good thing...

    and, is good competition for the other 50-plus fb groups for dilds and
    their various versions thereof!

    iow: WILDs are defo on their way peeps!

    so how cool is that :)

    imho very cool...

    the next step comes when it reaches the mainstream public in some form, probably as being a novel immersive entertainment on a par with VR, the

    time-consuming training.

    even the first nobel prize in that direction awarded & acclaimed as the
    Ph.D's in a new science of the mind/psyche mount up...

    where it all goes after that i can't say; will humanity's temperament &

    ### - have you ever experienced anything like that: 'Midway Point'? (like
    wow) ;)

    this is where our human awareness genuinely takes a journey into the
    unknown, an unknown that then turns out to be rather familiar in that
    we've apparently just been calling it something else all along, passively accessing it instead of actively accessing it making it all look & feel
    like something it's not...

    this midway point is the something 'new' in all this 'lucid dreaming'
    malarky, a point of departure, a jumping-off platform then to other
    aspects (and treasures) of one's own awareness & perception like never
    before, or maybe exactly like once before only we've forgotten in the
    meantime how to more actively access it all...

    and because, imho, it's obviously 'not' something new at all, and is
    actually something quite ancient that got turned into something else when
    the human race fell over, or whatever it was then that has caused us to
    all suffer from some kinda collective form of cultural amnesia; some kinda
    lost knowledge and history...

    (e.g., cue plato's description of a gigantic flood that utterly destroyed
    the previous civilisation, the survivors of which were left, like orphans,
    to raise themselves with no previous knowledge of their culture nor
    history etc, and of which we are their direct descendants...)

    and because from that pov it suddenly becomes glaringly obvious that we've
    all forgotten who & what we really are, and have thus been living a lie
    for millenia!

    WILDing, in that sense, is thus a return to a much older way of being, one perhaps based more on reality as it actually is as opposed to a reality we ourselves subsequently invented & made up just to pragmatically fill in
    the gaps in our understanding...

    i mean, screw all this societal crap heh; let's go home ;)

    added to which, have been wracking my brains recently tryin' to figure out
    a way to make these proposed videos?

    thoughts were along the lines of: needs a computer powerful enough & some modern software for HD, everything i gots is pre-HD & more than 10-years
    old! so started researching for parts but it was all beginning to add up cash-wise; damn, this wasn't gonna be cheap?? hah!

    hmm, requires at least a pentium i3 chip/cpu, maybe with an SSD hard drive
    + some sorta video card capable of rendering HD content, so then maybe someone's old games machine from ebay would do, not such a bad idea +
    doesn't have to be 'that' powerful, i mean geeze, am not exactly tryin' to compete with speilberg here! lol... 100 being the cheapest old rig on
    there, and then would also need some software too?

    ok, so let's have a look at the software... and 56-hundred different video packages later have gots me a headache already haha, damn; the better the software the more powerful needs to be the computer?? so where's the happy medium in my price range, round & round where does it all end?! wtf!

    threw my hands up & walked away from it lol, who needs the headache? plus
    ain't like i can just wave a magic money-wand and conjurer up such a kit,
    and then i gots to learn how to use it all as well? oh well back to the
    drawing board!

    geeze, all he wants to do is make a few simple videos but all 'this' is in
    the way before he even gets started?? tech supporrrt! it's a nightmare! :)

    and then outta the blue a complete... solution!

    fuck me! where did 'that' come from??

    hah the software solved it all :)

    a free, open-source video editing suite, with more bells & whistles than
    you can shake a stick at! (stupid expression) AND it's designed to run on
    very low-resource computers! and as such runs on the setup i already gots! fuckin' yaay! perfect! thank you VSDC :)))

    so, one day-in testing this little fecker out and takin' it for a spin; literally hacking my way through a veritable jungle of new buttons and
    clicks + god knows what does what around here buddy, but hard trial &
    error is my style, just wade in blind! ya soon finds out & ya don't forget anything that way... i know what i'd 'like' to see so how best to make it
    look & perform like that becomes the problem... now what happens if i
    clicks that one... D'OH!

    so anyway, 24 hours + around 200 mistakes and critical corrections + undo's/redo's later in a fairly steep learning curve heh, i gots me a
    first video! :)

    so ok, it's only a basic intro-plate, a kind of signature 10 to 20 second theme/intro (or logo then) that will appear at the beginning of all the
    videos in the series, that or something like it...

    and granted it doesn't look much and defo still needs tweaking/re-titling,
    even re-making completely heh, but actually proves the creation process
    from beginning to end using this particular software & rig...

    check it out :)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT3Qi0a8nLs

    next full chapter up: Introduction.

    just gimmie a month ok? should get quicker after that :)

    meanwhile it's: editing, editing, all is editing... sigh...

    oh and some voice-overs too!

    strange how quickly one can become used to the sound of one's own voice? (sounds weird at first heh)

    the feedback from attempting the voice-overs modulating my voice in such a
    way (making it flow more evenly) that am actually considering making my
    own audio book instead of advertising for a book-reader to do it? (been interviewing all kinds of 'voices' recently heh)

    better royalties that way too as ya don't have to share 'em 50/50 with the orator!

    so finish this video + maybe do a couple more for practice, and who knows,
    the audio-book version might not be too far behind as well eh?

    so anyhoo, by this time next year, the book should then be available in 5 languages (french, english, italian, spanish & portuguese), as an audio
    book (in english) together with a series of instructional vids on youtube
    + subtitles, all of which will, hopefully, take it beyond that of just
    facebook alone where it's all been concentrated until now...

    it's done pretty well via facebook, but needs to move out now more into
    the wild (pun intended) if it's ever gonna hit the mainstream public more,
    and the youtube videos should defo do that some + also bring more public attention to the book(s) + website as well...

    what a busy little 'b' i am eh!

    (b for bastard haha) :)

    ### - talkin' of crazy heh; it looks like we gots our first rough draft of
    the introduction video, with the emphasis on rough haha :)

    it's actually been quite interesting + am finally getting better (read: quicker) at handling the software, plus in some strange way it seems to be writing itself?

    have already gots all the basic material laid out in the book, of course,
    but composing it into a shortened video-form has been fairly challenging
    to keep simple but interesting + to also make it all flow, but feels like
    am just about getting there...

    and with say 10 to 15-minute videos for each section there would appear to
    be room for maybe up to 10 parts in all, possibly with even some extra supplemental ones later covering related topics like ap & obe, and other perhaps on-going discussions and discoveries too (thus adding an
    extra/related vid every 3 or 4 months thereafter maybe)

    allowing a month for each one this should keep me busy for the next few
    months or so then eh?

    lol if you'd told me 15 years ago i'd be doin' all this today i wouldn't
    have believed ya!

    back to work then heh + methinks am gonna pull an all-nighter on this
    tonite...

    up the workers! hah! :)))

    ### - well it's all happenin' here folks lol...

    i.e., i now see some actual light at the end of the tunnel on the video
    front? yaay :)

    (smile, am involving you guys in the making + launch of this first one,
    but after that will only bore ya's when another one in the series actually arrives...)

    so a week-of-tweakin' is all that now remains, plus that of maybe adding
    some panning/zooming effects to make things a little easier on the eye,
    ain't goin' for nuthin' too fancy here ya understand, ain't lookin' for no stinkin' oscars hah, and is more a power-point-type presentation than a
    video proper (they might gets a bit more fancy as i improve heh, but am
    aiming to keep things fairly simple throughout really...)

    the voice-overs are defo the hardest part by far to master geez, but
    luckily have some sound engineering experience to draw on from past
    experience and thus know a thing or 3 about making vocals sound better (compression gates & limiters + a spot of eq-ing etc etc) so there's still
    hope haha...

    all 'actual' glory goes to the gods of ZEN (really laffing) who've
    undoubtedly been lending more than a few helping hands behind the scenes
    lol...

    thanx fella's, i couldn't possibly have dun' it wiv'out ya's ;)

    jus' gimmie a week!

    ### - vanity, vanity, all is vanity...

    or as in my case: all is tappety-tappety on the keyboard for hours on end?
    lol ;)

    15 hours yesterday + 9-odd hours today (and i haven't even finish for
    today just yet...)

    and the time just flies past??

    can account for maybe 5 or 6 hours yesterday, that i remember, but the
    rest is a blur, ditto today...

    started in on this again this morning around 8am and the next thing i know
    it's 6 hours later?

    what seems to take only an hour actually takes 3 hours??

    wtf!? :)

    must be so absorbed in what am doin' i lose touch with the passage of time?

    the work is getting done, however, am very nearly there now :)

    there's a whole heap of polishing goin' on + trial-renderings of the
    finished item heh...

    plus each time i do that it's that much closer to being complete :)

    just a couple more days aught to do it i reckon...

    it's all coming together like a jigsaw with no picture on the box + am
    actually enjoying this now :)

    plus you've never heard such childish giggles of satisfaction as when i
    gets summat right with it that's been buggin' me haha; oscar wilde was
    right (a very apt name considering the subject matter heh) when he said
    that: "the only way to regain one's youth to to make one's mistakes
    all-over again..." haha...

    and well, doin' all this with the unfamiliar, am never gonna get that old

    grown to 1020 members + 3 book sales in the same period being quite
    possibly attributed to it as well :)

    video-2 is well in the pipeline and underway (75% complete! just gimmie
    another week!) apparently just about half the time it took to make the
    first one being only about learning the software? (cool)

    smile, iow another couple of vids down the line and wouldn't be too
    surprised if'n i can gets it all down to only a week or 10-days per shot...

    seems like am getting let-off the hard-er labour here?

    all you need to do to have a lucid dream is
    to believe that you are a dreamer. Say to
    yourself: "I AM a dreamer". Have the feeling
    you are a dreamer BECAUSE you are a dreamer already.
    You've been doing it since i don't know when.
    Christ babies are dreaming before they are born.
    Natural born dreamer I am.

    ### - this is someone else's kinda cute + very short vid (only 2.34
    minutes) re: learning to dild, with a quick mention of WILDs at the end
    albeit coming with a kind of health-warning to boot lol (WILDs are scary
    wooo) :)))

    silly feckers putting peeps off when sp is completely avoidable if you go
    in via the hypnagogia? duh! don't they know nuthin' yet?? (smile)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYSX51xBkos

    anyway, that's not really my beef, nor surprise here, but the fact that
    this tiny video has actually collected as many as, wait for it: 7,770,676
    (7.7 million!) views since being published on youtube in 2012??

    7.7 million??? jee-sus! that's roughly a million per year!?

    even assuming people watched it twice that's still 3.5-odd million people??

    and while this video is 'the' highest-ranking lucid dreaming video
    currently on youtube, it just goes to show the 'potential' size of the
    viewing audience out there we're dealin' with here? an audience that's
    still growing btw!

    would be perfectly content with only half a million views per vid myself
    hah, 9 videos collecting maybe 4 million hits between 'em over the next 3
    years or so would do? (laffing like a drain at the very idea of ever
    getting that many, riiiight lol...)

    but then: "anything could happen in the next half hour"? (ahem, ok best
    makes that 3-years or so innit) ;) otherwise: "Stand by for action!"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E06cNv55jTs

    hahaha :)))

    (mines currently only has 201 hits & 45 subscribers; aww he's still sooo

    weekend heh...)

    ### - clue/hint?

    "What we can do from inner silence is very similar to what is done in
    dreaming when one is asleep. However, when journeying through the dark sea
    of awareness, there is no interruption of any sort caused by going to
    sleep, nor is there any attempt whatsoever at controlling one's attention
    while having a dream. The journey through the dark sea of awareness
    entails an immediate response. There is an overpowering sensation of the
    here and now. Some idiotic sorcerers gave the name dreaming-awake to the
    act of reaching the dark sea of awareness directly, making the term
    dreaming even more ridiculous."

    that's all only for dilds?

    'feel' like a dreamer my eye hah, feel it 'after' you've done it is
    better/more correct...

    how to have sex! feel like you've dun it before and it'll all work out??
    (lol riiight)

    how else would ya even know what it feels like? (j/k here)

    nah, all that dildo 'crap' (heh) is redundant mate!

    i mean, who needs to wish, hope and 'feel' (heh) like a dreamer beforehand
    in order to do it, when ya can just 'do' it because ya know how? because
    one has discovered that those hypnagogia are an actual key that literally
    opens that door! throws the damn thing wide open and then rocks it off its hinges eventually to boot heh...

    dilds? nah, whose gots the time (months & years literally!) to bother
    learning all that nonsense, when ya's can do WILDs in only a fortnight
    instead using exactly the same effort??

    lol people have no idea yet what ya can do with WILDS & WILDing heh, which
    is so much more than just lucid dreaming it's a joke...

    (that 'Midway Point' maan, that's where it's really at ya know, and 'coz there's yer genuine "portal of intent" right there and for real! wooo...)

    is gonna take a while for 'em to discover that tho...

    ### - continuing on that same note heh...

    "One of the most coveted results of inner silence is a specific interplay
    of energy, which is always heralded by a strong emotion. Such an interplay manifests itself in terms of hues that are projected on any horizon in the world of everyday life, be it a mountain, the sky, a wall, or simply the
    palms of the hands.

    This interplay of hues begins with the appearance of a tenuous brushstroke
    of lavender on the horizon. In time, this lavender brush-stroke starts to expand until it covers the visible horizon, like advancing storm clouds. A
    dot of a peculiar, rich, pomegranate red shows up, as if bursting from the lavender clouds. As sorcerers become more disciplined and experienced, the
    dot of pomegranate expands and finally explodes into thoughts or visions,
    or in the case of a literate man, into written words; sorcerers either see visions engendered by energy, hear thoughts being voiced as words, or read written words.

    There's nothing gentle about sorcerers or sorcery. The first time that
    infinity descends on you it may be a total takeover of your faculties.
    Insofar as the speed of your visions is concerned, you yourself will have
    to learn to adjust it. For some sorcerers, that's the job of a lifetime.
    Energy may appear to you as if it were being projected onto a movie
    screen. Whether or not you understand what's projected is another matter.
    In order to make an accurate interpretation you need experience.

    My recommendation is that you shouldn't be bashful, and you should begin
    now. Your true mind is emerging, and it has nothing to do with the mind
    that is a foreign installation . Let your true mind adjust the speed. Be silent, and don't fret, no matter what happens. Anyway, infinity chooses.
    The warrior-traveler simply acquiesces to that choice. But above all,
    don't be overwhelmed by the event because you cannot describe it. It is an event beyond the syntax of our language."

    ### - oh you've dun it alright heh, a few times now?

    which means something somewhere inside ya knows exactly what that all
    means ;)




    (reminds me of a joke from the 60's, a
    friend of mine use to use on people:
    "Call it what you like as long as you eat it"
    lol!

    ### - language is a fickle bitch for sure haha, but call it anything ya
    like is right (we need new/more accurately descriptive names & terms) but something based on actual experience rather than myth & belief?

    obviously, there's sleeping dreams 'and' waking ones; the fact that we lose/lessen our dialogue in dreaming accounting for why dilds happen: ya
    gets a touch of inner silence whilst dreaming; so they're the same ability
    as WILDs albeit performed during actual sleep! so would have to say the
    more difficult of the two?

    WILDing then is the 'real' (i.e. primary) ability we all have but never
    use, and which is sometimes inadvertently reflected in the lucid dreaming
    we then call dilds, whereas WILDs are exactly the same thing accomplished
    more directly and deliberately while you're awake!

    i.e., from the WILDs pov, and the way it radically alters one's sleeping arrangements to suit, it's like one would never have to do dilds again? at least not deliberately! WILDs alters the whole 'concept' of sleep &
    sleeping! 'sleep' doesn't exist! i mean, why sleep if ya don't have to??
    and with WILDs ya don't have to!

    ya gets enough re-charge from WILDs (minimum 2 hours worth) not to need to sleep!

    why sleep?? (laffing)

    only babies sleep! haha...

    and because, at said midway point, language dies-away as something more immediate surfaces?

    now here's where we can actually see the end from the beginning heh, or
    rather; any answers come paired with the questions? (can't put it any
    better than that) - you formulate a question and you immediately know the answer! and it's this inner-knowing that prevails?

    at this point one can do/perform wondrous things in that void, including
    that of being in several places at the same time? (like wtf is that?? lol)
    or are we perhaps actually doing that all the time anyway but only under
    such circumstances does one become aware of it all? (i suspects summat
    like that heh)

    smile, it all only really 'makes-sense' when you're actually doing it, not
    when you're talkin' about it like here; here we think we can know things in-advance but know 'eff-all, whereas 'there' we only know things in the immediate Now ;)

    'inner' knowing (or silent knowledge, or whatever ya wants to call it) is completely different to reason, it just 'knows' shit rather than having to figure things out? and it seems to know everything lol, least-ways i can't
    seem to find a limit to it as yet...

    so, is it perhaps having access to the sum-total of all our memories, both subconscious & conscious? (in which case we merely know more than we
    rationally suspect) or could it even that of maybe tapping into some kinda innate knowledge inherent in the universe itself??

    i really dunno...

    but anyone can tap-into it, and possibly often do if they but realised it
    ;)

    ### - hey, after 10-days the new vid's not doin' too bad, with now 237 hits/views and 51 subscribers to show for itself :)

    interestingly enough, in the stats they show that 12% of that traffic came
    from within youtube itself (the rest coming from facebook) which basically means a 'new' 12% of viewers gots to see it just from stumbling across it
    on youtube and/or from searching for stuff like lucid dreaming on there...

    part-2 in the series is almost finished now too! (98% complete) :)

    it's gonna be around 3 minutes longer @ 12.21 but surprisingly also only
    took 11 days (including tomorrow) to complete, so am rather pleased with
    that (means can do 2 per month instead of only 1 hah)

    have left the vocals till last to polish; just needs to take all the
    splutters, hesitations, breaths, farts, pulls on a joint & hacking coughs
    etc, out of it hahaha...

    and then it's done!

    (i prolly gots bags under my eyes down to me' feckin' elbows lol but it's done!)

    hehehe :)))

    ### - part 2 - Ways To Relax - is now complete and currently in-process of being uploaded :)

    so it'll be available then in around about 3 hours from now? all 1.6 gig
    of it! (lol)

    and that's for only 12.5 minutes worth of video??

    how peeps can then upload full-length HD movies i just don't know!

    (must have a pipeline to youtube lol fiber-connections hah...)

    still gots to do the subtitles for it after the upload, youtube very
    handily providing a free service there that REALLY helps! i.e. ya upload
    any video, and if ya click the appropriate buttons youtube will do a transcription of what it thinks is the dialogue in subtitle-form along
    with all the really important complex timing & frame numbers, you then
    download the file & correct any mistranslated bits (it's about 80%
    accurate) and re-upload it: done! a great service afaic...

    interestingly enough, the youtube community are then, if you invite them, likely to submit alternate translations of your subtitles into as many as
    30 different languages for free and from which viewers can then select!? (brilliant!)

    so a big-tick to whomever thought up that one eh? :)

    ### - lol @ holdin' your breath haha :)))

    seriously tho'... it's done!

    plus did i say 3 hours to upload? nope, better make that 5.5 hours lol :)

    and then there's all the little details to fill in etc etc, AND the
    subtitles (which am currently workin' on right now and have only stopped
    to let ya's know it's up on there...)

    https://youtu.be/zb7DYGEDhZI

    remember, this is basically all for newbies to the whole subject, so it
    all starts off fairly simply (with 'Part-1: introduction') and then walks
    them through the process, vid-by-vid, gradually increasing in complexity
    each time until they finally have the whole thing in a nutshell...

    imagine the potential complexity of the final chapter/installment for
    example?

    'The Philosophy Of Lucid Dreaming' (should be quite challenging to make
    huh)

    anyway, i guess now it's onto the next one: 'Part 3 - 'Hypnagogia: The Key
    To WILDS'

    couple of days to start, and then this next one should be plenty visual
    fun hehe...

    enjoy :)

    lol and must've happened during that last sound check, whatever i did
    pulled the entire middle right out of it...

    oh well, has to be rendered again now with that correction (1.5 hours) -
    and then another 5.5 hours uploading it to YT as well; it's enough to make
    ya wanna schpit? no sleep for slider then haha...

    nuthin' else for it i guess + thank goodness hadn't announced it yet on
    fb, although my subscribers (who're automatically informed whenever a new
    vid is added) are defo gonna be a bit surprised when it disappears and is published again heh, but better now than later huh...

    what else can a poor boy do :)

    (slider made a boo-boo by not immediately playing it over once uploaded
    hah + what a shame old jeremy ain't still around; he would've defo enjoyed
    that slip...)

    ### - our rising star (Mary) posted this question in the WILDs & WILDing
    group today:

    "Hi peeps, who of you. practicing wild, does see the blackness like a
    crystal glass? I often find myself into a darkness/void dimension that
    looks like a big glass plate, but I don't know what this is..... Thank
    you."

    (i replied...)
    It's the Midway Point Mary :)

    And is sooo 'new' no one really knows anything about it yet!

    There IS a perfect solution to your question though, and all you have to
    do is to ask this same question when you're AT the Midway Point!

    'Silence' comes to us in the Midway Point, and in that silence is a
    profound knowledge & understanding of anything we enquire about - Anything!

    I have my own understanding of what this Midway Point is all about, but
    it's an inner-understanding that's almost impossible to put into words
    because that same understanding comes/arises from the silence itself...
    And yet i totally understand it when am there, so much so am able to use
    it to do many really quite amazing things (like being in several places at
    the same time haha, go figure...)

    This is indeed very strange but is also totally fascinating, and only makes-sense from that Midway Point pov :)

    ***

    another dude suggested this:
    "it might just be the boundary of awareness? Maybe youre talking about
    what lucidology calls like the projection screen of the imagination."


    and i replied to him:
    It's definitely a lot more than just that :)

    imho, it's us at our peak and/or optimum position to operate soberly
    from... You will find true-self in that place (or a true-er self then at least, one that knows things innately instead of having to figure things
    out)

    It 'appears' (and i chose my words carefully, albeit subjectively) to be somewhere 'between' waking and WILDing, thus midway...

    But this could just be a wholly subjective impression because of the
    seemingly resulting 'equality' of everything one does from that point on
    (e.g., the option to awaken fully becomes totally equal to the option to
    step into a full WILD etc) - a kind of central pivotal-point then, which becomes obviously the case once you're in it...

    A kind of springboard and/or jumping-off platform if you like because everything one attempts 'from' that pov is successful, albeit sometimes in strikingly novel ways...

    ***

    many, in different groups, are now reported encountering this 'dark-void'
    in one form or another and are wondering what it is, peeps have been
    perhaps a bit s-l-o-w in getting there heh (people are slow) but the
    inevitable questions about it are indeed beginning to arise...

    (cue a bunch of territorial-apes suspiciously touchin' & sniffin' a
    strange dark monolith that's suddenly appeared right outside their front
    door haha...)

    ### - (laffing...) was just lookin' into the possibility of maybe somehow 'wrapping' that monolith in the clip with the cover of my book? hahaha :)))

    unfortunately, am currently unable to engineer it to be so haha (only 60% there! shame) as i think that'd be really quite funny lol, although no
    doubt contrary to some people's taste...

    might even go viral if'n i did it just right (good advertising?) ;)

    but skew, twist & rotate-perspective, just isn't effective enough in this software to make it look acceptable (must be a way to do it just dunno
    how, it's too complex & would likely take hours...)

    but would be a lotta fun if i could pull it off tho' lol... :D

    maybe green-screen chroma-key is the ultimate solution here (haven't used
    this yet) but still have to skew the cover to the right angles to fit as
    the clip develops and moves, or it looks shit...

    imagine a tv ad like that for example? and street posters lol

    damn funny idea anyway :)))

    it was just a screen, like the one the viewer is watching the movie.

    ### - the midway point is not just a screen although it might appear like
    one, it's actually a place in awareness like lucid dreaming is a place in awareness; a 'configuration' of awareness actually, imho she's merely
    viewing it from being just outside of it; seeing it as an area (a view
    then of the dark sea of awareness itself perhaps) ;)

    it's not the same as daily waking awareness for example...

    truth is, you've been/passed-through it consciously 100's of times already
    heh, maybe even 1000's of times, everybody does it unconsciously
    otherwise, e.g., your very first WILD was likely a product of it
    considering how you entered into it: directly with no hypnagogia; a key
    feature of entering into a lucid dream state from the pov of said midway
    point! (it's also what happens when peeps use wbtb for example; there's no hypnagogia just an instant entry...)

    it's rare for peeps to isolate it as a feature while dilding is all, they encounter it occasionally (it all goes dark and then they wake up etc) but dismiss it as maybe just being part of the waking up process (which it certainly is if ya want it to be, point is you can go anywhere from there
    but people aim for waking up and so that's wot they gets...)

    i personally doubt anyone can isolate it correctly from a dild pov, but it takes only a few WILDS to notice it? especially if those few WILDs are all performed in the same session; then it becomes unmistakable!

    everyone's still got lucid dreaming on their mind is all hehe, that's all they's lookin' for currently, i was exactly the same too: couldn't wait to lucid dream! that's what it was aaall about alright: lucid dreaming!

    only it's not hehehe...

    lucid dreaming (or rather: the ability to enter directly into an altered
    state of consciousness and maintain it throughout) is only 'one' of the
    things we can all do! there's a whole bunch of other stuff too! stuff that 'makes-sense' of lucid dreaming itself and gives it a firm place in the
    overall scheme of things rather than merely being some odd + isolated
    quirk of entertainment value only in itself...

    i.e., currently, people are only looking for lucid dreaming so that's
    what's going on, only now they've gots a midway point to go with that too,
    and that's eventually gonna change their whole perspective + view of the
    whole damn thing because it reveals what lucid dreaming actually is & ultimately means :)

    and what does it mean?

    it means/spells a complete change of awareness to something a little more 'inclusive' shall we say hehe, something wider and no culo-expanders
    required hah ;)

    it's an upgrade! :)))

    it's just something unknown to them innit, summat new, something that raises/upgrades their perception, and the next thing ya know they's usin'
    tools and then flyin' through space and shit hah, they've peaked on that upgrade, and then in the movie another something new arrives to upgrade us again...

    i.e., was originally thinkin' that this midway point thing is perhaps
    similar; the encounter with something dark & unknown that radically alters their perception of what lucid dreaming is really all about etc...

    ### - (slider takes a tea-break heh) - the new videos ain't doin' too bad
    as it goes, collecting just about '30-hours' now of actual viewing time
    between them + a total of 412 hits/views (not to mention 62 subscribers)
    in only 20 days & 8 days respectively since their launch...

    but which is still, however, a far cry lol from the average of 12,000 hits/views PER-DAY required to reach 2.2 million hits in only 6 months??
    (still can't figure that one out hah; those are impossible numbers?! ridiculous!)

    work on No.3 continues apace (is 70% complete) but still needs about 5 or
    6 days graft...

    wouldn't mind this one ending up as being the currently definitive visual account of what hypnagogia looks like? it's got lots of competition out
    there, albeit they're all rather brief...

    am thus aiming to fix that situation some with a visual-feast hehe;
    hypnagogia in all its developing glory and then some? some of the shit
    have seen at the hypnagogic-movies is literally outta' this world! from
    plain + quite ordinary scenes you wouldn't look at twice, to 3-dimensional rolling scenery that's beyond mere imagination, the details of which can
    be astounding/breath-taking in their depth & scale! the subconscious mind,
    once cued, just dumping its contents right before ya like an unfolding + endless fractal flower without end geez... a very cool experience even if
    ya never lucid dream!

    it's no less than the imagination unleashed and given total free-play! and
    it's very kewl...

    someone could/should publish an in-depth modern paper/book just on this phenomenon alone

    ### - smile, she's doin' so well have set our 'mary' an advanced dreaming
    task today on fb heh ;)

    here's what i said/suggested:

    Hi Mary, i have a little extra practice for you if you would like to try
    it :)

    Next time you are in the void/midway point and everything is dark, ask to
    go into a lucid dream...

    Go into the dream and from that pov look back to see if you can still
    see/feel the void...

    When you can see it go back into the midway point/void again...

    Do this several times, each time it will become easier & faster until you
    can do it almost instantly at will and on-demand...

    Do it rapid enough and you can then be in 2 places at the same time, plus
    see & feel both places at the same time...

    After this, stand at the midway point again and do exactly the same thing,
    only this time with standing at the midway point and laying down in bed...

    With practice you will then be able to be in all 3 places at the same time haha, a very strange experience that only makes sense at the time and
    while you are doing it - but it does makes sense and will advance your
    ability :)

    ***

    basically, what happens when ya do that, consolidates everything ya know
    about being able to WILD into a far more immediate and readily available ability + also puts a person in-touch with that inner-knowing & detachment thingy have mentioned before...

    jeremy scoffed at the very idea of such 'detachment' but am tellin' ya
    it's real enough!

    detachment you can touch/feel directly? - 'embody' even!

    it's feels like... growing up ;)

    of all things :)))

    some hippy-type collective living there has apparently read it and would
    like to share it there as there's not much in hungarian knocking about in
    that country about these kind of subjects, the woman concerned is
    apparently some kind of professional translator having worked on
    translating several fairly important books and tv shows to date, so it
    sounds genuine & should go well...

    ### - number 3 in the series: Hypnagogia - The Key To WILDs - has just
    been uploaded & is now available :)

    it only took 5 hours to upload lol (big feckin' file! plus another hour
    for the captions :)))

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKReShUHV2o

    did i perhaps go a bit 'over the top' with it do ya think?

    pictures do indeed sometimes paint 1000 words, or even just a few
    choice-words when it's a difficult subject, either way am fairly happy
    with it heh, methinks it does the job? :)

    that first little trio of vids being the core-practice in a nutshell they
    can now stand alone + will also add more future videos to them to further expand the subject & fill-in a few of the blanks...

    that first 3 being mainly just about getting there, number 4 will then
    deal with handling oneself in the dream state once you've arrived in order
    to prolong the experience...

    besides all that; am knackered mate! (dog-tired iow haha...) having spent
    the last nearly 48 continuous hours working solely on completing this one (yawn...)

    smile, it's time for a good long WILD in order to recharge the old
    batteries hehe...

    have nearly flatted the damn thing out! (laffing)

    a chat :)

    "It is very interesting watching them start appearing. For me the first of
    the hypnagogia start right when my hands start feeling like the are
    expanding and contracting.

    And then some nights it almost feels the hypnagogia start within minutes
    of getting into bed, almost like my body is just priming itself through
    the relaxation stage."

    an interesting observation on his part, as his body obviously learns to
    really do this & even anticipates (starts looking-forward to) doing it
    again haha...

    well, it does make ya feel very nice afterwards innit? :)

    and it happens here too, in that many times now can feel that feeling in
    my hands and am nowhere near a bed or lying down? obviously then under
    normal circumstances we totally ignore any & all such sensations and just
    shrug them off, having no place in our daily awareness they're actively filtered out until it's a completely automatic reflex to do so...

    it would seem then that our daily awareness is thus a kind of
    balancing-act, and that, just like when learning to walk, we had to
    struggle like anything to put all the different bits together, piece by
    piece, structurally, in order to make a perceptual whole we can then
    relate exclusively to (very neat trick that!), one that perforce excludes distracting factors like the awareness of anything other than the daily mechanical world of nuts & bolts alone!

    in then throwing out the resulting bathwater, we also threw away half of ourselves in the process until everything became stuck like that?
    effectively blindfolding ourselves into the bargain just so we can see
    what we wanna see and nada else...

    ('subtle' things & sensations! we're not at all attuned to listening to
    any of that stuff; so if it doesn't hit us over the head with force we
    don't even notice it hehe...)

    we've become a species of knuckleheads lol :)))

    did i perhaps go a bit 'over the top' with it do ya think?

    no, it's an excellent roadmap, all one has to do is keep driving.

    ### - cool + got particularly excited about the part with the small square
    in the center of the screen + the direction to then stare straight ahead
    and not let your eyes wander away from that area, something that's
    surprisingly difficult to explain to people in order to get them to keep
    their eyes still + also the solution to it...

    oddly enough, if you do that with the video itself you even catch a
    glimpse of the actual effect as you can't help but view what's outside of
    that smaller area at the same time, albeit only out of the corner of your
    eyes (very cool effect actually, a bit like those magic-eye pictures that become 3-D as you look at them? to let the images pass by your window
    without twitching your eyes to follow them any, even just within that
    square, takes practice to gaze through them... the end result being very similar to what is actually required to see details in the hypangogia...)

    ### - some youtube stats + some corrections to those stats after
    discovering a few bits didn't know about heh :)

    the 'full' 10-year stats being slightly different to what have quoted
    before, but as of today + with now 4 new videos uploaded in the last 30
    days, we've now gots a full total of:

    12.7K total lifetime views, 651.6 lifetime accumulated hours of watched
    video & 77 subscribers :)

    with quite a big blip of that coming in the last 30 days :)

    the 4 new vids having now collected 709 views between them, albeit 2 of
    those were only published yesterday & the day before and so are only just getting some exposure...

    and so i guess now it's onto the next one then huh: 'how not to crap-out
    once the dream begins' (although will prolly review that last title some,
    tidy it up a bit hehe)

    how NOT to behave like a total ASSHOLE in dreaming! (nah, but good name
    for a funny book? haha)

    chris is thinking' about writing one aren't ya mate?

    'I shagged everything that moved in dreaming!' perforce which has a kinda confessional-tone to it? hehe :)

    Oh, and that other one too: 'God Always Wears White Suit'

    in a lucid dream once (awhile back) i asked to 'see' god in
    the dream. It showed me in a three-piece suit, off color white
    but nonetheless a suit. so i guess I AM a god, not the one and
    only God but a god. I guess we all are gods. We all come from
    the same source, we all have basically the same spark of that.
    Whatever 'that' is. i be god, you be god, we are altogether.
    Except i don't have no church or any rules to follow. I'll never
    ask for money but feel free to send as much as you like. ha ha.

    ### - came across this in my travels hah, someone selling a cd/mp3 about WILDing?

    for only $21!?

    https://hemi-sync.com/product/wake-induced-lucid-dreaming/

    haven't heard this, and am unlikely to considering part of the blurb says
    it includes a free handout titled: "Performing a Reality Check." - lol
    there they go mixing apples and oranges again??

    don't need no stinkin' reality-checks for WILDs ya daft twat! (laffing...)

    even so, it's still good to see 'other' things for WILDs emerging even if
    it's not yet quite correct, any corrections undoubtedly coming later when
    all the disparate info eventually gets consolidated at some point and conclusions drawn that puts any doubts and/or quibbles behind us forever concerning such minutiae...

    fuck me, $21 for a 45 minute cd??

    lol where the feck does he thinks he's going for his vacations already?? :P

    can download his mp3-version for only 15 bucks though hah!

    damn, maybe have been going about this all wrong??

    ### - it's better known as milking it lol...

    a kinda hypnosis thing; he 'guides' ya through it etc?

    (don't like that...)

    look into my eyes and i'll 'hypnotise' ya into being... free??

    riiight... :)))

    unfortunately, people like the idea of having things 'done' for them?

    a magic pill or some kinda potion, even hypnosis!

    'anything' so they don't have to actually 'do' anything themselves?

    e.g., one guy left the group a few months ago, complaining that he was
    going back to dilds because ya *don't* have to 'do' anything at bedtime to
    get them? lol...

    (for sure if ya don't mind waiting forever to get one! dilds are all about waiting like a plum for summat to happen!)

    so could i make a dvd perhaps? (smile) when there's about 12 videos it
    might be possible to wrap 'em up in a dvd format, for sure they can watch
    them for free via youtube but all in one handy package might work,
    especially if'n it included a kindle & audio-book version too? (gots to do
    an audio-book version at some point anyway; there's peeps out there can't read!)

    'might' get away with such a bundle for 19.99 kinda thing? and just
    offered as an extra option/format perhaps...

    perforce the 'down-loadable' version would be much cheaper haha! (gotta
    laff innit)

    gimmie all yer money!!! LOL :)))

    ### - nice gal just posted this in the group, and which seems topical
    in-light of our discussing hypnagogia + also that of matey's cd hehe:

    Sandra Kogler: I also listened to that instruction for WILDs - while
    falling asleep - and I was also amazed how fast the hypnagogic images
    changed and how they became continuously clearer and more complex and then started to entail movement, like short video clips. Finally, I saw a man
    who was dressed in dark clothes and in the next moment I found myself in a situation where I felt an arm around my neck and dreamt that I was being strangled and robbed; and then I remembered myself that I was dreaming and
    was superhappy to know that I can definitely defend myself successfully
    cauz it's MY dream. And as soon as I got rid of the robber the scene
    changed and I started to explore my dream abilities. It was amazing. Thank
    you so much for your instructions Brian Aherne!!!

    ***

    i.e., here's someone whose now learned to see the hypnagogia no problemo,
    her brief encounter with some kinda "robber" likely being some kinda repressed/suppressed fear particular to her, often the kind of thing that stands/acts as a barrier to any further progress for some peeps as when
    they get sp and are attacked, but which she totally smashed out of her way simply from the waking-realisation alone that she didn't need put up with
    this! and didn't! (you'd prolly just get murdered in a dild haha) :)

    that barrier passed-through, the rest started to open right up + i doubt
    she'll have any more problems gaining spectacular + far eas-ier entries
    from now on, routinely...

    good stuff, which imho is very encouraging for others to see, and also as
    an injunction to them to just get-on with it and stop messin' around
    wasting time ;)

    ### - haha another one has popped his cherry :)))

    Mitja Mäki-Opas: First WILD
    I didn't count the practise it took. But the correct amount is the amount
    that it takes! I never really got the part of observing hypnagogia so i'm
    a bit confused. I was seeing patterns for like 5 seconds and then i was
    pulled in by a bright white light. It felt like i fell from the sky and
    then a castle started emerging from the ground. Omg that was amazing! I
    just waited for the castle to stop moving and a loud noise to disappear.
    Fully lucid and the most vivid so far.

    ***

    this kinda openly sceptical dude has been knockin' on the door on & off
    for a while now (which imho & observation is often half the problem with
    peeps getting started: their lack of daily consistency) but has obviously recently then made an effort only to be immediately amply rewarded with
    his first ever full WILD almost straight away!

    that's some reward! i think he's surprised haha...

    heh...

    such early days eh? plus how many more 1000's of views they'll ultimately receive is just about anyone's guess at this juncture, it could be good or

    next year huh...

    my babies! (awww...) they so cute? (grinz + laffing...)

    parts 1 thru 4 now complete, it starts getting a little more difficult in
    terms of complexity and thus my ability to portray those more difficult subjects pictorially?

    e.g., the next 2 episodes (levels of lucidity & the midway point) being
    fine to talk about, but how exactly to back that up with
    appropriate-enough images? (hey speilberg c'mere!)

    i haven't gots a clue lol, and so will just have to stumble & fumble my

    ### - been selling quite a few copies to germany of late and wondered why?

    and then someone sent me a translation of that german comment on my
    website wishing to discuss it, which i didn't realise is actually quite in-depth & well written...

    it says:

    "I bought this book because I have been trying to induce regular /
    constant lucid dreams for over 5 years and so far have not had any notable success.

    For years I have tried to induce lucid dreams with DILD technology, which
    works more or less. My greatest success was in 2014, where I made up to 10 lucid dreams a month. Unfortunately, you could never be sure whether or
    not you would have a lucid dream again in the next dream, because with
    DILD technology you regain consciousness from the dream and thus have a
    lucid dream. Up until now I had almost ignored the WILD technique because
    it is described as a difficult technique on the Internet. Especially in
    the evening you should have little success with the technology. It is recommended that you first sleep for 5-6 hours and then use WILD. (Which
    is frankly not my case)

    I have now read the book for almost 1 1/2 weeks and have already read a
    little bit about the WILD technology. Here it is explained step by step
    what has to be considered with the technology and how to prepare for it perfectly. The basic WILD technology without "frills" is explained. Above
    all, the author wants to convey to the reader that the technology is not difficult, as can often be read on the Internet. With a little practice
    you can induce lucid dreams on demand. You keep your awareness of the
    process until you are in a dream.

    Briefly about my previous successes within just under 2 weeks: 4 short
    lucid dreams (2-3 seconds because I was very excited) 2 long lucid dreams
    (one about 5 minutes - the other about 10-15 minutes)

    I successfully performed 3 of the 6 lucid dreams in the evening.
    (Including the 2 long lucid dreams) I was able to induce the other 3 lucid dreams during an afternoon nap.

    In a nutshell: The book helped me a lot to understand what is important to carry out the WILD technology cleanly. More importantly, I find that the
    author tells you that WILD is not as difficult as it is described on the Internet. I can currently agree with that - but it is a bit more difficult
    at first to get used to the preparation. The success speaks for itself and
    it has been a long time since I had so many lucid dreams in such a short
    time. Everyone should form their own opinion - in any case, I am very
    satisfied and hope that the lucid dreams will continue."

    ***

    which is, well hell; a terrific amazon review from back in aug 2016, so
    peeps from germany must have been somehow reading this of late and going
    for it and that's why they's buying it...

    that was a great review, that dude is talking from
    good, clean experience. The only thing that amazes
    me now is why we DON'T have a lucid or wake induced
    dream every night. How is it possible to not have awareness in
    every dream henceforth?

    ### - exactly! so maybe there was a time when WILDing was the norm? (a
    species of shamans that maybe knew exactly what they were doing?)

    and then we gots all 'civil-ised' or summat and can't do shit ever since?
    haha ;)

    and yet it's all still there just under the surface if one cares to
    scratch it!

    imagine kids learning it and comparing notes in the schoolyard instead of bashing each other up? (smile, well one can always live in hope anyway
    huh) plus what they'd then be like when they grew up being aware of being
    part of a vastly bigger + far more interesting world?

    smile, i got to this exact same point/spot re: how come we haven't 'all'
    been doing this all our lives already??

    plus why do we have ordinary random/useless dreams every night when we can
    so easily WILD throughout instead?? we have choice! so where did our
    'choice' go??

    turns out, it's simply & solely because no one ever told us we can do it!?
    we were told to get to sleep instead?

    no fucker knew! (or if they did they kept it all to themselves and
    considered themselves better-off/special or whatever, duh...)

    plus, the more you WILD the easier it gets (i mean really easy!) + the
    more it then makes you wonder how we didn't know about this before, and
    then, with hindsight, you can start to see all the incidences where you deliberately blanked/ignored-it, and/or dismissed it as being something
    else that you weren't interested in because it had no place in our daily routines! no place whatsoever! feelin' weird/different in any way disturbs
    us!

    hey are you ok? - oh sorry, i was nearly drifting-off there wasn't i,
    silly me, i think i was just having a strange dream there? yes well stop daydreaming you idiot 'coz we've got other far more important things to do right now! save your dreaming for bedtime! (kinda thing...)

    no one fuckin' told us?? DUH!

    plus what ELSE aren't we being told??? (lol)

    so what's next? goddamn flyin' saucers or summat?? (fuck off lol)

    what comes 'next' is a very overdue: expansion of awareness!

    and THEN we'll understand things in a completely different manner!

    a bigger/wider way, one that includes more of the rest of nature & the
    universe instead of only our own shitty little backyards all the time heh
    ;)

    my record is still only 7-days WILDing on the trot but never 8 (at least
    not so far) as something always happens that changes/stops it from
    becoming routine, have even stopped trying anymore and am more content to
    just go with da-flow, the result being a topsy-turvey sleep pattern with
    hardly any routine to it whatsoever lol, ya WILD, ya remain awake for a
    long while feelin' excellent, and then suddenly you tire and you know you
    have to rest (it can be resisted if you need to stay awake for longer) but
    a couple of hours WILDing tops me right up and then am glowin' again for several more hours on full-charge haha (that's what it feels like
    anyway... hence all my theories re that's what it's really all about
    instead of the pigs-ear we've ultimately made of it all, i was tryin' to
    figure it out?)

    heh, i'll borrow/pinch that line from john fowles book 'The magus' and
    from which they made the movie 'The Game', in which he says to the 'new'
    guy: "i envy you your journey" (i.e., because you can only be sooo
    surprised just the once at the things you subsequently discover haha)

    meaning? if you're now asking questions like 'that' then i know exactly
    where you're coming from 'and' how ya gots there! ('coz i came by exactly
    the same route!)

    lol, so if am anything to go by you's gonna be scratchin' your head for
    ages? (i know i was haha)

    and because all the answers you seek are right there and will indeed flabbergast you :)

    what is it they say? "that from you step upon a path you then begin to see
    it everywhere"?

    damn right! smile...

    that was a great review, that dude is talking from
    good, clean experience. The only thing that amazes
    me now is why we DON'T have a lucid or wake induced
    dream every night. How is it possible to not have awareness in
    every dream henceforth?

    ### - and he did it in under 14 days to-boot??

    there's only been one other dude who did it quite so quickly in 11-days
    (our current fb record for a total newbie) and must have done everything
    just right from the off (i.e., every day without fail until making the breakthrough etc...)

    others take considerably longer, due mostly, i suspect, to not applying a daily-regime to the equation (having a go for maybe 3 days and quitting,
    then next week trying again once or twice on different days and then
    leaving it for another week etc etc) whereas after about a week of a
    regime something inside us kinda gives-in to the incessant knocking and
    the hypnagogia starts turning up, a few days of that usually being enough
    to tweak it accordingly + enough to bring it all into focus, and that's
    it; the very next step is a WILD!

    and ain't exactly rocket science is it heh ;)

    ### - Part-5 - Levels of Lucidity' - is now just about complete (96%) the
    last few tweaks and adjustments currently going in it should be finished
    by tomorrow, and then available after that from say xmas eve onwards or
    just before...

    and basically, with that one done, this now completes the newbies (foundational) course, anything beyond this point being really of a more advanced level/nature, starting with: 'The Midway Point'

    a subject newbies are unlikely to be very interested in until they've successfully first mastered being able to actually get 'into' a WILD with
    more ease... a subject they'll inevitably return to though with questions 'after' they've started bumping into it and can now somewhat recognise the reference point involved...

    'The Midway Point' (and the one after that: 'Lucid dreaming On-Demand')
    will complete the series of 9, other, supplemental vids on topical +
    equally advanced subjects, being added later, such as: 'The Making of
    Genius', in which standing at said midway point and asking questions is incredibly similar to what many famous characters throughout history have reported doing in one form or another, thereby obtaining startlingly novel answers to age-old problems; solutions that rocked the planet!

    the list of which is extensive, and includes the likes of: tesla, edison, einstein, socrates & srinivasa ramanujan to name but a few! and all well documented! ramanujan, for example, describes entering into some kind of altered/hypnagogic state wherein he regularly saw a ghostly hand writing mathematical symbols on a wall and which he duly memorised and transcribed
    upon awakening, advanced formulas that has ultimately blown (and continues
    to blow) his fellow mathematicians minds!

    another advanced chapter being: 'The Philosophy Of Lucid Dreaming' which
    should be quite challenging, and which will/should be more something like
    a TED-talk, only without my ugly mush being shoved down your neck haha
    (don't need that bit lol, none of this is about moi...)

    there could also be a little something about obe & astral projection and
    the perils of sp (plus an attempt at maybe finding a unifying
    factor/theory to all the different approaches perhaps) and another shorty
    re insomnia + a potential cure for same by understanding just exactly
    'how' the sleep-process actually works and what can go wrong with it... something which i heavily suspect is all down to peeps losing (or somehow otherwise damaging) their 'unconscious' ability to deal with the
    hypnagogia - no hypnagogia no sleep! it's really as simple as that! (or
    could well be in many instances)

    what else... oh yeah, there's a good chance something debating (or rather: starting-off a debate) will be forthcoming re: 'WILDs Versus DILDs' in a
    kind of contrast & compare type scenario (something i also did in the book because imho it's important to contrast/compare both methods)

    iow: anything up to 15-vids lol is not an impossible number to have to
    make considering all the different topics involved, but these first 5 'core-ones' (and those 2 extras) were the important/core how-to-do-it ones
    i needed to get out there, but there's not such a rush required for the
    rest of 'em as there's hardly many advanced students yet...

    and it's only done 14% of a 3-gig file (geez...) so maybe around another 6
    or 7 hours to go + with subtitles can add another hour to that as well...

    that's around 5am/6am uk-time tomorrow morning folks for part 5 + will
    post the link to it then

    it's gonna be a long nite :)

    ### - and thar' she blows! :)

    plus that was a l o n g upload! (7 hours 20 mins! damn it's gettin'
    worse lol)

    still gots the subtitles to complete yet (another hour for that via
    youtube) and then that's it, but it's live now...

    this one taking a total of only 6-days to complete (and upload lol) so
    really about 5-days in all of actual compiling & tweaking etc; writing the voice-script is first followed by the actual recordings of them, then the pictures + any movie footage (& any text) to match until the timeline is
    full and there's no gaps left in it, then tweaks-galore for maybe 2 days
    to tidy & tighten it all up + then a couple of trial renders to check for story/image continuity & then the sound levels check (which is a real
    bitch on this software because it doesn't actually output exactly what you
    hear live in preview (a sound engineers' nightmare lol) so only trial &
    error is left, tweaking it accordingly a few times back & forth until what
    it outputs sounds ok-enough, something which takes a day just in itself,
    so better in-house sound-software would likely shave another whole day of
    that overall 6 days...)

    But what the hell, am not complaining any, so ok ya have to do the sound recordings blindfolded + then go all round the houses trying to make it
    sound like how it was when recorded, but i cares not heh, the rest of this editing software is excellent otherwise and totally free, and that's hard
    to beat!

    so anyway's here it now is; the last chapter of the 'core-instruction' for WILDing + which mentions/deals with the kinds of things/levels one will
    likely encounter upon entering into a full WILD...

    dude you sure are paying your dues with your effort here.
    That's alot of work for sure. Good for you on sticking
    to the project.

    ### - it's gots to be done so just have to get-on and done it huh (no room
    to mess about; ya gets tired messin' about... so do the work rest later...)




    The nice thing about the video(s) is/are
    that one can watch over and over until it all makes good
    dreaming sense. The video helps to wake up each dreamer's
    potential to do this stuff. No telling how long it will
    take each person to come around.

    ### - iow: thicko's can watch it again & again until they finally gets it? (really laffing)

    damn right hahaha ;)

    (not everyone can work with books unless you've had years of practice
    reading, whereas pictures & short vids seems to be the menu of the day in
    these more modern times, especially for the young)

    old farts like us are fine with books and can appreciate them but they's rapidly goin' outta fashion?

    ebooks, excerpts, abridged-versions, the shorter the better + anything
    that holds their attention even if only for a few minutes seems to work
    for them...

    i mean, screw learning to WILD in '14-days', things these days are
    measured in 'hours' on your phone/device + you gots to look where you're
    going at the same time heh, so it's gotta be a rapid download no matter
    what the material! so in-effect it's really only a fortnight's worth of
    the half-hours spent trying to WILD before falling asleep: 7 hours! (learn
    to WILD in 7 hours lol)

    and well, now they gots 'both' alternatives at-hand + with all the
    personal practice involved in putting these voice-overs together, don't be surprised if'n i later also issues me' own audio book transcript/version instead of finding someone else to do it, these little vids are little
    talking books after all innit, so how hard could the full book then be if managed in similar stages and spoken paragraphs (can see the possibility
    anyway & couldn't before, so it's as good as done...)

    ### - they're ALL blind, that's why am doin' it! hahaha! (crackin' up laffing...) :)))

    but there's peeps besides the 'physically' blind who depend on audios too; peeps with medically short attention spans for example (just can't sit
    still long enough to enjoy reading i suppose) plus plenty of peeps too who maybe left school early and can't actually read/write that well (i knows
    quite a few of those! it's a measurable percentile of the population!)
    enough needy people out there anyway, in one form or another, to warrant a whole industry of audio-books...

    be interesting to know what though, if anything, physically blind people
    do see if/when they WILD, do they see the hypnagogia? do they see things
    in their dreams? people who've lost their sight for whatever reason at
    least have the memory of what seeing is like and prolly see/imagine things again in their dreams too... i think blind people would likely make
    excellent WILDers, maybe even experts ;)

    a good WILDer after all the crap you had
    go through Slider.

    i had a dream the other night where i was

    He had this really small bike and it needed some
    kind of weird repair. I kept thinking in the dream
    why this dude doesn't buy a bigger bike, afterall he
    probably has more money than god or Jennifer Aniston.

    'coz have only been working on this one for the last 24 hours and it's basically 99% ready already??

    that, or have LOST several days!? LOL :)))

    nah man, it's only been a day?? wtf! (cue the twilight zone music? haha...)

    so better or faster then, whatever!

    (that, or it's just a total pile of thrown-together crap LOL, could be!)

    so am jus' testin' it now and giving it its first rendering to see how it
    looks & plays outside of the software (takes an hour to render a 10-minute
    vid into an mp4 file on my little comp...)

    and then will know any final tweaks that are needed before doing it again
    for real & then uploading it to youtube (takes a good 5-hours at least to youtube) and will then be live! today!

    hot diggity damn! sob this is more like it!

    ### - well, checked it and it's ok to roll (smile) so am uploading it now
    to the tube, so just give it 5 hours maybe...

    you do realise that the last vid & this one ('The Midway Point') are of
    the advanced part of the course now? the basics was 1 though 4 (plus those little extra ones) but from the last one-on it's starting to get far more complex...

    not more difficult mind you, no not that, it's actually all quite straight forward and thus simple, it's just more complex & involved/beyond the mere entertainment aspects/value of it all + doesn't really make much sense intellectually until one has actually stood-at/experienced the midway
    point personally...

    and because, at the 'Midway Point' evolution beckons heh heh heh ;)

    ### - all done, but just the wrong side of midnite here for it to have all
    been made in only one day (15 minutes out heh...) :)

    not that am complainin' any hah! no way!

    and so, here it is: part 6: 'The Midway Point'

    which, incidentally, is where things 'really' start gettin' interesting? ;)

    didn't really make too much fuss about this aspect before (especially in
    the book even though there was a whole chapter devoted to it, which, btw,
    was the clue...) because no one else knew about it/was able to relate to
    it, so it had to wait till everyone else caught up some?

    well, there's been 2 or 3 peeps now, advanced students, who've indeed
    found this midway point and have now begun reaping the rewards that comes automatically from doing so... only 'one' of which is being able to WILD at-will & on-demand!

    that if there's anything 'new' about lucid dreaming the WILD way, it's not
    just the facility with which one can then more easily lucid dream (which
    is still a tremendous bonus even just in itself: 'reliable' lucid
    dreaming?? whatever next!) but is in fact this 'Midway Point' awareness
    from which everything else, including lucid dreaming, extends!

    and because: find this midway point and hang there long enough, and you
    will begin to know yourself in increasingly different ways; startling new
    ways! highly illuminating ways! directly 'empowering' ways :)

    iow: a degree of 'perceptual-liberation' comes to us at that midway point
    like never before, so much so, that this is what actually prompted me to
    write that book in the first place! this midway point is the business!

    it is the crux + eye of the needle when it comes to awareness, it is the optimum + pivotal point, and this because from that pov we can do anything!

    our problem currently is not knowing exactly 'what' to do nor all the
    things that 'can' be done from that pov, so great discoveries also lie
    ahead for us when peeps eventually start getting around to actually
    mapping all this :)

    the next video in the series will be called: 'Lucid Dreaming On Demand'
    and will examine just how humanity might change, or be different then, if WILDing ever became the norm...

    and which haha might even be ready by this time tomorrow if this one was anything to go by?? LOL (j/k am having a week off! haha...)

    you make it sound sooo easy. I would say that internally you
    have come to a complete stop. You have somehow taken total
    command of the dream. You have stopped long enough to enter a
    place that most everyone bypasses. Which means before you start
    to dream you are already there. One has to be 'there' before the
    dream begins. Try to explain how to do that for your students.
    You might as well be telling them how to shift their AP, as if this
    is even possible. At any rate, well done maestro. Can i buy
    stock in the company now? j/k

    ### - ending up at said midway point is inevitable for anyone who WILDs
    for any length of time, it's actually unavoidable unless someone is
    determined to avoid it (e.g., someone hell-bent on only the lucid dreaming
    side of it all to the exclusion of anything else because we can in fact do
    that + do precisely that initially anyway) otherwise, just WILD a few
    times and anyone will bump into it at some point no problemo, being
    forewarned is plenty :)

    the really weird thing is, is that it 'is' sooo easy?

    imho, this is because everyone one of us goes to sleep every day without
    fail. iow: we are already completely familiar with this whole process of falling asleep & waking up again spread over a lifetime, it's just that
    we've always only ever done it all completely unconsciously...

    add just a 'tinge' of awareness to that whole process though and we
    suddenly gots all this instead!? (a missing/hidden third to our lives
    handed back to us!) and which initially takes around 2 weeks of prompting/knocking on that door to begin to change it some...

    bring awareness into the process of 'falling-asleep', even just a tiny
    bit, and it changes everything we thought we knew about sleep & sleeping!

    that finding, and then exploring said midway point, is actually just
    as-easy as it was for you to see those hypnagogia the last time, it's a
    knack more than a skill, the 'skill' per se actually being in controlling oneself + stopping oneself from only ever doing things totally
    unconsciously more than anything else, so it's just our own ingrained +
    lazy habits that change...

    thus learning to WILD is really only a process of slowly becoming aware of things we've been deliberately ignoring all along; everyone has seen
    hypnagogia at some point but never knew what to do with it except unconsciously, and, because its directly associated with sleep, we've
    avoided examining it + deliberately kept things that way! have accepted it
    all as being normal to do things that way...

    'choice' comes to us for real at the midway point, choice like never
    before, plus once ya 'start' choosing it seems ridiculous to ever go back
    to not choosing again...

    'willpower' is thus all only about: choosing, of 'making' choices and
    sticking to them! of getting good (of becoming habitualised) at doin'
    that...

    so now 'choose' whether you're gonna fall asleep like a bear tonite or not
    :)

    (most people never make any choice other than to just get into bed and lay there getting ready to be somehow magically snatched away hah (their only involvement in the whole process!) they made their 'choice' years ago as children to do things that way and have never examined it since!)

    after making said 'choice' you'll continue to fall asleep like that for a little while, but eventually that 'choice' begins to get heard and that's
    where the fun begins ;)

    we just didn't know/realise that we 'had' any choice in the matter is
    all...

    'self-control' comes into the equation like never before! (so be prepared!)

    so, could this be cc's 'energy-body' suddenly becoming activated do ya
    think?

    (smile)

    the activation takes place in the waking world, i think you have to be
    doing 'things' for that to happen. No doubt they are movements and
    exercises that assist in the energybody's emergence. Or it could be a
    whole range of 'doings' that prompt this thing to come out. the fact
    that one has his/her first lucid dream may be proof that the energybody
    is there and waiting for you to get going. everyone has an energybody.

    you make it sound sooo easy.

    ### - this was commented on fb back in april and is now showing in the
    website testamonials...

    Joshua Genke: Lucid Dreaming Facebook Group, 8th April 2019:
    I used to think you were making it sound too simple, but I kept at it and you're right. WILD is the best. I can do it reliably now. My next goal is
    to be able to do it quicker since it can take me a couple hours.

    ***

    imho, this guy is gonna make a fabulous WILDer because he 'insists' (i'd
    call 2 hours nada-less than insisting heh) and will obviously get it all down-pat at some point if he doesn't relent, and particularly once he
    discovers the midway/pivotal point to it all ;)

    (we 'have' to insist because our habit/routine is to do nada and just
    let-go otherwise; we've given-in to sleep all our lives so it takes a
    little work to change/alter that...)

    once the midway point is reached & understood, however, everything really
    does change...

    'self-control' comes into the equation like never before! (so be prepared!)

    so, could this be cc's 'energy-body' suddenly becoming activated do ya
    think?

    so what does that mean? well according to cc (and am 'not' saying he knew what he was talking about or anything heh...) being in 2 places at the
    same time marks the "free movement of the ap" and that to get there ya
    have to pass "the place of no pity"

    what i think the coach (cc) was saying is that one has
    to get pass the place of feelin' sorry for yourself.
    Something like ruthlessness but not completely.
    Isn't it funny how we believe these feelings are
    unique to each one of us? Standard issue, everyone has
    access to them.

    ### - WILDs occur in the waking world too? ;)

    was only pullin' your leg really heh, but even in 'that' lingo that
    'midway point' is the key to it all really, and because right there, if
    that's what someone was looking for i mean, right there is yer' "portal of intent" - reach 'that' position and being in 2 places at once is a cinch!

    so what does that mean? well according to cc (and am 'not' saying he knew
    what he was talking about or anything heh...) being in 2 places at the
    same time marks the "free movement of the ap" and that to get there ya
    have to pass "the place of no pity"

    well, there is indeed an almost frightening feeling of utter detachment
    that suddenly comes upon you at the midway point; frighteningly cold! a
    feeling that then allows you to 'do' anything you want because you somehow 'know' how to do it! plus from that detachment comes a distinct sensation
    of indifference & ease + a noticeably huge gain in confidence (something
    cc had dj describe as being the result of moving into the 2nd attention...)

    so where does that leave us then now?

    fuck knows! lol :)))

    your guess is as good as mine hahaha...

    as for the energy-body, yes we've all gots one of those, and even more
    bodies if the buddhists are anything to go by? (they reckon we also have
    an 'emotional' body too for example; the body of intuition...)

    but to transfer one's awareness to it requires stretching the fecker out
    some by giving it some exercise else it just remains asleep/subconscious;
    stand at that midway point, however, and one becomes all 'mind', one
    that's apparently in direct contact with a seemingly endless pool of
    knowledge and thus knows how to do things without having to first figure anything out...

    'something' in us at that point knows... immensities!

    which just sounded like cc's energy-body to moi haha ;)

    ### - look at all my little miracles!

    it's like frogs layin' eggs??

    FUNK! - and there's another one! - there's No.9! :)

    haha so have apparently got this video-making thing down-pat by now heh...

    AND this one was made in only 12 hours or thereabouts! (howzat!)

    smile, was gonna have a week off... but had a kinda epiphany after the
    last one only takin' a day, and realised it's basically been all down to
    the software am using, not that it's particularly difficult or complex or anything, it just takes an age (for moi at least) to begin really getting anywhere with it and come up to speed?

    the first video took 3 weeks to make for example!

    i mean, c'mon! these are only 10-minute vids, how can it possibly take
    3-weeks to make only a 10-minute video??

    simples... ya starts-off with hardly a clue about the software itself +
    with even less of a clue as to how you're even gonna present the video! in which case it took 3-weeks to acquire those clues; actually composing the
    video as i went along while at the same time learning the software to make
    it with!

    perforce the next vid only took 12-days! then just over a week for the one after, then finally only 2 days, and now one day!

    and so here we are having completed another + similar one in only 12
    hours, plus adding another 6.5-hour upload to youtube for the 2.6gig raw
    file!

    they're all very simple affairs really, just glorified slide-shows with voice-overs! (slider-shows? heh)

    so anyway, here now 'is' the latest one in the series: 'Lucid Dreaming On Demand' (9:04)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plnqmbC86d4

    heh, am getting so quick at this now maybe the next one will be ready
    before i even start-in on it?

    haha enjoy :)

    ### - well, so this is how WILDing starts 2020 then eh?

    with: 1,078 members in the fb group, 97 youtube subscribers, 1,300+ hits
    across now '10' videos in the series (cool + more vids to come), 383 books
    sold + nearly 1000 copies given away (from little acorns etc & all that
    heh)

    and with quite a few peeps now amongst them clearly managing to 'exactly' reproduce my results/findings; will consider the theory to have be sound
    and/or well-founded that WILDs are, in fact, universally available to all
    & sundry with really only very little practice...

    so, 4-years in, maybe 2020 will be WILDs' year eh? (might be a bit soon
    for that yet tho' heh, as-is the chance of an international 'WILDs-Day'
    being set up yet hehe; but hey maybe one day there's gonna be a: Happy
    WILDs Day?)

    in about 30 years time maybe, lol this generation are still all so fast
    asleep and thus still living in soap-opera versions of what life's all
    about; their heads jammed so far up their own tucus it ain't never coming
    out?? hah!

    the universal culo-expander is now available, however, and it seems to be working, so now all they gots to do is to... hear about it ;)

    so roll-on 2020 + let's hope ya's all gets some clear 20-20 'vision' to go
    with that instead of just blowin' your stupid selves up as per-usual huh:
    lol have some 'imagination' for christsakes already!

    peace :)

    introducing part: 8 in the series - 'The Making Of Genius'

    anyone wannabe a genius?

    well now ya can! :)

    you have, but to deliberately 'put' yourself into the right place (in awareness) in order to receive it... else one is merely relying on chance alone...

    and ya don't have to 'be' a genius in order to do it either! ;)

    but you might well become one in the process based on particular/certain
    ideas and the questions that you inquire about...

    @ 14:12 this is also the longest vid in the series to date + the next one
    will likely be longer still

    quite complex subjects these from part 6-on, so only experienced WILDers
    are really gonna be kinda interested in this level of observations &
    debates, perhaps peeps interested in the mind + intelligence generally
    too...

    either way don't expect a big rush on this one, although ya never know,
    might catch-up to the others later when more peeps gets around to actually WILDing in a few years time, who knows...

    enjoy ;)

    ### - a new WILD dude posted this :)

    he posted this first shorter one in the lucid dreaming group and the
    longer one in his own group:

    Alan Carmack
    1 January

    Did my first WILD at like 3am a couple nights ago. I got lucid but was in
    a dark space or void til I entered a dream world. Sounds like this is
    common but was definitely strange to be in. Honestly I wasn't sure if WILD
    was bull but after doing it I am a convert now. It's a cool tool if a find myself having a dry spell from having lucid dreams from normal reality
    checks etc which gets me lucid.

    ***

    Jan 1 2020. Cool way to start the new years with a lucid dream. Had been
    about a week and a half since last lucid dream. Had been thinking about
    having another one but hadn't been going lucid. Woke at 330 am and upon
    going back to sleep decided to try WILD. I had kind of skimmed over this technique before when reading about lucid dreaming but thought I didn't
    need it as I lucid dream so frequently at once a week or so.

    While visualizing falling asleep I tried to remain conscious I was briefly
    in that daydream state and conscious and then remained conscious while
    going asleep. But where I was was bizarre it was like a blank void that I
    was flying thru I could see a blue spoked wheel like something from the
    wheel of fortune tarot card except floating in space with glyphs all over
    it I was giving to understand this was sort of a dream travelling tool or multiverse tool or astral projection tool.

    while lucid in this black void space I wondered if I was astral projecting
    and not lucid dreaming. I saw a two dimensional pane with a world inside
    it which I flew to. I asked if Evenar an angel could meet me. I also asked
    if Satan could meet me. I was able to go into the world seen in the pane
    from the void. It was a farmland with a storm in the distance looked like where I live in Oklahoma. There was an open air library and the angel
    Evenar who is my guardian angel was looking thru books. On the other side
    was an art exhibit with paintings from a woman named Ina Jean.

    I thought this is amazing I want to wake up and remember all this
    perfectly. At that point I woke up.

    ***

    obviously this guy still has some religious issues to deal with, heh, what
    with lookin' for angels and god etc? (obviously hasn't read my book then
    haha) but actually hit the jackpot when it comes to WILDing by
    finding/hitting that 'Midway-Point/void first?

    fact is... he's actually learned TONS just in his very first experience of WILDing?? tons!

    what most people take weeks to get to he's absorbed in just one lesson?

    and which just really goes to show how 'close' all this really 'is' to us? (arms-length at most?)

    our star student (mary) now hits that void first each and every time and
    it's become her express way to enter into a WILD, perfection, but this
    dude has hit the 'exact' combination on his very first attempt??

    now if HE doesn't end up as an excellent + very talented WILDer, i'll eat
    my feckin hat! :)))

    confirmation indeed! :)

    ### - haha have just 'cornered' one of the kings of dildos lol :)))

    this is a dude that's apparently fairly well-known in LDing circles (never heard of him m'self but he has quite a large following from back in the
    day), the same dude demonstrating (wait for it haha) his guru-like
    qualities via his own 'semen-retention' lasting a 100 days? (crackin' up
    laffin ahaha)

    so anyway, he'd involved his whole little crew of followers in this stunt (still really laffing) updating his success @ 60 days, 80 days, 100 days!
    (lol + was all i could do at the time not to rib him re exploding one day
    or summat? haha) but 'did' mention his great strength etc in pulling that
    off (smile + no pun intended lol) and rather cheekily suggested (b'coz am
    defo cheeky on occasion heh) that if he applied such 'determination' to
    his WILDing as he did, his erm, other, erm, pursuits (still laffing) that
    he prolly wouldn't have any problems with WILDing? ;)

    which he, apparently, took to heart? because that very night he had a
    great full WILD and was back on fb the very next day telling all & sundry
    about it and how great it had been! so much so he started this new post
    all about his now adventures into exploring this WILDing phenomena,
    promising to keep everyone updated on his progress?

    which was totally cool with me? here was a known dude who'd just
    discovered the difference between dilds & WILDs and how easy they were? i
    was actually impressed with his honesty?? a prime convert!

    only now, he's started back-tracking, dropped the WILDs and returned to plugging dilds again + some such bs re holistic living meaning/implying
    being lucid during waking hours as well (not something i disagree with in principle) but 'approaching' it all that from the dilds pov, something
    that's likely impossible but is an automatic feature of WILDing per se...
    iow: he's tryin' to do everything back to front?

    so, of course, have pulled him up on this back-sliding (heh) of his, and
    he's only copped for: 'i know about WILDs but am better at dilds'
    baloney... so here's how have now cornered him heh ;)

    he said:

    My approach is a holistic one. I’m about lucid living as much as I am
    about lucid dreaming, and this exercise is conducive to both. As you know, I’ve been interested in WILDing for many years and will continue to make regular attempts at it, but it’s very hit and miss for me. I personally
    have much more consistency from DILDs (2 or 3 a week).

    slider replied:

    That's precisely the same excuse you gave me last time during a debate on
    the subject (we were discussing consistency & determination etc) and you
    WILDed that very night and was suprised at just how easy it was? So much
    so you started writing about it like it was a new adventure for you or something? It had been a revelation!

    fyi: WILDs are only as hit & miss as the amount of times you bother to try doing them, i.e., they wont come to you, you have to go to them! Plus it's precisely this feature of WILDs that makes them completely volitional: we 'choose' to WILD or not! So if you're not getting any WILDs it can only be because you're not actually trying for them!

    Personally, i observe, that learning to dild first tends to make people
    lazy? i.e., They come to expect everything to come to them instead of
    going to it, and that's a problem when it comes to WILDing, and to
    breaking new ground generally if it comes to that...

    To WILD or not to WILD, that IS the cutting edge question ;)

    ***

    so ya see, he's in a bit of a bind now huh; plus if ONLY he hadn't made
    such a public-fuss of his first real WILD that time??

    and 'coz now he can't get out of it without losing-face etc and lookin'
    like a strop hahaha

    lol 'dem dildo-kings is fallin' like 9-pins ;)

    ### - gettin' close now to completing vid-9, which at 28-mins will be the longest of them and which will also complete the series (whew!) :)

    the other vids aren't doin' too bad having now collected just over 2159
    views between them since nov 12 when the first one was published, not
    having any real competition is defo helping with peeps finding them
    though, e.g., type 'wilds' into youtube and SIX of these vids show-up on
    page one! (yaay!)

    anyways, number-9 will be along in the next week, although not being
    intended for newbies directly i don't really expect it to do too well initially, the rather advanced + thoughtful nature of its content prolly
    not being to everyone's taste unless you've already maybe mastered WILDing
    and have thus reached the stage where such questions automatically begin
    to arise anyway; although again, not having much competition out there as
    such on this particular subject (at least none that isn't all rather
    mystical and thus confusing in nature, mainly because no one seems to know
    what they's really talkin' about via dilds so they make it up?) i thus
    kinda expect everyone, including dilders, obe-ers & ap-ers, to wanna view
    it... eventually

    there's still a couple or 3 vids that need to be done + will likely add
    these sometime in the near future too, just to cover all the remaining
    bases etc etc... but for now (including the long one) this will make a
    total of 127 minutes of video completed (a dvd's worth?)

    and b'coz have had just about enough of making videos by now hehe...

    lol am nearly burned out? :)

    other, related/relevant stats being; a total now of 14.1k lifetime channel views producing 744.6 hours of watched video (4000 hours required to
    monetise) + 106 subscribers (1000 needed) so it's likely still gonna be a
    while yet before it starts gettin' interesting; not so much any income as
    the subject of WILDs itself becoming more popular/known as reflected by it

    another 18-months to 2 years maybe?

    guess we'll see huh :)

    whether anyone will ever watch it all the way through tho' is another

    and which took just 7 minutes short of 14-hours in all (lol) to upload!

    and that's all folks! plus am rather pleased with the 11 videos in under 3 months, starting from scratch, to complete the series (cool) as had surely expected it to take at least double that amount

    have still gots a couple of hours work on it doing the subtitles, but am actually fairly pleased with the results of this one (my best work? hah...)

    i meant 14 hours lol (ffs!)

    i.e., it's now 50% uploaded after just over 7 hours??

    oh well, i guess if'n ya don't gots fiber these days then you're just no
    one innit hehe...

    they keep tryin' to sell it to me but am quite happy really with a 2-meg download speed (18-megabits) which is more than plenty for little old
    moi... upload speeds perhaps leave a little to be desired, but have never really needed it until now and this whole project is just about done
    anyway, so they can basically stick their more expensive fibers where the
    sun don't shine haha :)))

    wont be making any more vids 'this' long anyway heh + any forthcoming
    audio book (approx. 4.5 hours worth) wont need any video (a strong
    likelihood now for one after all that practice + didn't think i could do
    it before but can defo see it happenin' at some point now; have somehow
    gots used to doin' it & then editing it correctly...)

    now 53% uploaded heh @ approx. 1% per every 8 minutes...

    so only 47 x 8 mins to go... d'oh!

    ### - and the now completed webpage too (kewl) :)

    ("look at all my little miracles" heh...)

    job done! :)

    there was one rather strange effect coming from (and while) doing all this though?

    that of the sensation of 'time' having been somewhat suspended; a level of concentration then whereby time literally sailed by in floods, that what
    'felt' like only a couple of hours often turning out to be 6 or 7 hours or more?? this happening on maybe more than a dozen occasions throughout (and twice in just the last 24 hours alone) that it's obviously more than just average concentration? (i mean, i know how to concentrate and work, am no stranger to that, literally spending 100's of hours on filling up that
    easycam database that time for example, was utterly grueling, but this was quite noticeably different; subjectively time just stopped passing
    altogether and yet the work got done??)

    oh well, is prolly only just the first stages of dementia or summat haha,
    mad cow disease!

    so if'n i starts mooo-ing or something on here maybe someone will kindly
    take me down to the local vet and have me put to sleep lol :)))

    was/is strange tho', even more so after becoming aware of it and watching
    it happen again...

    very strange that :)

    ### - cheers, there certainly is more out there to be had and it ain't
    that far away + hopefully these will help to bring it all just that little
    bit closer to us huh...

    i.e., ZenWorld (instead of wallyworld) sounds alright to moi, sounds
    better!

    haha ;)

    ### - a few stats:

    since publishing the first one now on nov 12th (11 weeks) 2,611 peeps have viewed the videos generating a total of 180 extra hours of watched video between them... there's 114 subscribers to the channel + we're only 2
    short now of 1,100 members on the WILDs & WILDing facebook group to boot,
    added to which book sales are nearing 400 (broke even @ 200 so can't
    really complain about that one huh, it's actually paid a few bills!) :)

    and while not quite the meteoric climb to fame & fortune that some vids
    seem to attract (that dude with 2 million hits in only 6 months on one
    video for example?? sheesh he's paying for it or what?) am still actually fairly pleased with that, especially seein' as i was only gettin' about
    half a dozen hits per month for all of the 10 years before that on my
    music alone LOL (geez i'd have gotten more hits selling earplugs! hah!)

    so looks like it's still gonna be a long-long way to Tipperary innit then
    eh folks?

    a fuckin' long way haha + uphill all the way...

    meanwhile slider starves, the world seems to like keepin' him hungry?

    ### - "like frogs layin' eggs... Funk!"

    next up (lol) is supplementary video #1 (bet ya's are getting sick of all
    this by now innit haha)

    No.13 in the series:

    World Title Fight: 'WILDs Vs.DILDs' - Ding-Ding! - Round One - The debate begins! :D

    so ok, the title's a bit much maybe heh, but is actually quite accurate:
    a debate has indeed begun! lol i've made sure of it and the time is right
    for it too!

    taken directly from a chapter of the book as it goes, and also already available free on fb as a word doc in our files section (something i then
    point people at whenever the subject comes up instead of laboriously
    explaining it over & over in various posts etc, and which has actually
    been very handy)

    but now also available too in video format for the perhaps less-inclined
    to read amongst us ;)

    like they can watch all these on their iphones & tablets, ya know?
    (laffing)

    and hopefully will, so enjoy :)

    one idea maybe for a future 'advert' IF i can get away with it + also
    afford it at some point too, but which might still be fun to make, e.g., (laffing) the opening scene in 2001 where the apes wake up to find that
    big monolith parked outside their yard; and they're all touchin' it & sniffin' it haha, only in the advert that monolith will of course be
    wrapped with a giant copy of my book?? LOL :)))

    i don't think the apes realize (yet) that the screen of consciousness
    is where everything is played out. Without the 'screen' = no show.
    Are you one of those apes?

    ### - smile, looks like am coming to the end of this current project now,
    with currently 13 videos available and the room for just 2 more?

    http://www.thewildway.com/files/tutorials.htm

    i.e., am thinking of one for: 'The cure for Insomnia' (a fairly important
    + stand alone one) and another covering 'obe/ap & sp' in some yet to be decided/scripted form...

    and then that's it: basically an abridged (+ now video) version of the
    book with a couple of extra bits thrown in for good measure heh :)

    and wasn't that difficult really all things considered (less difficult
    than i'd imagined anyway) and didn't even take that long! (3 months coming
    up on feb 11)

    plus can't think of anything else currently to make any vids of? (thank goodness lol)

    one idea maybe for a future 'advert' IF i can get away with it + also
    afford it at some point too, but which might still be fun to make, e.g., (laffing) the opening scene in 2001 where the apes wake up to find that

    wrapped with a giant copy of my book?? LOL :)))

    chances are wont be able to use it unless hiring actors to totally re-make
    the scene, but would be perfect if it was just superimposed over the
    original? hahaha

    (it's a really funny idea...)

    just imagine it lol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHWs3c3YNs4

    an eye-popping advert for the latest 'thing' in town? ahaha! :)))

    ### - i actually think that's quite correct :)

    imho that 'screen' is the 'mind' (or what we call the mind anyway) and/or
    the resulting sense of 'self'

    (singing...) ain't it bad, when you discover that; it was only yourself to blame all along? (smile)

    in that movie (or better yet: in the advert lol) the appearance of that
    'thing' changes everything and their whole approach to being, the very
    next scene (in the movie) cutting to the max-evolved version of that with
    them flyin' around in space etc, only to encounter it yet again and go-off
    now on an even stranger inner-journey...

    iow: represents a total change in direction + being stuck in their
    ape-like ways for a while until something nudges them to move on from
    that...

    what was making me laff being the idea of thus superimposing that 'effect'
    to the facebook group where they're all now suspiciously touchin' it &
    sniffin' it and checkin' it out ahaha!

    it would be an advert peeps would watch + maybe even talk about if it was
    on tv kinda thing?

    would 'love' to see that on tv done in a 30-seconds ad lol ;)

    unfortunately i don't seem to have the skill myself to do it, either
    because the current software isn't actually up to it, and/or because i
    don't know how to go about doing it so it looks ok (more than likely)
    either way anything i made now with it wouldn't look too good (the book
    cover would move around as the angles change etc, although could maybe
    simplify it till you can't really see what it is until that final shot
    where the viewer then sees the full cover as though from the apes pov, his
    hand reaching out to touch it lol, that could work! dammit am gonna try it hahaha) :)))

    ### - video 14 heh: 'A Radical Solution To Insomnia' - The Cure!

    can consider this one to be fairly important in terms of attracting
    attention to WILDs & WILDing, in this instance via an 'actual' CURE for insomnia! :)

    (laughing...) this is something none of you cunts out there EVER picked-up
    on??

    A CURE FOR INSOMNIA ffs!!! (laffing)

    lol someone should be shouting this from the rooftops! a CURE! a CURE!
    ahaha...

    something i've mentioned many times over the last 4 years, even to
    publishing an article in the fb group called: the solution to insomnia and sharing it around all the groups??

    but not a dickie-bird of a response anywhere! ok a couple of peeps talked
    about it for 5 minutes whenever i mentioned it, but that was it! nada for:
    the CURE for insomnia! LOL

    anyway, maybe this way is better in getting it out there to all the poor feckers actually suffering from it, the fact that it's a realisation borne
    of learning to WILD just makes it even more interesting imho, the cure for insomnia thus coming with a few bonus extras for all those poor slobs
    who've somehow fallen-off their perch and have thus forgotten how to
    sleep; when they fix their insomnia they can WILD as well!

    to my knowledge, no one has ever suggested anything like this before for
    this particular sleep disorder, and it doesn't even cost anything??

    this is only a very short video (6 minutes) but have the distinct feeling
    that a part-2 will have to come along at some point too (a half-hour documentary type thing) to perhaps explain it all in more depth + it's
    direct association with WILDing too...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDwYFfI4G_A

    and because it's one of a kind ;)

    sold 2 books!

    didn't win naff-all on the gee-gees though... (d'oh!)

    but i guess 2 outta 3 ain't too shabby ;)

    ### - currently writing the script to the last & final part of the series (vid-15) re ap/obe etc, wherein WILDs may just turn out to be the
    ultimately unifying factor and/or common denominator existing between
    'all' the methods... a kind of unified field-theory then that brings all
    the approaches & methods together in one and tries to explain them; WILDs
    being what am fairly sure is the base-model from which all the 'others'
    derive for example; and that a rose by any other name is still a rose :)

    and, was just totting-up all the vids for length, only to realise there's
    now a total of 2.47:10 hours of video? the one coming likely to be around
    12 minutes or so taking it then to only just under 3-hours in all??
    (cool...)

    so what's next then: a dvd perhaps? (lol) possibly comprising 9 main
    chapters and 6 bonus videos, maybe with an ebook thrown-in for good
    measure?

    and coz not everyone goes on youtube innit + it wouldn't have to be the
    most expensive dvd on the planet either heh, a copy of the book + all the
    vids nicely arranged in a dvd-menu format, must be worth what? 11.99? (the
    book cost 9.99 on it's own!) so maybe even 12.99!

    will have to see what amazon offers in that dept, as am sure they'll
    likely have a very convenient package to suit albeit it with minimum
    starting prices, and/or, there's nada to stop me offering my own package
    more privately via the site or even on amazon & ebay etc, blank dvd's are cheap, a printer to print labels on them is dirt-cheap, the customer pays
    the shipping and/or just downloads it! ('big' discount for downloading
    heh...)

    goal for this year then being to complete & publish all 4 translations +
    these vids (now almost done rather surprisingly in under 3 months) and
    also the audio-book version too which, after all this practice heh, i now
    feel qualified enough to make myself! (40% royalties on audios if ya do
    'em yourself, and, like the ebooks: more if they download it!) and which
    can also be offered privately via the website too in both formats...

    so all in all then, quite a busy year to look forward too innit, it's been taking it's time to all slowly come together and get going and to produce
    all the various formats involved, but it's all just about coming together
    now and hopefully taking its final form this year...

    the boy's growing up! (awww) ;)

    (got this damn tune playing in my head for the last couple of days?)

    ### - Ran a little poll on the 'lucid dreaming' fb group for a
    week/10-days re who's currently doing what using which technique etc etc...

    the list of choices being: WILDs, DILDS, obe/ap & other...

    the final scores being a rather surprising 23 votes for WILDs, 15 for
    dilds, 16 for obe/ap + 2 for other... a reverse of last years' poll
    concerning WILDs versus dilds :)

    the obe/ap & other group being just about the same: basically upon
    examination a melange of dilds and WILDs albeit experienced from differing pov's & belief-systems, most of which were basically waking dreams or
    WILDs anyway in one form or another, many natural dreamers considering themselves to be 'other'

    the new videos have subsequently clocked up 3318 views in the last 90 days since starting (approx. 1000 views per month then, so far) generating
    226.6 hours of watched video between them...

    book sales have reached 400, plus there's now 1105 members in the WILDs & WILDing fb group

    Chris asked the other day how many peeps have maybe now learned this technique/been successful with it?

    can't give an exact figure for this, but this would have to be in the
    dozens by now that am aware of, perforce which includes Chris himself (4
    times now for him albeit in a somewhat rather inconsistent + haphazard
    manner as befitting his nature hehe) with many more all currently knocking
    on the door at various stages in the learning curve...

    peeps typically experiencing similar difficulties with each stage; having difficulty relaxing without falling asleep, maintaining their view of the hypnagogia once they start seeing 'em without falling asleep, and then
    that of examining them in the right way so as to trigger a WILD, again
    without falling asleep heh...

    so only all the standard teething problems really then, problems that can
    all be very easily solved by anyone practicing in a perhaps more
    'consistent' manner, as suggested, but then ya know what people are like;
    they like to complain and worry instead of just enjoying the learning
    curve involved, ALL the ones logging their daily progress, for example, generally doing very well and all arriving at the various stages on time
    as opposed to those who only practice occasionally and thus complain the
    most haha (no coincidence there then Chris eh? lol)

    so then, even after what is almost 4 years now (next march) it's still
    early days huh...

    even so, there's defo a whole lot more chatter these days re WILDs &
    WILDing generally in nearly all the groups, interest indeed appears to be growing fairly steadily if only of WILDs being a perhaps more readily
    available form of lucid dreaming with interesting 'visual-effects' almost
    from the beginning as encouragement to them...

    e.g., last year dilds were still ruling the roost in polls whereas that situation has now reversed with the majority trying WILDs instead (cool)

    so then, only about another 146 years to go folks (heh) before everyone's
    doin' it and the world's a much better place for it eh? - the
    'consistency' of WILDs to deliver lucid dreams being what will, i imagine, swing it eventually so that in maybe 4 or 5 years time WILDs will be all
    the rage and literally the talk of the town...

    maybe, we'll see, + everything should, by then, at least all be in-place
    in terms of videos, audiobooks, translations, paying adverts on youtube,
    and maybe even an all-in-one dvd bundle to-boot haha (well, plenty people
    don't go on youtube?) ;)

    good-game, good-game! your slider is currently the prez of WILDs!

    4 more years! 4 more years!

    ahahaha :)))

    ### - amidst the furore of covid-19, stats are still climbing for the WILD
    way to lucid dreaming :)

    the videos, for example, are working out fairly ok since the first one was published, with now 4,029 views creating 274.5 hours of watched video
    between them from very nearly 1000 unique visitors, book sales topping
    415, and with now 1,111 members in the WILDs & WILDing group to-boot...

    perforce people are currently somewhat distracted from all such endeavors,
    but what with everyone having to remain in-doors with nada to do but watch videos, creating these helper-videos may just turn out to have been
    exactly the right thing to have done!

    plus boy what i wouldn't give for some decent advertising funds just now?
    (any offers? lol)

    didn't think so hah, but maybe in the future, ya never know eh? ;)

    the portuguese & spanish translations are now also complete and ready for publication (only some teething probs with their covers left is all...)
    several chapters of the audiobook have also been done albeit not fully edited/corrected as yet (i.e., noise reduction, compression & echo + any remaining tweaks to all the timings of it etc, have to done after all the recording/chapters have been completed for continuity...)

    a slow but nevertheless steady progress overall i guess...

    so will keep going for as long as i can :)

    ### - An intelligent newbie asking some good questions today + also my
    reply :)

    Daryl:
    I have a question for you about your daily practice of WILDing. I
    apologize if you’ve answered this before but I’m new here and haven’t seen
    this question yet and I would like to understand better where you’re
    coming from which would help me better understand what I’m shooting for so
    I don’t have unrealistic expectations.

    Many years ago I came upon some material on how to develop 24
    consciousness, it had a similar goal in inducing WILDs on the onset of
    sleep at bedtime and thru training the person could over time develop the ability to remain conscious throughout the entire night, even during
    non-REM periods. Although this goal seemed way out there, I understand
    that Tibetan monks who practice dream yoga have similar long term goals
    and some have even achieved this feat.

    Having read your book, the Facebook files and some of your posts, I know
    the goal of your practice is to make WILDing a “choice” when deciding to
    go asleep at night, take an afternoon nap or even when you just close your
    eyes to daydream. So it is much in line with this 24 hour consciousness
    idea, the way I see it.

    So my question to you is, what is your current day to day experience of WILDing?

    If you induce it right at bedtime, do you lucid dream throughout the
    entire night or do you wake up at different periods and then return to the WILD? Are your experiences typically short or long (especially the ones
    right at bedtime)?

    Because of your WILD practice how much time do you sleep during the night
    (or in other words, stay in bed if you feel you are conscious and don’t consider it sleeping) ?... is it the regular 8 hours or do you find you
    are sleeping less? (I know you’ve mentioned that WILDing for you does not deplete you so I’m just wondering if you sleep less or the same as before).

    I was also curious if most of your WILDing is done when 1st turning in for
    the night or do you quite often WILD at other times such as early morning
    or daytime?

    Any details you provide would be appreciated as I’m trying to not only understand where I’m headed with this but I want to be realistic with my
    own goals. Thanks

    ***

    Hi Daryl, you pose some very good + searching questions covering much
    ground that am only to happy to answer to the best of my ability, plus
    everyone is slightly different so i can only really describe what happens
    to me personally, while at the same time allowing room for others to have similar or even the same experiences albeit without deliberately trying to influence them too much either way...

    At first it was only at bedtimes that i even tried to WILD, i'd been
    trying to dild for months on end at normal bedtimes and getting nowhere,
    so when the WILDs started up i stuck to the usual routine of only
    attempting them when i first went to bed... this slowly taking the form of WILDing for longer & longer periods of time (which seemed natural to me
    because my first real full WILD lasted for just over 5 hours and at first
    i kept trying to repeat that...)

    However, over time, plus taking into consideration the boost (of energy) i
    got every time, the whole routine itself began to slip and move around
    till i found myself tiring at quite unusual times of the day, some boosts lasting more than 24 hours after a particularly long session + with no seemingly predictable times as to when my battery was going to run out
    hehe...

    Thus naps came more into the picture as a working pattern; shorter periods
    of WILDing leading to shorter times of being fully awake before needing to
    WILD again kinda thing... All this again with no discernible pattern or
    routine to it all, until at one point i noticed that it kept getting light
    & dark outside only now i seemed to be completely outside of the whole (or
    any) routine altogether! I'd be awake for a good while and then WILD for
    maybe an hour or 2 and be awake for another good while, and all this with
    no discernible pattern or routine to it...

    The end result is rather marvelous as far as am concerned, in that i now
    live a more genuine 24/7 hour day, one that isn't at all set by the rising
    or setting sun or alarm clocks but simply by need alone! iow: at first,
    plus not knowing anything else, i attempted to force-fit WILDing into some
    kind of normal/usual bedtime routine i was used to, something which
    gradually altered all by itself as WILDing, instead of sleeping, became my expectation and then norm...

    These days am awake at all hours of the day and night with no set times to
    any of it heh, in fact the whole thing seems to slowly revolve and for a
    period of days am awake more during the day than the night, this gradually slipping over another few days into being awake half the night and then
    all night and then slowly round again to mainly being awake in the day
    (which is very strange but also very enjoyable too...) plus if that's the
    kinda 24-hours consciousness-thing you're talking about, then yes!
    Absolutely!

    That said, sometimes i do actually fall asleep and have either ordinary
    dreams or dilds, but again there doesn't appear to be any kind of
    discernible pattern to this, i don't expect to actually fall asleep
    anymore but sometimes it still happens, the majority of the time though am fully wide awake throughout, there not being any trace of rem sleep, or
    cycles, when WILDing because one isn't actually sleeping (i.e., gone unconscious) but has instead entered into that exact same altered state of awareness we 'call' sleep' in full waking awareness (i.e., we have 2
    options of how we enter into that state: consciously or unconsciously +
    when one learns to WILD it then becomes a more conscious choice; i now
    choose, for example, to WILD every single time instead of just falling
    asleep, having no possible reason to 'want' to enter into that altered
    state in an unconscious manner that's what i aim for and expect, so when
    it happens it always seems accidental...)

    btw: there doesn't appear to be a need/requirement to practice any
    associated daytime practices whatsoever, as just the practice of WILDing
    itself apparently leads to being more generally awake & aware during the
    day anyway for the reasons stated above... It's a natural progression from
    a routine way of resting to a more deliberate & aware one without any
    effort at all other than to continue doing it and just letting things
    takes their natural course... i.e., via WILDing we change 'internally' and
    the outward expression of that change is then 'automatically' reflected in outward appearances & resulting behaviours to fit... i mean, a little meditation now and again probably wouldn't hurt any, but only in the sense
    of the discipline it affords one in keeping the mind still...

    Thing is, once you reach the Midway Point mentioned and master that,
    you'll also know all there is to know about meditation too and what it
    actually achieves + why etc... There's no other press-ups required
    otherwise, other than perhaps to keep oneself averagely fairly fit &
    healthy as much as possible without making anything too much of it kinda thing...

    It being all too easy to come to like the worlds and alternate realities
    of WILDing maybe even more than the so-called waking world hehe (am
    definitely somewhat guilty of that on occasion though, as there ain't no
    wars, violence or pandemics in any of those worlds/realities hah!) it's
    thus probably best to maintain some engaging waking activities as well
    just to keep things in balance and oneself in-check hehehe ;)

    Ultimately: I say/suggest just follow your instincts with all this;
    start-off at normal bedtimes in order to learn everything and then go with
    the flow as it (one's awareness) expands testing absolutely everything
    along the way without getting stuck anywhere in particular, the real key
    to ALL this definitely being that midway point and one's then resulting + slowly expanding awareness whilst in that position, you'll see...

    good eh, enjoyed that :)

    what happens in the waking world that makes wilding
    worthwhile? Gains?

    ### - well after talkin' to him ya caught me in the right mood anyway
    heh...

    there's so many possible ways of trying to describe the end results of
    WILDing to that extent that i dunno where to start? thus would prefer that
    you (or anyone really) actually brought 'yourself' to that same point and
    thus answered your own questions (you'll always trust yourself before
    anyone else i mean) and coz anything less is just hearsay from moi or
    someone else that you may or may not then like to hear, or may even decide
    you don't like the sound of because i didn't get it exactly correct etc
    etc, and that would be my fault!

    personally, and in very simple terms, would describe it as the experience
    of having an expanded awareness, i.e., one that is obviously very
    different to normal in that it's seemingly wider and also far more
    inclusive, not to mention wholly more objective & detached; a bit like
    actually being in a lucid dream then only you also know it's actually the waking world... it feels a bit like that but not exactly like that... the detachment is the same though, the 'mood' of the dreamer is brought
    through into waking...

    cc might have said it was just a sophisticated way of removing oneself
    from the daily world, perhaps somewhat similar to that achieved by dealing with petty tyrants etc, only this is done via WILDing instead...

    either way, ya ends up seeing life, the universe & the world more as it 'actually' is rather than via how we've been taught to perceive it; it's
    the world minus the gloss + indoctrination of society that tells us what
    it's all 'supposed' to be & mean but which obviously isn't from a new pov!

    i could also say it's the same way an outsider sees/views the daily world;
    he already knows what everything is and means, and/or is 'supposed' to
    mean (a bus is still a bus and a car is still a car) only they all now
    look slightly different somehow + have slightly different meanings &
    values to you (in that world cars are horrible mechanical clanking things
    for example heh, actually ugly)

    a better, fuller, human being is the result! an expanded awareness = an expanded perception and expanded understanding of the whole; everything is
    the same but looks different! feels different! means something different
    too heh ;)

    iow: a genuine 'alternate' pov emerges where we only had the one single
    pov before, one we never really questioned or probed too much (took for
    granted iow) because we didn't have anything else to compare it to! (well
    we did, only we were totally unconscious of it, calling it 'sleep' because
    we weren't there consciously enough to take it all in, stupid random
    dreams & dreaming could thus easily be ignored + discounted as meaning
    very little or demanding much attention, lsd providing only a hint...)

    or, i could say it brings-out the other side of our coin and completes us
    in some way, enables us in ways we've never even imagined... a whole
    missing 3rd to our lives that we just never questioned or probed beyond a
    point but which is actually crucial to our making intelligent + inform decisions about our life here on earth etc... totally alters them anyway

    i.e., i could go on & on forever like this and still not convey to you
    just what WILDing on this scale can & does accomplish, the only 'real' way
    to understand it being to see and understand all this for yourself, first-hand...

    smile, then we could have a jolly good debate about what it does & doesn't
    make it all worthwhile or not and in what ways etc etc... i mean, one
    could prolly obtain the same understanding via 20 solid years of
    meditation maybe, but that's a lotta work when you could potentially
    arrive at that same understanding in say only 6 months WILDing instead?

    that in that sense it's an advanced form of meditation! one that very
    rapidly brings a person to another complete (or more complete then)
    version of everything and what it all means to you and for you! one is
    thus presented with an alternate world view!

    basically, plus knowing what you already know about it + the few
    experiences you already have of it, you could easily, in say only a month
    of solid effort, completely master WILDing and thus be debating the
    answers with me directly instead of just wondering...

    you 'could' do this! amazingly anyone can! but to DO so you'd really have
    to make up your mind to get it done! to not stop UNTIL it's done! kinda thing... it can't thus be done part-time and/or randomly to start... ya'd really have to go for it: bigtime! one-time! and not stop until you know
    you can...

    and coz that's wot lazy bums like us just have to do or they never go far enough with it to make it count hehe ;)

    talking & describing only provides the smallest glimpse (like reading a
    book) it can give you an 'idea' of how to proceed but not the experience itself?

    to do it or not to do it, that's the question you have to ask yourself now matey ;)

    i say go for it boss! whoo-hoo!

    and let it all hang out maan haha :)))

    ### - then you have to do the real work to earn those things to take to
    the bank innit :)



    empty sacks are useless.

    ### - they're like books, just talk unless ya actually DO something more
    than just read 'em?

    books are only fingers pointing at the moon ;)





    playtime is great
    but back under ya go. waking realty is like
    being on the chain-gang still. Nothing changes.

    ### - it's not the world that changes, it's you that changes and then sees
    that same world differently, that difference allowing different (or more
    then) things that one can do that you couldn't see to do before... (the
    higher up the hill you are is the farther towards the horizon one can then
    see, so to speak - so start climbing!)





    same old shit, ask yourself is this as good
    as it is going to get?

    ### - via humanity's current perception of the whole this is the shit we
    gots, it's an accurate reflection of us on the inside, so it (the world)
    wont change until we do...




    What's going to change
    here?

    ### - 'you' will change... people will change & grow and thus come up with
    some better shit than this crummy hellhole we call home...



    what will be different in twenty years
    if we live that long? You have to ask yourself
    that question. again is this as good as you can get?

    ### - the world is the crappy way it is because humanity (who built it) is crappy (the simplest answer heh) :)

    but if we stop being quite so crappy and grow some, this will be reflected
    & expressed in the world we then create & build accordingly...

    this not being summat that could ever happen overnight, for some it will
    (you for instance and others) but not everyone, so then it's actually a
    means to an end... we're stuck where we are because we cling to our
    familiar ways is all...

    in order to change that situation/evolve we have to start doing some new/different shit is all, and WILDing does it in an intelligently useful manner! (or i wouldn't have even bothered with all this in the first
    place...)

    you've talked the talk and even walked some of the walk, but now ya gots
    to do it right and go ALL the way with it, or you'll only end up with
    summat fairly interesting to talk about rather than actually be able to
    do...

    what have ya gots to lose other than the routine that's boring ya to distraction anyway hehe...

    i.e., don't just TALK about it - DO it! :)

    do it...

    Well you right about it being reflection of us on the inside.
    How do you think we got a president from this bogus 'seeing'?
    PT Barnum & Bailey over the falls in a bathtub. (picture that)

    awww you poor boy (slider stroke mr-chips + is that what ya really wanna

    after all, a whole species living in a kinda living-nightmare of a world
    where ya gets shit like a trumpy's waving the whip in your puss all the
    time? awww...

    ok done, gots it all outta the system heh (what a pile of puke! that
    much?? lol)

    boy you were full of shit there hah!

    now then... you still gots a decision to make innit...

    you either gonna do summat... or do fuck all?

    coz that's what it all comes down in the end huh, no one can take a step
    for ya...

    now walk you fucker you! crawl if'n ya have to! but whatever ya do don't
    stand still any longer or you's gonna get fuckin' run over standing
    there...

    commit! commit-commit!!! :)

    (slider singin') jump you fucker jump!
    jump into this here blanket wot we is holdin'
    and you will be alright...
    so he jumped

    ### - while we're still on the topic, have a gander at this fucker daniel
    love and his crummy ideas re WILDs & WILDing, i had long debates with him
    and his chums over it so all the references here to 'other people' means
    yours truly as i'm the only one still currently saying/suggesting any
    different to what is now the 'old' + crappy way laberge instructed people
    to WILD, one that creates the false impression that it's actually the more advanced technique involving wbtb and even sp!

    https://www.thelucidguide.com/post/wild-vs-dild-the-clash-of-the-preferences?fbclid=IwAR35xIftUrSyzdG5u79dtfWoyjfQp-xG6f25UkbqzL0jduPwlOWPkT3vEr4

    but laberge was just wrong in this but really believed it himself + this
    also explains why he then went all-in on dilds as being the way forward
    and justified it thus!

    but he gots that totally wrong ya know, and so missed an absolute 'gem'
    when he sidelined WILDs? (oop's!)

    had he, for example, presented WILDs first instead of DILDs, we'd likely
    be living in a very different world already as WILDs would then be the
    norm and dilds the more advanced technique, what a blunder!

    so now we gots to put up with the likes of mr love & Co (he's showing
    anything but love to me in this article as he defends his own position
    huh) preaching anti-WILDs in a forlorn effort to maintain dilds as being a 'more' viable option than WILDing is or might be heh, especially for
    beginners lol (he's misleading the beginners! what a dick!)

    i think, basically, because from his pov, if what i've been
    saying/suggesting is actually correct (and am very sure it is + can very
    easily argue/debate it too on any level and they can't catch me out +
    that's precisely what they don't like/fear etc, my arguement for WILDs is stronger than theirs for dilds!) then his total investment in dilding has
    now been made redundant and he don't wanna change even if it IS better!
    (that's called pride, for example, which you can read from his sarcastic overtones really trying not to sound sarcastic but not quite making it in favour of establishing his own now challenged pov instead ('other' people
    heh) and that's a mistake! he's not really being honest here on behalf of
    other people and only speaking for his own hurt feelings on the matter and screw whatever anyone else says...)

    which all in all is actually quite a shame and not something i at all
    foresaw nor allowed for?

    like here's me actually thinkin' people is gonna be sooo glad to at last
    get hold of a far easier way of getting into a lucid dream heh, a wholly
    more predictable way with no more fucking about just 'trying' to lucid
    dream + a chance to move on from just that alone to more of the exploring
    side of things + several bonus realisations into the bargain to-boot via
    views just not afforded by dilds alone... and what did i get??

    a bunch of old fogies and farts not liking he idea at all and then
    dishonestly deliberately standing in the way rather than even actually
    look into it all?? (have fixed ideas about it see? wont even try it
    because he already knows it can't work etc)

    fuck that! these people aren't explorers and adventurers, they're just a
    bunch of stuck in the muds!

    we like things the way they are!!! coz that's what we're used to??

    duh! dufuses all lol, slow-coaches! slackers? LOL !

    they not actually 'caring' if am correct or not, all they apparently care
    about is the little world they've personally built up around them teaching people to dild heh...

    sorry 'bout that hah! but you's just became redundant then because things
    has moved on and you don't seem to be moving on with it!

    that guy daryl which i posted, now he's actually one of that group believe
    it or not, one of the very few that's apparently decided to actually check
    it out rather than just listening to their teachers who're tellin' 'em not
    to even bother with it via such articles heh...

    and imho it's precisely people like this daryl that's gonna finally bring
    their little world crashing down around their ears too when he reports
    back to them that they's actually completely fuckin' wrong? lol :)))

    what they gonna do then eh? especially after publishing this particular
    article in defense of their former position, which btw is also incorrect
    hah!

    should have checked it out daniel instead of just resenting the
    implication, you thought more of yourself than your students here and
    they's prolly gonna find that out too now?

    aww poor daniel lol, you poor boy ahaha :)))

    i mean, he's just so horrible and slimey about it that it's hard to feel
    any sympathy for him?

    ### - this is part of the continuing conversation/exchange am currently
    having with that guy daryl + some of the possible conclusions people like
    him are typically reaching/having on their way to WILDing, this not being
    the first time i've heard this particular idea from well-read peeps trying
    to figure it all out...

    he just now replying back to me here (he's put my previous words in quotes)

    Thanks again Brian, where you are in your life and your lifestyle and your attitude helps to provide context and understanding to this new form of WILDing.

    “don't doubt that all the things people claim 'can' be achieved via lucid dreaming are indeed achievable, especially if it involves WILDs if only
    because of the ease of repeating the experiences more regularly and on
    demand instead “

    This is exactly how I feel. “On demand” allows for experiments to be repeated if success is not achieved immediately. For healing, for example, because the experience of healing can be so intense in a lucid dream, if
    it doesn’t physically manifest right away it’s easy to assume it doesn’t work and the experience can be rationalized away as non-achievable. But
    many times healings have been known to take effect when it was done
    repeatedly thru multiple lucid dreams... so “repeatability” can be key in this area of research.

    Also, I have a feeling the midpoint is related to the “primal state of being” (not sure exactly the term that is used) that is described in Dream Yoga. It is described as a dark void and also a “state of being” (vs a state of doing) in which ideas/images/experiences are created out of. Ideas/images/experiences are words that describe and define both what “dream” and “dreaming” are, so iow this “state of being” gives birth to
    dreams. Which is exactly what you describe when being in/at the Midway point....

    “the person i am/become while standing at the midway point is different to
    my usual self + i think i actually prefer it because it (whatever it is)
    is actually very comfortable and doesn't appear to need anything whatsoever..”

    In certain eastern doctrines and in Dream Yoga, when a person is in this
    primal “State of Being” they are supposed to be experiencing their Truer Self and the feelings you describe are very similar to the ones they
    suggest a person would feel in this state. The idea is, it’s like being
    one with your higher self, and that your desires are most likely to be automatically manifested from this POV, because you’re in touch with your power. (No “doing” required)

    “from the midway pov, which is like some kind of jumping-off platform, i don't know how else to describe it, but that's what it is, you can go
    anywhere and do anything from that pov”

    And this is another attribute that is also described in the primal state
    of being, that you don’t have to wait around for desires to automatically manifest, you can take an active role in manifesting from this POV if you wish... which is what you are doing.

    I’m just mentioning all this because even though this is a new experience
    and no doubt a new type of WILDing when comparing it to what most lucid dreamers think WILDs are, it still can be reconciled with many of the
    ancient practices that have been around forever, only this time around we don’t have to move into the monastery and spend our whole lives in
    meditation :)

    ***

    his stuff about some kinda 'primal' being or nature, is probably correct?
    coz that's exactly what it feels like when standing at said midway point
    in the utter dark; some kind of 'super-knowing' comes upon you there and
    one feels that nada is hidden? You even feel like you know all there IS to know, kinda thing, it's a very powerful (and ultimately empowering)
    sensation!

    i guess cc would have called this inner-silence & inner-knowledge, a 'silent-knowing' that is filled to the brim with a sensation of complete & utter confidence!

    mr chips was asking; so fucking what + what does 'that' do for us, kinda
    thing? he wants something 'concrete' to bank? - well there it is then:
    it's touching a (or even the) 'source' of it all and knowing/realising
    what it is and all means!

    and no, ya don't have to spend a lifetime in a monastery meditating first
    in order to reach it either, which is actually part of the beauty + sheer elegance that is: WILDing.

    iow: this is advanced shit people! haha (true!)

    and coz ya didn't honestly think old slider would bring ya's just any old
    crap did ya? moi??

    Marjolijn on facebook:
    I am not 100% sure but I think I had a sort of WILD ! I woke up early this morning and slumbered on realizing this would be a good moment to “step
    into a dream”. As soon as I saw some colors I focused on it and it became
    a beach and the ocean and I decided to enter the scenery telling myself
    that is was a dream. Then the usual happened, I got too excited and it
    faded. But what do you all think, would you call this a WILD?

    (i replied) A good WILD! :)

    Making it happen deliberately, just the way you did it, being the
    difference between random lucid dreaming as with dilds, and volitional
    dreaming as with WILDs, so well done :)

    Do this enough times to establish it as a working practice, also try to accomplish exactly the same thing at normal bedtimes too, which is a
    little more difficult but yields huge rewards in terms of then being able
    to WILD at any time of the day or night...

    You really did it! So now claim it all for yourself totally :)

    Ps. It's ok if it ends fairly quickly at first, the thing to remember
    being that once you've done it like that even just the once and have
    bounced out, you can then also go straight back in again several times and prolong the session that way, then after a while of bouncing like that you
    get this 'choice' to remain in a dream for as long as you like, and that's
    when it starts getting really interesting...

    Rachael Watson
    I have a question about the physical surrounding when trying to WILD. I
    just took a nap and was alert throughout - my body was numb and sort of dislocated (almost seeming separate but I could still sense it). I reached
    what I have previous considered the midpoint where it is all black and I
    seem to hang there mentally. However, at this point I can still hear the external world - rain on the window or someone running a tap in the
    bathroom next door. Should I not be sensing the physical
    World in this way at this point? It feels to me deeply meditative and
    restful and my body is extremely heavy etc but I still hear things around
    me in the physical world.

    Can I ask your opinion? Am I not there yet and this is not the midway
    point at all?

    (i replied)
    I've been in a similar position of standing in complete darkness like that
    and hearing sounds from my room at the same time, so it sure sounds like
    it, or at least a clear touch of it :)

    Perception in that place is very strange though and doesn't appear to be
    nailed down, this time you were perhaps more focussed on the physical side
    of things so it went more that way and you explored that side of it, but
    it can also go/lean the other way and be equally aware of being in a dream
    and standing midway...

    Better still, is when having been back and forth a few times in either direction, you settle quite deliberately, by choice, smack-bang right in
    the middle of that midway point alone, you will still be somehow fully
    aware of either side being there but be balanced/centered quite firmly in
    the middle and know this to be the case, and from there on in it all
    becomes self explanitory, although please don't ask me to explain it in rational terms because there's nada rational about it lol ;)

    If you've genuinely reached this midway point then that's a real
    achievement imho, it's there all the time but we typically skip over it on
    our way into a dream and back out again, many people dilding also mention
    it going black just before they woke from their dream and so would even
    appear to be universal, if not actually instrumental in some way...

    From this midway position, entering a full WILD is a cinch, literally on demand! Ask for anything and it appears, older dreams can be called and revisted for example, people too can be asked for. Ditto being back in bed too... Perception becomes somehow tripled?

    And this because we are seemingly in all three places at the same time
    anyway, possibly even 'all' the time even when we're awake lol (don't ask haha), it's crazy but all makes perfect sense when standing at the midway
    point itself, there's no other way to describe it?

    Everything deepens at the midway point and we turn/expand into different people, totally unknown to ourselves but also somehow very familiar and reassuring + there's a confidence that comes with it that seems
    irrefutable? There's wisdom at the midway point!

    In truth, i dunno what the hell this actually is haha + no doubt theories
    will abound as people probe & explore it plus try to then correlate it to
    other things, beliefs & practices, all i know for myself is that it
    represents some kind of 'jumping-off' platform, with the distinct feeling
    of we can go anywhere from there! That if there's anywhere 'to' go we can almost certainly reach it from there!

    Anyone else reaching this midway point/position (the firmly in the middle
    bit) will then be exactly where i am too with all this, your guess being
    just as good as mine where we all go with it after that heh, it seems
    endless + am dying to know ;)

    ***

    ### - a nice example of people inquiring about the midway point etc,
    although here, with this particular lady and several other people too just
    of late, i think too is finally an example of some of the 'big-fish'
    having a nibble at what wont seem to just go away? :)

    i.e., have had many questions put to me over the last 4 years by different people, but just of late there has been several new faces all asking far
    more 'exacting' questions, the feeling is they keep trying to catch me out
    in one thing or another albeit very politely & intelligently, like really they're speaking from the pov of actually having great experience
    themselves and are just trying to sound me and this alternate version of
    WILDs out, to find holes in the theory because it differs radically from laberge's mapping + categorising of them, AND his instructions for doing
    them too!

    iow: methinks all this has maybe now finally come to the attention of the upper-crust in lucid dreaming circles heh, luckily for moi none of this is
    bs on my part, there may be things i indeed don't yet understand, but none
    of this is - or has been - being made up!

    the facts being that there's actually some very interesting aspects to
    WILDs & WILDing that obviously hasn't really yet been all put together,
    and this midway point as a jumping-off platform to alternate experiences,
    is defo one of them!

    so it's good if these big-wigs of the lucid dreaming community are looking
    at it now, because when THEY manage to replicate/reproduce my results -
    and am quietly confident they will - news of it will perhaps then start to reach into other circles to be examined there too, including perhaps, and
    even eventually, the public domain too ;)

    (side note: before i published the book i actually wrote to laberge asking
    if he would like to maybe review an advance copy of it, plus that if he
    liked it/approved, to maybe even write a foreword to it? i was so
    fucked-about by his private staff however that i eventually dropped the
    idea and published it without his foreword or approval hah, although am
    sure he still maybe got to hear about its forthcoming publication, the
    letter i wrote him being a very formal one, and a doozy, which his 'staff' replied back to - plus perhaps he 'might' now even be regretting not
    having gotten back to me more formally that time huh, especially if this
    all turns into something far bigger than dilds, and because, if nada else,
    if am correct then my version of WILDing supersedes his + reveals a few
    things he actually missed and he'd certainly wanna know about that innit)

    ### - this being a continuation of the conversation with the lady Rachael,
    who inadvertently lets herself be pulled into a semi-conscious state upon laying down and seeing these little dreamlets instead of waiting for the hypnagogia to appear, this being a left-over from her previous obe/astral-projection practices which is proving quite difficult for her
    to amend in order to just WILD, have tried suggesting she use those
    dreamlets 'as' hypnagogia for example, only she's prolly not trying that
    as yet...

    i.e.,

    today she wrote:
    one for you Brian - apparently the Dalai Lama said that to go from the
    waking state to
    The dreaming state is the highest achievement of the yogi (again I am
    listening to Andrew Holecek who says it’s incredibly
    difficult...particularly at the beginning of the night). You don’t agree
    with this at all?


    (have just repied)
    I agree that it appears to be an advanced form of meditation as far as the tibetan buddhists are concerned, but that doesn't mean it's difficult ;)

    i.e., They apparently spend nearly a lifetime first getting the right
    state of mind together via different/other forms of meditation and that
    way kinda work their way up to WILDing, which, according to them, is
    crucial to their goals & final aims...

    However, WILDing itself apparently isn't that difficult to do or i
    personally wouldn't be able to do it as i don't consider myself to be particularly skilled in that direction, am not a natural, i did learn a
    bit of zen meditation many years ago but only just enough to find some
    peace & balance in my then fairly chaotic young life, and did even have
    some quite nice experiences via it although it was nada at all to do with dreaming nor anything like it...

    I'd forget what other people are saying/suggesting re it being difficult
    etc, as it's only difficult if you try to go about it the old way of doing
    it, like laberge suggested, involving wbtb and sp and all that nonsense,
    do it that way and yes dealing with sp is apparently horrible (have never experienced it myself though for instance) whereas getting to see just the hypnagogia alone while one is still fully awake is actually a fairly
    simple matter and only takes a little practice of not falling asleep to do so...

    Best advice then is to just put aside your dreamlets for now (interesting though they maybe are) and come back to them later when you've perfected -
    and thus seen for yourself - just how relatively easy it is to WILD off of
    just the hypnagogia alone, this would mean you deliberately setting about learning to relax yourself only just enough to see the hypnagogia (it
    doesn't actually matter 'how' you get to see them, there must be dozens of different available ways? but deliberately relaxing the body just enough
    to see them is something simple that anyone can easily learn to do as a starting point & takes maybe a week for example) the 'challenge' being to
    get to see them without automatically falling asleep or sinking too deep
    and getting sp (sp being proof of actual sleep) and to learn instead to
    hold back from that just enough to be able to then gaze at the hypnagogia
    for a suitable enough length of time (a few minutes is plenty really once
    you know what you're doing)

    Someone i spoke to only yesterday, for example, was asking if they really
    need to learn the first part seeing as they tend to see the hypnagogia
    almost immediately anyway (lucky them! They must be in a semi-altered
    state all the time maybe?)

    Fact is, everyone sees these hypnagogia every time they go to sleep anyway
    only they usually never remember that part (if they didn't see them they wouldn't then be able to fall asleep at all as this is how everyone
    usually enters into sleep albeit completely unconsciously) something we
    had to learn to let keep happening as we got older until we perfected just letting it happen instead of questioning it...

    imho, the reason you're having any difficulty at all, is because you're
    not really being very 'deliberate' about it, WILDs being the volitional
    side of lucid dreaming it's this 'volitional' aspect of it that we thus
    have to learn to actually implement & do...

    So start again from the beginning Rachael with just laying down and gently relaxing in the suggested manner (just a series of breaths really) and
    until you notice some slightly odd sensations in your body as described
    (e.g., one lady described her body as feeling like a blob at one point but
    it's really not necessary to go that far) that just as soon as you notice
    your hands (or whatever) starting to feel odd in some small way, that
    that's the time to then deliberately switch to exclusively looking for the hypnagogia, and this way 'you' are in-charge of the events as they unfold instead of suddenly finding yourself in a situation you didn't
    deliberately create yourself, kinda thing?

    Then there wont be any mistakes, but 'you' have to control it and thus be in-control of it or it doesn't count (flukes don't count except maybe as example experiences)

    If you find yourself slipping back into old ways (playing with the
    dreamlets or whatever) then just as soon as you realise it pull back from
    that and set yourself again to just laying there looking for the
    hypnagogia, eventually they'll turn up, probably when you can shut/screen everything else out, plus am keeping my fingers crossed for you now ok, so
    give it a good go :)

    ***

    ### - i think she's going to make it heh + this necessary tweak to her old routine that she's now seeking to implement is curious just in itself, revealing how we can quite easily just get stuck in new ways; we fall out
    of one hole straight into another and feel right at home, and then it's
    just as-hard hard to get outta there hah... so defo creatures of habit i
    mean

    the same thing applying to dild-doers, in that their expectations tend to
    have become fixed exclusively in those terms alone and this apparently
    then makes it difficult to change it again to something else, the
    old-habit dying-hard and not without a struggle, persistence, of course,
    being the way to ultimately solve any problem provided one can stick with
    it long enough, perforce which is where our 'real' problems lie heh, in
    that: no one can be really bothered to do anything too much or for too
    long haha, we all as indolent and lazy as-fuck by default! :)))

    so now get up OFF your fat asses and DO the damn work dammit! lol

    coz THAT's the only way it's ever gonna happen see??

    that this ISN'T about 'waiting' for a chance to arrive to take advantage
    of, this is about 'creating' the whole situation yourself, from the
    beginning!

    of deliberately GIVING this TO yourself!

    b'coz ya's deserves it see? ;)

    (it might just also be the last train leaving the damn station heh, so
    aaall aboooard?)

    ### - update on 'The WILD way To Lucid Dreaming' 9 months on :)

    it isn't doin' too bad all things considered, although defo not the
    immediate rise in popularity i'd hoped for/expected in the lucid dreaming community itself; we are slowcoaches, old habits do indeed apparently die
    hard :)

    even so, there's now 1,270 members in the still-growing WILDs & WILDing fb group with 2 or 3 new members joining daily, and with plenty of peeps
    managing to reproduce my results exactly now too, no problemo!

    book sales having reached 467 from 21 different countries around the
    globe (cool) with still a 60/40 split in favour of ebooks, and with also approximately 1000 copies now given away free to-boot...

    the youtube channel currently having 237 subscribers to the videos (1000 needed) so we're about a quarter of the way there... the videos themselves having collected 9,245 views producing a total of 637.4 watched hours
    between them, the first one in the series (part 1: introduction) having
    2,146 views just on its own since first published in nov last...

    the channel itself (which includes all my old songs as well) having now
    reached a total of 21,162 views, producing a total of 1,236 hours of
    watched video (4,000 hours needed) so is again just over a quarter of the
    way there, and with thus maybe another 18 months/2-years to go at the
    current rate of spread, although it might pick-up some with WILDs now
    clearly gaining in popularity in the community as people's frustration
    with those unreliable/sleepy dilds continues (one can only live in hope
    huh)

    a slow but steady growth then, so am generally quite pleased with it all
    anyway and will keep going, the author's trust-fund kitty has also grown
    to £450 now saved towards it, being self-published there's a minimum £1000 required to create a legal means to continue publication of the book for
    70 years after i've kicked the proverbial bucket heh, the plan being to set
    up the fund minimally asap and then add any bells & whistles to it later as funds permit...

    and 'coz what else can a poor boy do :)

    added note: have had a fabulous idea for a 'charity' that could be later attached to the authors fund so that any revenue from the book feeds into
    a charitable fund, the book and its copyright being legally
    donated/transfered
    to said charity upon my departure; the innovation being to how the charity
    (and it's equally innovative website) will thus be run to ensure that the maximum-possible from donations anywhere actually reaches its intended
    targets ;)

    something that could then possibly inspire (heh) 'other' charities to
    conduct
    themselves in a similarly transparent fashion or lose out! - an idea i just love considering how much even the best of them very likely rip people off
    by having to maintain hugely expensive organisations hah!

    e.g., that recent captain tom charity-walk that raised an amazing £30
    million
    pounds in only 4 weeks had 5% of that total (1.5 million!) docked by the fund-raising site involved to cover their, erm: 'expenses'?? claiming they
    had 150 staff to pay for example!? well duh! 1.5 million expenses huh??

    smile, so anything i could do to possibly give them all a kick up the
    behind
    + even modify funding-sites such as the above, would please me no end
    haha...

    (just needs loads'a money to set it all up is all, lol now c'mon you
    horsies!
    old uncle william hill would make a great benefactor to the cause hehehe
    :)))

    ### - someone mentioned this in the WILDing group today heh ;)

    Rachael wrote:
    "I am listening to the audiobook of Joe Dispenza’s book Becoming
    Supernatural and in chapter one (about 45-55 minutes in) he recounts a
    lucid dreaming WILD experience that is almost identical to how describe
    it. He talks of knowing he could access any number of realities or.
    Moments in time whilst also being aware of himself sitting on the sofa in
    the present moment. I wondered if you are at all familiar with this work?
    He recommends deep meditation to retrain the subconscious and heal the
    body but I am thinking if people could WILD regularly they could go
    straight to the right mental place to start making these changes...

    Anyway it’s worth a listen/read if you haven’t come across it because a) it’s interesting and b) his description is so similar to the way you
    describe the midpoint and the WILDing process."

    and so i replied :)

    That 'is' interesting! Haven't heard of him before + as far as i know no
    one else had mentioned a midway point type-awareness before mine except
    perhaps couched in other, more mystical + eastern terms? And then i see he
    only published his book in oct 2017, a full 18 months after mine, so maybe
    then the question should instead be: is 'he' perhaps familiar with my
    work? (smile) ;)

    The flip side to this perforce being that am actually happy if other
    people are finally beginning to also see the potential of all this too +
    imho there will indeed be plenty more authors to come as all this
    gradually emerges into the public domain, lots more + here's hoping! :)

    ### - our friend Darly Lang came back on this too, writing:


    "Dispenza’s is great as a speaker and writing books, but what he may be
    doing is what is going to start happening more and more in our time... he
    has a mystical experience and then shouts “wow, I’ve discovered something so mind blowing and unique that I have to tell the world about it”, not realizing that he has just experienced a WILD and that although it is mind blowing, it is actually something that is becoming more and more
    commonplace. My prediction is that more and more people in the consensus
    will start experiencing WILDs and then re-label and repackage it into a
    product or book. Maybe this is a good thing cause it will reach a wider audience in a way that The Wild Way book has not yet done (as it’s sort of
    a fringe thing for now), but it’s kinda funny in a way that Dispenza is
    maybe just scraping the surface on this and possibly making it more
    complicated than it really needs to be? (I haven’t read his book, just guessing)

    On a slightly different note, I attended an online Lucid Dreaming seminar
    by Robert Waggoner and the Dzogchen Community yesterday. I missed the
    first part of it so I have to watch the replay, but there was talk on the emphasis of practicing lucid dreaming techniques at bedtime that sounded
    eerily familiar to what Brian has been suggesting. I’m also reading a book
    by Charlie Morley “Dreams of Awakening” it’s quite a comprehensive read, but one of many techniques he talks about is hypnogogia and the direct
    entrance into a lucid dream. (Was written in 2013 I believe, before the
    WildWay was published but Brian’s work and experimentation goes back
    further to 2002 as discussed in another post)

    I guess the general lucid dreaming community is starting to catch up :)"


    (i replied)
    I think you're right with the community starting to catch-up, the WILD experience itself being so unmistakably powerful and clear that it just
    can't be denied, even if someone doesn't like the idea for whatever
    personal reasons, it's there and isn't going to go away

    To the point that many of the leading lights among us are also having to
    now take it into consideration and look at WILDs again, previous
    explanations for them (many of them typically dismissive in terms of WILDs being only some kind of perhaps more exotic/outlandish + far more
    difficult practice altogether) gradually fading in-light of completely
    ordinary people increasingly being able to experience them without very
    much difficulty at all, and this regardless of their personal beliefs & background education, something which, imho, is very cool indeed because
    it throws the experience right out there for just about anyone to have and
    to enjoy :)

    I haven't read any of Dr Dispenza's work, but from what i can quite
    quickly see from his books is his penchant for the mystical approach, he
    loves all that, it is, you could say, his religion in that sense... That
    he accordingly + quite naturally then slots everything he finds into that
    same agenda, and he might even be right who knows! WILDs obviously has its place in the grand scheme of things (quite a big if not major one
    according to the buddhists) only we've yet to find out what that grand
    scheme really + actually is in practical western terms, its potential correlations to oh-so many 'different' works of literature & religions throughout history making the ultimate understanding of it difficult to
    say the least, plus at some point someone is surely going to have to do
    all that work of finally unraveling it all...

    That 'because' WILDs are relatively so attainable, all the different & differing schools of thought will eventually thus be forced to make their
    own interpretations of what's going on with them + why, their explanations necessarily coloured by their own particular agendas can then all be
    compared to all the others and some kind of perhaps more unified theory
    then proposed and/or drawn from it...

    As for myself, i wasn't trying to be mystical nor looking for
    mystical-type explanations for anything at the time, i was merely trying
    to lucid dream and failing badly, nada seemed to be working and i was
    growing bored with the whole deal, the hypnagogia i then started to
    experience and play around with some, being an interesting albeit
    unrelated side-issue as far as i was concerned, my surprise being immense
    when one night they pulled/zoomed me into a lucid dreaming state! (Yikes! W.T..?? ahaha!) The basic 'mechanics' of them actually being really so
    very simple indeed: you gaze at hypnagogia and 'they' pull you in! Either
    into an unconscious sleep as per usual or that of a full WILD! The choice
    of which is actually + ultimately ours!

    That in that sense, we do indeed appear to be standing upon the brink of a whole new era of exploration of 'inner-space', the access to it that WILDs seemingly ultimately provides, bringing it that much closer to us for examination & mapping by an order of several magnitudes, it's going to be
    fun!

    Meanwhile, and although i do so greatly enjoy these wonderful exchanges, i
    have to get-back again now to my, erm, day job, as i jokingly see it? hehe

    ### - (still laffing at that above clip hehe) charles morley - i posted
    one of his articles on WILDs here previously - being someone who strongly advocates for the dilds pov and has thus built-up quite a following via
    many books & videos, who acknowledges WILDs (as indeed did laberge) only
    to then similarly dismiss them as being a difficult + advanced technique,
    one necessarily involving scary sleep paralysis and the wbtb technique in
    order to function...

    an explanation & definition/description now made redundant by the advent
    of hitting a WILD via the far more simple + painless hypnagogic-approach instead, the prospect of sp being something which had initially put many
    people off but the elimination of which now makes WILDs universally
    available to all & sundry, cool :)

    "I am listening to the audiobook of Joe Dispenza’s book Becoming Supernatural and in chapter one (about 45-55 minutes in) he recounts a lucid dreaming WILD experience that is almost identical to how describe
    it. He talks of knowing he could access any number of realities or.
    Moments in time whilst also being aware of himself sitting on the sofa in the present moment. I wondered if you are at all familiar with this work? He recommends deep meditation to retrain the subconscious and heal the
    body but I am thinking if people could WILD regularly they could go straight to the right mental place to start making these changes...

    Anyway it’s worth a listen/read if you haven’t come across it because a)

    it’s interesting and b) his description is so similar to the way you describe the midpoint and the WILDing process."

    and so i replied :)

    That 'is' interesting! Haven't heard of him before + as far as i know no one else had mentioned a midway point type-awareness before mine except perhaps couched in other, more mystical + eastern terms? And then i see he only published his book in oct 2017, a full 18 months after mine, so maybe then the question should instead be: is 'he' perhaps familiar with my
    work? (smile) ;)

    The flip side to this perforce being that am actually happy if other
    people are finally beginning to also see the potential of all this too + imho there will indeed be plenty more authors to come as all this
    gradually emerges into the public domain, lots more + here's hoping! :)

    ***

    funny story haha ;)

    The market is glutted with charlatans slider.
    Your just another con artist projecting utopia.
    It took from 1998 to 2015 for you to (lie) hypnotize yourself.
    Cancel culture shall swallow you like Jonah in the belly of the whale.

    Your posting the bullets fired in your direction.
    Your too old and stupid too realize todays victim is tomorrow's stalker.


    You earned this disgrace.

    ### - this encouraging reply today from a newbie who was asking for tips
    re lucid dreaming and i'd posted him a link to the video-playlist...

    Tristan Baker Brian Aherne wow, this is amazing... so I realise that I
    have been doing steps 1-2 for quite some time. Staying in the state of hypnagogia for hours at a time before going to sleep.

    Most of the time I had to find away to actually go to sleep. Thank you for
    this share!

    ***

    i.e., here's someone whose been on the brink of WILDing for quite some
    time without ever realising it heh, the videos thus making immediate +
    perfect sense to him in terms of explaining just what he has been actually playing with all along albeit completely unawares?

    that having long-achieved the hypnagogic state all by himself without any coaching (the only difficult part involved in learning to WILD is getting
    to see them) all he has to do now is treat those images in the suggested
    manner in order to either enter directly into a full WILD, or to fall
    asleep, depending on what he wants to do!

    something which makes me wonder just how many 'other' peeps are perhaps
    out there in a similar position to his? people who're hypnagogic-aware but that's all!

    these hypnagogia being something i too played around with for quite some
    time before one night accidentally tripping-over a full WILD and
    discovering just what extraordinary things you can do with them that way!

    accordingly, plus having already done all the hard work, i thus don't
    doubt that 'this' dude will be an expert WILDer in virtually (pun
    intended) no time at all hehe...

    something which is indeed actually very encouraging :)

    after reading your book. Still I'm no expert but definitely getting
    better. Great book.

    ### - received this back today from someone making an inquiry re obtaining
    the book and the available formats, their reported experience being quite typical with all the standard methods of learning to lucid dream... the
    nature of his question (is it in epub format) prompting me to go have a
    look at the apple itunes store to maybe get the book selling on there too (dunno why i didn't think of it before? lol) cheer doni! :)


    Hi Slider (Brian),

    Thank you for the reply. I already bought it from Amazon Kindle store two
    days ago. Very happy with the purchase. I am reading it for the third time
    now. Actually I am exactly the kind of guy your book is written for. Being right now so frustrated with many, many unsuccessful lucid dreaming
    attempts during the last 6 months. Totally amazed by what you teach. So different from what I have learned from many other authors. I also joined
    The Wild Way facebook group. Hopefully I will succeed this time.

    Thank you again.

    Regards.
    Doni (Victor)

    ### - smile, there's now 34 very positive reviews for the book all singing
    its praises in one way or another, versus only 3 or 4 negative ones left
    on amazon; all of which (including jeremy's) without exception are
    cockeyed anyway?

    one lady complaining, for example, in her defense of dilds, that am
    setting people up to fail because WILDs are impossible anyway as it takes
    a few hours to get into a rem-state so how could it possibly ever work
    this way? i debated all this with her on FB prior to her review and she
    became rather annoyed and so deliberately then, out of petty spite only,
    bought a copy just in order to leave a negative 1-star review!? (duh!)

    i mean, 34 people can't ALL be wrong can they??

    not a chance peeps! i wouldn't have even bothered with it at all if i'd
    thought there was any chance it didn't really work? in fact it was only
    that it works so startlingly well that prompted me to publish the results
    of my research in the first place!

    http://www.thewildway.com/files/reviews.htm

    cool :)

    added note: someone just contacted me to allow them to translate it into hungarian, this making 5 other languages now it'll be translated into:
    french, italian, spanish, portuguese & hungarian!

    You promised Lucid Dreaming on demand.
    Once you had the money you said, "You have to do the work."
    A classic bait and switch, you sold a new roof but only delivered shingles.
    You lied, cheated, and stole from your targets like a typical conman hustler. The beauty of it to me is studying your journey into creating a living hell.

    Your to wrapped up in your auto hypnotic erotic messiah trance to
    go back and read the history of this group. Luckyrat was the first
    person to testify to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
    He did not pass judgement, he simply spoke the truth.

    That's why observing your journey into INFALLIBILITY is such a potent
    lesson in the subtleties of how Carlos built and entered a private abyss.

    You are GURU MESSIAH ASCENDED MASTER LIVING GODHEAD BRIAN AHERN #3 & #5

    I remain the Anti Nagual.

    Luckyrat has never revealed his secrets to me.
    And I have never revealed my secrets to Luckyrat.
    Gentleman understand that fences are another mirage of time.

    Jeremy left because he finally grasped a key point.
    That key point is his private key point impossible to breach.
    You have no insurance policies or escape hatches installed, your dead.

    it's actually kinda amazing to me really how this little book has now

    Another 'winner' in the WILDing stakes heh, his description of how he accomplished it being text book hehehe, enjoy ;)



    Dominik Wolf: from the WILDs & WILDing FB group...

    Hey,

    I just wanted announce my first success. :) This night I lay down at
    ~0:30pm. I tried to relax all my muscles and after some time, I
    sporadically took a deep breath, held it for 4 seconds, and exhaled. Upon exhaling. Upon exhaling I watched out if there were even more relaxed
    muscles.

    After about 10 to 15 minutes I noticed, that my hands were all tingly,
    that they were going numb and that my whole body felt somewhat strange.
    After that I was looking for any remaining tense part of the body and when
    I found one, I visualized, that they were sinking into the mattress.

    Then I shifted my attention to the black void behind my eyes. I relaxed my
    eyes and fixated them to a distance of about 30 to 40 centimeters. At
    first I noticed very faint blobs and streaks but after around 5 minutes
    they were growing in intensity. Then these incoherent shapes became real images. The very first image was the face of a woman in profile (from the side). However this image disappeared in a matter of milliseconds. After
    that I've seen some everyday objects like a TV remote and even landscapes.
    But again, these were visible for only milliseconds and they were kinda
    faint (like you were watching them through a dense fog; like the objects
    in ordinary dreams). I consistently had the feeling and even urge, to fall asleep. But suddenly, like someone had pushed a button, I had an intuition
    on how to keep myself away from falling unconscious. Suddenly I saw a
    really realistic 3D image of the space ship from the video game "No Man's
    Sky" in front of me. I tried to look at all details from the image, but
    the whole image disappeared in a matter of 1-2 seconds, only to pop up
    again after 1-2 seonds, only in a different perspective. After that I had
    a very realistic image of an oak tree in front of me. I looked at the
    image as a whole and then at every single detail (without concentrating on
    a particular one). This way I could keep that image several images in
    front of me. After that an even more realistic landscape appeared in front
    of me (it was truly a sight to behold). This time I only looked at one particular detail - a hay bale in the distance.

    Then things went really fast. I noticed a very intense feeling of
    physically moving forward and a kinda tingly feeling in my head. It felt
    like I was accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in merely 2 seconds. Suddenly I
    was standing in very scenery - not as a passive observer anymore but now I
    was there. I was in a lucid dream! The transistion from the hypnagogic
    state to the lucid dream was extremely sudden. So sudden indeed, that it
    was almost startling.

    I instantly noticed: This lucid dream had a whole nother quality than
    every DILD I had in the past: Much more lucid, much more stable and I had
    much more control. For example: I had difficulties in DILDS, to conjure
    items or to teleport myself to a different place. But this time it was extremely easy to conjure a golden fitness ball (the golden reflection was beautiful, might I add) and kick it across the harvested field. Suddenly,
    a whole appartment block fell from the sky and hit the ground very hard
    with a very intense quake. This startled me so much, that I woke up.

    Thank you very much Brian Aherne for making this possible. Let's get the
    hang of it (just like we had to get the hang of riding the bike without
    support wheels) and have lucid dreams every night. :)

    PS: This lucid dream gave me some wonderful side effects: I have a very
    intense whole-day euphoria, I feel energized and suddenly the whole world
    looks so incredibly beautiful (just if I was seeing my surroundings from a whole new perspective).

    Toren Burgos: In the Lucid Dreaming Facebook Group: 18th Sept 2020

    "I always recommend Brian Aherne's (slider's) method because I've never
    found anything that worked so precisely as described. And I haven't heard
    his technique described elsewhere, and if it is-- then it's not popular
    enough for anyone to find, and believe me I've looked."

    the last few dreaming episodes i have been teaching people
    how to fly in the dream. Of course i'm probably just talking
    to myself (as usual). One guy fell down from being in the
    air and i asked him if he was ok. Of course he is ok, there
    is no real pain in dreaming. Tom Hanks: "there's no crying in

    don't mean teaching peeps to lucid dream particularly, but rather maybe
    just sharing some of the things you've personally learned about life, the universe & everything with everyone around ya and meet, it doesn't have to
    be anything formal, we're not academic... vinny wrote an informal book to

    ### - this was posted on facebook the other day by some young lady in
    which she describes being in more than one place at the same time while
    lucid dreaming, she was messing about with all the stuff she's used to
    thinking about and doing via dilds and astral projection, a kind of
    melange of various techniques & methods, including WILDS, which is what i
    think it all actually + ultimately is anyway albeit described in different
    ways via the differing + variously competing schools of thought...

    Ever been in 3 bodies at once?

    It will blow your mind. #tripleperception

    When doing things that bend reality such as lucid dreaming and astral projection, sometimes we can be in different places at the same time.

    (If only I knew this at school!)

    One night, I was at the end of a third lucid dream...I'd already done my
    dream plan, so now I was just messing about.

    Freaking dream characters out by doing miracles, that sort of thing.
    At one point I happened to be in an eternal loop of opening doors that
    lead into doors that lead into doors.

    I've been here before.

    I usually change the landscape behind the door and enter into a new place,
    but this time I decided to leave the lucid dream and astral project.

    I paused, looked up at the roof and demanded 'accelerate now' with a
    strong intention to go 'out of body'.

    Suddenly I shot upwards through several floors, and the dreamscape fell
    away. I iron-manned through spectral layers of tangible space.....when I
    began to feel the vibrational state take hold. Yes!
    BUT ALAS!

    As I began to vibrate into the void (my dream-body collapsing away and energy-body taking over), I simultaneously felt my real arm hanging out of
    the blankets whilst asleep.
    I'm in 3 bodies at the same time.

    What happens next was a matter of seconds...

    My attention was instantly pulled to the cold arm. This momentarily kept
    me suspended between the dream and astral space..

    I knew I had to act fast otherwise I'd loose the momentum of the
    vibrational state and be pulled completely awake.

    I tried to ignore the cold sensation, redirecting my focus to the void but
    it was too late!
    The astral began to dissolve away and I dropped back into the lucid dream (still experiencing my physical arm in the waking state).

    Realising this was going to hinder any further progress....I let the dream
    fade away into the hypnopompic (on the cusp of wakefulness) and without
    opening my eyes or moving my body, I slowly slithered my arm back in bed.

    Success!

    As I was still deeply in the hypnopompic I was able to then WILD (Wake
    Induced Lucid Dream technique) back into the dream.

    To start again.

    Have you experienced something like this before?

    ***

    i.e., she talks about astral projection & stuff, but what she's actually talking about & describing, currently unbeknownst and unrealised on her
    part as yet, is actually all WILDs & WILDing and some fairly common
    features + aspects of it!

    this being another very good reason why total newbies actually do much
    better initially nor take so long to realise it all, as they have no prior agendas (such as the concept of astral projection etc) to have to
    deal/wrestle with first, and can instead just go straight to the core of
    it all: The Midway Point!

    that 'being' able to deliberately enter into an altered state of awareness
    and then know ourselves in a completely different manner, is really what
    lucid dreaming is ultimately all about no matter how you might like or
    want to dress it all up ;)

    we can all WILD!

    and being 'able' to do so is just another thing (albeit currently hidden/neglected) we're all capable of doing if only someone would tell us
    we can do so!

    so read my lips: We can DO it! (really laughing haha)

    we can all WILD! :D

    ### - just passed a milestone of 500 books sold! (not bad) 98% of the
    reviews all being positive!

    http://www.thewildway.com/files/reviews.htm

    and with perhaps another 1,500 or so given away as well to boot :)

    the videos are also doing fairly well too, with now 15,035 total views producing 1,040 watched hours between them + 327 subscribers in just over
    a year...

    The WILDs & WILDing facebook group having grown to 1,465 members

    and while not quite the meteoric rise to fame had perhaps hoped for it/envisaged heh (like, who'd have thought the dildo's of lucid dreaming
    would have made such a fuss heh - the old stuck in the muds! - and when
    here's moi originally + rather naively thinkin' they'd prolly defo all be
    only too glad to have a far more reliable method to avail themselves of
    and hungrily all leap on it??)

    nope, they mostly resented it instead lol and wouldn't even check it out,
    much preferring to lament/complain about the unreliability and infrequency
    of dilds rather than trying some other/better way, some of them even
    becoming quite nasty about it too! (old school twits!) newbies to lucid dreaming actually doing far better with it overall, presumably due to
    their 'lack' of preconceptions & agendas?

    anyway, it's been a long slow climb (5 years) but 'is' still climbing?

    and given another 20 or 30 years it might even start gettin' interesting!
    lol :)))

    live long enough and might even see some of it spilling over into the mainstream public too...

    aww the little guy's growin' up?

    I finally tried your technique and it worked, like a dream! The method as
    such really IS easy and efficient. The WILD method as described is totally perfected and it works. It is quite amazing, and amazingly simple! So
    thanks a lot for the effort!

    ### - here's an example of an advanced private conversation with someone
    whose obviously beginning to make some headway with all this, not a conversation i often have with many people as most are still just trying
    to get hold of the very basics, so enjoy :)

    Dayrl wrote:
    Hey Brian... I have a few questions for you...

    You previously asked me when I bounce in and out of a dream is it the same dream or different dreams, and for me it’s usually the same dream as it is evolving so each time I’ve re-entered it, it has generally moved along
    rather than starting from the very beginning (like in the move “Groundhog Day”). Last week I did have a rare experience though of bouncing in and
    out of different dreams, so it was a new experience.

    I was just wondering if you generally bounce in and out of the same dream
    or different dreams and if you could explain the significance of that if
    there is any?

    Also, I was wondering, do you generally enter a dream first when doing
    your hypnogogia gazing, and then later enter the midway point OR have you
    been able to enter the midway point directly from the beginning?

    I have been experimenting with entering the midway point (which I call the VOID) directly, without first entering a dream. I have had a reoccurring
    issue though... sometimes when doing so I seem to still be on the bed
    (like being in 2 places at the same time, physical and VOID) and when I
    try to move I often feel stuck. I try to move and then get pulled back as
    if there is an energy holding me back. This “energy” is similar to the “energy being” that held my backside when I was in the VOID in the dream I described in the latest issue of LDE called “WILD Things”. I’m trying to work out if in the previous case where I was on the bed and it pulled me
    back (preventing me from dreaming) if it was actually sleep paralysis or actually the same “energy being” from my WILD Things dream, possibly challenging me to use my mind to move rather than mimicking physical
    movement? (I know, I know, I seem to be answering my own questions)

    Anyways, as to the second question, was just wondering if you have ever
    went directly into the midway point (before a dream) and if you ever felt “stuck” when doing so?

    And thanks in advance for taking the time to answer...

    (i replied)
    I've never been able to enter directly into the midway point, i always
    have to go into a full WILD first and then either come back to the midway
    point or bounce out back into bed and them move into the midway point... i
    have spoken to others though (all women for some reason) who can enter
    directly into the midway point directly and then operate from there
    straight away so it must then be possible only i've never been able to do
    it...

    also, have never personally encountered any beings or forces such as you describe, am always totally alone in all my journeys except when entering
    into actual dreams and then i have to ask to see people, after which the
    dream changes by my falling asleep in that dream and waking up in another
    with people in it...

    Have never felt stuck or paralysed in any way either, at the midway point
    i don't seem to have a body as such, am always just a thought/idea or just
    an awareness floating in the darkness, the option to enter into a dream appearing like a bubble containing a scene which i can enter into at will,
    many times it's a different dream to the last but occasionally it's
    exactly the same dream again and i've been into some identical dreams
    several times even spread across different sessions, they never start-over
    from the beginning though like groundhog day haha, nor are they exact continuations either, it usually seems quite random? Am back in the same
    dream and just know this to be the case and it doesn't seem to matter at
    the time...

    Best advice is thus to get yourself into the midway point and just hang
    there until everything becomes clear what's going on, and then to switch
    back and forth between all 3 positions until your 'choice' becomes the
    main factor in it, until you can see all 3 positions very clearly from the
    pov of any one of them, at which point a great feeling of confidence &
    utter detachment appears out of nowhere, a feeling that not only allows
    you to do whatever you like at will but also supplies the knowledge of
    exactly how to do it too...

    i consider anything else to be superfluous to this and/or just a
    distraction etc, the result then of not yet obtaining complete control
    over the situation via said midway point as suggested...
    hope this helps :)

    he replied:
    Thanks and yes, this is useful. I have also been coming to the conclusion
    that the midway point is very key to all this. In one lucid experience I
    had earlier this month, I not only choose when I wanted to end the
    experience (which is 50/50 for me, 50% I choose to end and 50% the
    experience ends on its own) but when I came out I had such a powerful
    inner knowing, so powerful that I could use it to try-enter the (lucid)
    dream at will with absolutely no technique. This “inner knowing” wore off though after a day and I returned to the technique of gazing at the
    hypnogogia, etc. But it is something to look forward to.

    Just to be clear, when I say I bounce in and out of dreams, what generally happens is that I am in a WILD and it bounces me out and I find myself
    back on my bed (like I’m laying down), but it’s generally a dream bed and generally dark so possibly a version of the midway point or a hybrid
    state. From there I just re-enter a dream consciously and it’s generally
    the same dream from where I left off. I’m saying this cause the way you describe your experience, it sounds like you enter a dream and then choose
    to end it and then from the midway point see another dream bubble to enter
    and then enter it.. it being a different dream or sometimes the same
    dream. If I am correct in my understanding it probably means you just have
    more conscious experience, practice and control than I do when bouncing in
    and out of dreams 😬

    One other thing, you mentioned that it’s generally woman that can enter
    the midway point straightaway.... here’s something interesting... again, earlier this month I had another experience where I had gone in and out of
    my dreams several times and then found myself on what I thought was my bed
    (but it was a dream bed)... I again felt stuck like something was holding
    onto me from the backside... I was able to twist myself around and it was
    a woman 😬... she was beautiful and smiled when I looked at her to see who she might be. I’ll leave it to your imagination as to what happened next
    😏 (but if you really want to know, yes, I tried to join with her and when doing so her face morphed into different people, some of which I know in
    my physical reality... this of course prematurely ended the experience)

    Anyways, I’ll keep on experiencing and experimenting in the midway point


    (i replied)
    I had quite a lot of sex too at the beginning haha, that is until it
    finally dawned on my that this is all just masturbation? All i could think about at first was getting into dreams and doing different things in them,
    so much so i didn't even notice there was a midway point... the discovery
    of which changed everything though + even changed the whole purpose for
    doing all this... that inner knowledge is now what i crave and seek every
    time + it seems ridiculous to seek anything else... And yes it does last
    for quite a while afterwards, noticeably so, but is also becoming more available during waking too as a kind of intuitive knowing (i.e., if you
    ponder on a problem or question for long enough you seem to eventually get
    a novel answer, almost as though that inner knowing is growing until it
    begins to overlap into waking too)

    If it ever comes right out altogether and becomes as pronounced as it is
    during and just after WILDing i'll probably have to write another book hah!

    'The WILD Way To Lucid Dreaming Part-2 - Evolution In The Making!' (haha
    :)))

    See? i was pondering all that for a few minutes and that's what came back:
    that title and what it implies! i didn't exactly figure it out it just
    came to me...

    he replied:
    Agreed.

    This inner knowing obviously has many applications to life, but initially
    I feel it can have a direct application to the WILDing process itself. Personally I’m finding that I often skip the hypnogogia/image technique of WILDing and just directly enter a dream when first looking for the
    hypnogogia. No preamble is my goal 😬 ... I had 3 WILDs last week that involved very little to no technique. I’m certain that is the next step to this...

    It would be interesting to know how your procedure has actually evolved
    over the last 16 years cause it seems you have always been teaching the
    same 3 steps of “1 relaxing, 2 gazing at hypnogogia and 3 then studying
    the details of an image to zoom you into a dream” technique.
    Have you found that your procedure for WILDing has become more streamlined
    over the years or was it always the same 3 steps?


    (i replied)
    There are alternatives, many times now there's the appearance of a full + moving scene i can just kinda stick my head into and out of and then
    bodily step right into, so those 3 steps are really just for beginners
    learning to manipulate their awareness so as to finally arrive at the
    midway point, after which people are then on their own by dint of being in
    the perfect position thereafter to figure everything out for themselves,
    those 3 basic steps being the most (or rather the least) i could reduce it
    all to out of a whole gamut of possible experiences...

    steps anyone could follow in order to get started, and have some clue
    about what they're attempting to do & why...

    he replied:
    Makes sense... many of the true revelations occur afterwards, in the
    midway point as you’ve pointed out...

    well, I will continue on developing and discovering.... maybe one day we
    could try a shared dream when I have more experience... I really feel the
    inner worlds must have some type of subjective/objective reality when
    several minds get together and focus... I would try this not so much to
    prove there is an afterlife, cause I’m not interested in convincing others
    of what is possible, but more to see how far I can take this thing on the inside... anyways, onwards and upwards 😬😬😬😎

    (i replied)
    Good stuff! Plus i have no doubt whatsoever that more information will be discovered over time, the book representing just an initial breakthrough moment, a very basic map of the ins & outs of getting there in its
    simplest most basic form which others will no doubt add to and expand upon
    over the next 100 years or so, it being unlikely to go the exact way i've suggested farther down the line...

    So then merely the opening of an otherwise closed door to an alternate
    frontier in which the sky is literally the limit...

    Oh well, back to the day job then hehe ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTL4qIIxg8A

    WILDs & WILDing group :)

    Sarah Weldon wrote today:
    I took a nap today from like 4-6pm and had a string of like 8 lucid dreams using WILD technique! My eyes were closed, so everything was black, and I
    would watch as the dreamscape formed around me...it was insane! I've never experienced anything like it! Noise would wake me up, but I'd keep my eyes closed and would fall right back to sleep into a new dream. One time I
    fell back into a continuation of the same dream and interacted with a
    different dream character.

    ***

    well that's the way to do it folks!

    and it's really as simple as that!

    some find it easier to get started than others is all (people really are
    lazy fuckers when it comers down to it heh) but everyone should eventually
    be able to do it too!

    there's a lot more beyond that as well like the Midway Point for example,
    plus all the things one can do + realise from that novel pov, but the
    above is/represents the perfect starter for 10...

    cool :)

    ### - views of the WILDing videos (and songs) just topped 31,000
    generating 2,000 watched hours between them!

    with subscribers to the channel now standing at 407!

    then there's book sales of 535 going to 22 different countries around the globe! (i gets an average of 4.50 or $6.25 royalty per sale) and with approximately 3 times that amount having been given away for free to boot!

    not to mention members in the facebook WILDs & WILDing group currently
    hovering around 1,500!

    good stuff eh? and so far all by word of mouth alone :)

    so next comes the advertising campaign, which will start fairly small with
    a budget of about 2-grand via youtube which am hoping will then snowball
    via increased sales & views, i.e., 1000 youtube subscribers and 4000 hours
    of watched videos then allowing the placement of paying adverts at the beginning of each video thus increasing my own advertising budget that way
    too!

    looks like snowball-city here we come!

    ### - in a WILD earlier this morning while standing at the midway point, i asked about how to speed-up the process of bringing our universal
    'ability' to enter into an altered state of awareness to the attention of
    the main stream public... and the next thing ya know i was looking over my
    own shoulder writing a letter to bill gates (of all people) asking for his personal sponsorship?? (wtf!)

    to this effect, have just sent him a message mentioning my work to him and inviting him to assist, either publicly or privately from behind the
    scenes...

    but will it come to anything i wonder??

    so watch this space ;)

    ### - am having this cool conversation with a dude on facebook re WILDs & WILDing...

    he's trying to be helpful :)

    Don wrote...
    I understand you mean personal exploration. I was talking about in the
    general public. Have you considered that you have an unusual ability, and
    not everyone can do it as easily?

    I remember around age 21 or 22, coming across Yogi Ramacharaka's writings
    on astral projection. I think these are from around 1910 or so. He taught
    (a) deep relaxation; (b) notice spontaneously arising hypnagogic imagery;
    (c) noticing more and more details and "intending" or "willing" yourself
    into the imagery.

    Guaranteed to work for everyone he said.

    Yet the latest scientific study, with statistics that the scientists
    believe apply to the general public, says less than 10% of the public even
    has lucid dreams of any kind more than a few times a week.

    Now, in your favor, I'll say that the collective consciousness of the
    world is changing. In meditation circles I visit in person and online,
    it's quite obvious that people are very easily experiencing states that centuries ago were supposed to take a life time of practice.

    So there's a great benefit to your "can-do" attitude (very American of
    you:>)) but I think, from having read many responses on this forum,
    although your attitude instills faith in people who are starting out, can
    be a bit frustrating for people who DO try everything you say, work hard
    at it over weeks or months, and still don't succeed.

    I'm also thinking about you making more money, if you want to look at it
    that way. You write well, you have a wonderful grasp of the technique,
    your description of what to do is wonderful - if you were able to take
    into account the people who do everything you say but still have trouble,
    and add a few extra tips for them, well, really, you should be selling 10s
    of millions of books, because this is just about the most amazing thing
    out there.

    Good luck with it - I hope you consider it because your work should be
    much more widely known.

    ***

    he's correct of course, but i quite deliberately left the book as just the bare-bones of the matter so as not to unduly influence people, much
    preferring they check out + discover everything for themselves, mainly
    because that is in fact far more enabling in the long term...

    let someone else (other explorers) fill in all the details i mean, this
    also acting as a means to correct any errors i may have made too, and coz
    i don't/can't pretend to be perfect haha :)

    the MAIN problem perforce being: that people are just sooo fucking LAZY???

    take our chris for example (am sure he wont mind heh) as a clear point in
    case: coz he's even HAD several clear WILDs but can't seem to be bothered
    to continue with it beyond a point when he should by now - having already
    been convinced they're real - be WILDing like a sob on some kinda regular
    basis and probing that great unknown out there??

    plus this is precisely what's others are doing too: they have a couple of
    good WILDs only to then have a few months off to 'think' about it???

    LOL !

    lazy-itus! and/or inertia!

    that's all it can be?

    that, or humanity is somewhat retarded? (slooow learners haha)

    ah well, give 'em another 150 years or so and they MIGHT start getting it together huh ;)

    maybe!

    you can intend all night and still nothing can happen.
    of course if one intends hard enough they will reach lucidity.
    then they don't have to fool around with seeking hypnagogia caca.

    ### - it's not about 'intending' lucidity, it's about deliberately + incrementally reaching a state of awareness via 3 clear + easy to reach
    stages where they appear and then using them to surf into a dream...

    i.e., this 'revolution' in being able to lucid dream is something
    practical and totally pragmatic, not some nebulous bollocks about
    intending that no one can even describe let along practice...

    fact is, you already 'know' how to do this but can't be bothered to follow
    up on what you've learned?

    plus this is the same problem others are having too: they wont make the
    effort required even when they know exactly what to do!

    e.g., remember your experience in the hot tub that time? it was
    effortless! plus no 'intending' was ever involved!

    ditto your experience while laying in bed whereby you then reported:

    "Yes, last night i hit the jackpot. I was about to totally give up late
    this morning. And then i saw something. I watched and watched. My eyes
    were spinning around like a slot machine. I'm watching this go about and i can't believe my eyes. I'm wide awake with my eyes closed and i finally
    have some activity showing up. Then the whole room turned to a color like ground up chocolate chip ice cream. That's about the best way i could
    describe it. The whole field was a solid color of this consistency. Went
    on for a good spell before the dream ended. Ok, now i'm getting my money's worth out of doing this. And yes i woke up this morning with a fantastic feeling. Much like how one feels after a series of lucid dreams. Nice,
    real nice. This is definitely a different dream show than a dild."

    see what i mean?

    i.e., deliberately getting to see the hypnagogia and using them to surf
    into a dream does away with ALL that other useless crap, there's nada
    mystical about it!

    you know how it works but obviously can't be bothered so you keep making mindless excuses?

    no one can twist your arm, only you can make the effort but refuse to do
    so.

    it's your loss then...

    amazing man! It does seem so simple and i must practice this every night.
    Ive sorta known about this but you made it seem so easy and beautiful at
    the same time.

    WILDing, only now they seem to have cracked it wide open, very cool :)

    Hey brian

    I'm had a different kind of entry into wild now, i was looking for
    hypnagogia, suddently i was in a non lucid dream, then i shortly realize
    that it is a dream, so instead of carrying it out as a DILD, i decide to
    open my eyes into a WILD, so opened my eyes and i was in my room,where my
    most WILDing begins...and i continue this as a WILD

    Also AFTER this first WILD is over i didnt move, i looked for second entry
    into WILDing and within some minutes i am again complety in a WILD

    Thus i had 2 WILDS in row

    Maybe i think the first non lucid dream will be a intense hypnaogogia
    which formed in to dream scape.

    In my WILD, i smelled my wooden shelf to note how it smells...it's exaclty
    like how it smells in real life....soo realistic


    (i replied...)
    Well done! The first one was sooo smooth you didn't quite realise what was happening was all, the second one, however, was fully initiated by you!
    (very cool)

    And THAT my friend is how really simple it is to WILD! :)

    Next time you'll be better prepared to act more quickly as you've
    obviously already learned quite a lot...

    i.e., You see the hypnagogia, examine them in the right way and Wooof!
    You're straight into a lucid dreaming situation! Just like that!

    Just a little more experience and you'll be fully in-charge of the whole thing... which, when you examine it, is nothing less that a learned
    control over yourself...

    It's sooo simple it's actually ridiculous?

    I can see/imagine everyone turning to WILDs eventually because of this ;)

    good stuff eh? another newbie passes 'GO' and collects his dream bucks

    ### - am sure this private FB message is just a troll??

    but then ya never know! ahaha :)))


    Hey Brian. Chris [not our mr chips] just sent me yesterday your YouTube Channel, I saw the first six videos and it was

    A LIFE CHANGING MOMENT for me.

    While watching the videos I immediately understood the logic and learnt
    what you taught. The videos are so well made and with so much love. While watching it felt like I was already lucid dreaming. I am now a hypnotist
    since 25 years, but hearing from Hypnagogia the first time. All you said sounded absolutely logical and natural to me. Afterwards I knew it has to
    work without even trying. I remembered that there were moments already in
    my life where I saw Hypnagogia but took them aside.

    Afterwards I lay down on the left side and concentrated on Hypnagogia.
    What I experienced was overwhelming and life changing. I was not
    completely lucid dreaming but I was very close in the first night. That
    was absolutely crazy.

    I really could feel how the dream pulled me in and it was like in an anaesthesia. When you feel that it comes over you,

    WOW

    I was completely overwhelmed how stable this process works cause I tested
    it a lot in the first night.

    Because I was not completely lucid it felt not like in a DILD. But I know
    now that it will work better and better. Because as you said you
    immediately know that it is true because you are dreaming and sleeping
    already a long time.

    I don’t know what to say

    THANK YOU SO MUCH
    for sharing your knowledge, for putting the work and the love and passion
    in those videos.

    I am a mentalist/hypnotist (part-time official, but full-time with my
    heart). Whenever you need an online mentalism show, I ll be happy to help
    you out.

    Thank you!

    ### - so this dude, only a few days later, has now bumped into the 'Midway Point' as well!

    this is how he describes it:


    Muhammed sent Yesterday at 05:52
    Hey brian, you won't believe what im about to tell you now.

    I literally WILDed more than 15 times yesterday and today

    Also at a point i could feel something from my body is going beyond my
    body, my awareness and i could sense even beyond my body...

    Also i happened to notice some times i exist in just pure darkness, no
    dream,no body, just pure darkness. But from that point if i wanted i could sense my body or i could enter a WILD

    Now i dont even need to conciously go through all the stages to enter WILD
    . I just lie down with the intention of going WILD and i naturally enters
    into it without any effort from my part

    ***

    i.e., this guy has really made the grade now and there'll be just no
    stopping him from this point on as he's obviously finally realised just
    exactly HOW he's doing it!

    very cool, he did everything right and as such has been a star student,
    plus is a clear lesson/example to all you more indolent schmucks out there
    who can be hardly even bothered to help themselves heh ;)


    like... here's a message to the hard of hearing?

    DreamArchivist
    Great Information on WILD
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021
    Verified Purchase

    Having read several books on lucid dreaming and dream-related material, I
    found this book very straightforward on proposing the advantages of
    utilizing the WILD technique. Aherne does a great job of not passing
    himself off as an all encompassing Dream expert or researcher while
    pulling from quality sources, such as Stephen Laberge and getting to the
    point that he’s making. Aherne provides some introductory information on sleep, dreaming, and lucid dreaming while focusing on providing the WILD technique in as simple a package as possible with great effectiveness.
    Great contribution to lucid dreaming material and happy to have picked it
    up!

    ### - damn, now am in 'real' trouble lol :)))

    i.e. have just been invited to do some kinda 'video-interview' for some dreaming site with robert waggoner re the WILDs method have written about
    and also about WILDing in general?

    have been assured, by him, that it'll all be done very professionally and edited accordingly to make it look professional etc etc, but damn i don't really wanna do it even though it would likely be good publicity for the
    book and for the method itself??

    i.e., as a very 'private' person there are currently no photos or images
    of me whatsoever in circulation, nada at all, not even on my facebook
    page, the website, back of the book cover or anywhere coz that's what am comfortable with, plus the method have written isn't about 'me' and only
    about the discovery itself, it being quite a large + conscious sacrifice
    on my part (coz i didn't wanna do it) to even having my real name
    associated with it and publicly bandied about, something that has indeed
    been difficult (because the world is full of assholes) but which i
    considered an inevitable price to be paid for going public with it...

    i mean, by all means buy the book and/or watch the videos and learn how to
    do it no problem, but leave 'me' out of it? coz am just the humble
    reporter here, someone who literally 'fell-over' WILDS and not part of
    some kinda 'personality' show (or cult heh) that the world typically tends
    to turn everything into?? fuck that!

    so i don't think am gonna do it? i guess if it was maybe for some big tv morning breakfast show or whatever (oprah lol) along those lines, i might
    have considered the 'cost' involved (to my private life) as being maybe
    worth it to bring it all to some kinda vastly new public audience (going mainstream with it would constitute a huge leap perhaps requiring the
    ultimate sacrifice) whereas this particular interview would more than
    likely only be shared amongst the current lucid dreaming community
    itself...

    which would still be good publicity... but which also makes me sweat at
    just the very idea of my ugly mug being plastered all over the place haha
    :)))

    i mean, i WANT people to know about WILDs because i honestly think it'd be
    good for 'em AND for the world too or i wouldn't have even bothered doin'
    it, but at what cost to myself???

    so, am sorry folks, but it's gots to be only written and, at best, radio interviews, ok? even though it bums me a bit to perhaps miss-out on some
    free publicity for the technique...

    it's only the work itself that's of any actual importance here, it's not
    about me and/or who i personally am??

    that said, and only for the record: i might then just leave some video interview to be discovered posthumously haha ;)

    There's something not quite right about your reluctance to be
    photographed. Didn't you send a photo to some woman in ADC a few
    decades ago and she did something with it which upset you? I remember
    you complaining about it a year or so ago, it must have hurt.

    Clearly, you don't have some sort of terrible skin affliction or
    defect or somesuch otherwise you wouldn't have sent her the photo. So
    it isn't that.

    Your book is not that important in the scheme of things, you're NOT
    Bansky, no one has heard of you apart from a few followers on FB and
    the like. So, your excuses along those lines don't resonate.

    It's something else. Do you have a criminal record for something
    disgusting? Is that it? You said you would have been "burned at the
    stake" - what the hell does that mean?

    I don't get it. Waggoner has written books and is an esteemed author
    on the subject of lucid dreaming and this is a once in a lifetime
    chance for you.

    If you turn it down, you will lose followers and he will probably not
    remain quiet about it.

    Your choice of course :)

    i mean, by all means buy the book and/or watch the videos and learn how to

    Maybe, if you take the plunge, you could make enough money
    for a first rate camera and mike. Get some backdrops and do videos.
    At least you get to meet the guy and have a chat about techniques.
    Much as you misunderstand me, I wouldn't leave you buried alive.

    The horses are all lined up to perfection on the track at grand old Churchill Downs
    The riders sit patiently waiting for the report of the starting gun but no one here's a sound
    You know sometimes when I think about this line I hear a voice chuckling inside my head
    It sounds like crotchety old Bob Dylan muttering sophistry-“just be grateful you ain't dead”
    Renewing my resolution to tame a phrase and catching my breath while taking pause
    I gradually get my wits back about me remembering pulling myself from the great lions jaws
    While the clowns rolled about guffawing and snorting-roaring their tumultuous approval
    At my swiftly skilled grasping of a bloody thorn and adroit forcing of the splinters removal
    Looking up above me at a hole in the circus tent I catch the glimpse of a trace of a smile
    Lennon's glowing phantom shadow watches the circus cars lined up and running for miles
    Now I'm back on the phone every single moment to every midget and dwarf I barely know
    A burst of static from an overseas operator said there's been a death in subway sixty four
    Could you try your call a little later-mocking penned up fury I'm slamming down the phone
    Reflecting an absent minded moment on history and its pantheon of comedies and gore
    Wondering where I'll ever get enough money or the miners to dig me a new tunnel home
    Hoping they won,t strike some long forgotten world as their great machine boroughs the bore
    Sworn to the retribution of your whims and fancies and whatever you include in your prayers
    You know that its true that I didn't start my screaming-until you decided to cut off my hair
    There's a little thing in the alley I believe I may have forgotten in my haste to tell you about
    It's a big old mighty swamp toothed lion for whom I once pulled the-nastiest little thorn out
    Well I'll see you on those stacked up sorrows, I'll see you on those stacked up shames
    Well I'll be seeing you again tomorrow because you know it's part of the impresario game
    Call me and my freedom whatever you like at the moment but freedoms is always the bet
    If you like what you see and think that its cool then believe me you ain't seen nothing yet
    Miss Liberties calling she was so upset she promptly went out to get a brand new address
    Melissa had been stalling endlessly blaming her boyfriend whose now known as the pest
    Uncle Lucky is biding his time with the ladies looking quite dapper and happy rolling his dice

    ### - he wrote 2 or 3 books on lucid dreaming (standard dilds version
    exactly like all the ones 60 other people have written on the subject too)
    but after long conversations with moi (including that written interview)
    has recently shifted his fixed pov to now include WILDs (i wonder why heh,
    not - WILDs 'are' indeed the future of lucid dreaming! any fool can see
    that)

    Robert's alright but very ordinary, and doesn't realise am a virtual
    recluse not seeking personal fame like he's done for himself, his
    intentions are good (albeit entirely self-centered), however, so am gonna
    have to let him down gently somehow...

    promote the method and even the book yes, WILDs are gonna become news at
    some point... but don't promote moi personally, it's not about me... i
    wont be making any videos of myself.

    I am working with Awake Academy on a lucid dreaming course. Part of the >course will feature a section on using lucid dreams and the WILD approach.

    The folks at Awake Academy wonder if you would be willing to do a Zoom
    video with me, where you discuss the WILD lucid dream technique? They
    would edit the video to make it look professional.

    Would you have an interest in telling your story?

    methinks then it would be far better to create my own online course and >upload it to this site for them to promote heh, this site presumably
    taking a percentage on any income generated via it...

    so how's about i create my 'own' comprehensive online course and charge
    say only $10 for it lol...

    and thus undercut ALL those fuckers (like charlie morley) charging over
    $100 for 'em???

    they'd prolly all hate me haha :)))

    First, ask him by email what he intends to do with the content you
    contribute, whether you have final editorial rights over it, and if he
    intends to monetise it, what will be your percentage?

    There is less honour in business than there is in war. Everyone is
    trying to make a crust, make ends meet. This guy too, undoubtedly.

    When you have a response, kick it over here and I'll give you some
    advice. I'm thinking a contract will do the trick and I have many,
    many templates from times past...

    ### - damn, now am in 'real' trouble lol :)))

    i.e. have just been invited to do some kinda 'video-interview' for some
    dreaming site with robert waggoner re the WILDs method have written
    about
    and also about WILDing in general?

    have been assured, by him, that it'll all be done very professionally
    and
    edited accordingly to make it look professional etc etc, but damn i
    don't
    really wanna do it even though it would likely be good publicity for the
    book and for the method itself??

    i.e., as a very 'private' person there are currently no photos or images
    of me whatsoever in circulation, nada at all, not even on my facebook
    page, the website, back of the book cover or anywhere coz that's what am
    comfortable with, plus the method have written isn't about 'me' and only
    about the discovery itself, it being quite a large + conscious sacrifice
    on my part (coz i didn't wanna do it) to even having my real name
    associated with it and publicly bandied about, something that has indeed
    been difficult (because the world is full of assholes) but which i
    considered an inevitable price to be paid for going public with it...

    i mean, by all means buy the book and/or watch the videos and learn how
    to
    do it no problem, but leave 'me' out of it? coz am just the humble
    reporter here, someone who literally 'fell-over' WILDS and not part of
    some kinda 'personality' show (or cult heh) that the world typically
    tends
    to turn everything into?? fuck that!

    so i don't think am gonna do it? i guess if it was maybe for some big tv
    morning breakfast show or whatever (oprah lol) along those lines, i
    might
    have considered the 'cost' involved (to my private life) as being maybe
    worth it to bring it all to some kinda vastly new public audience (going
    mainstream with it would constitute a huge leap perhaps requiring the
    ultimate sacrifice) whereas this particular interview would more than
    likely only be shared amongst the current lucid dreaming community
    itself...

    which would still be good publicity... but which also makes me sweat at
    just the very idea of my ugly mug being plastered all over the place
    haha
    :)))

    i mean, i WANT people to know about WILDs because i honestly think it'd
    be
    good for 'em AND for the world too or i wouldn't have even bothered
    doin'
    it, but at what cost to myself???

    so, am sorry folks, but it's gots to be only written and, at best, radio
    interviews, ok? even though it bums me a bit to perhaps miss-out on some
    free publicity for the technique...

    it's only the work itself that's of any actual importance here, it's not
    about me and/or who i personally am??

    that said, and only for the record: i might then just leave some video
    interview to be discovered posthumously haha ;)


    Maybe, if you take the plunge, you could make enough money
    for a first rate camera and mike. Get some backdrops and do videos.
    At least you get to meet the guy and have a chat about techniques.
    Much as you misunderstand me, I wouldn't leave you buried alive.
    I might slap you silly, the moment your free, but that's beside the
    point.
    A sad day. https://citizenfreepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/afghan-flight-3.jpg

    ### - haven't been reading your stuff of late and only checked this out wondering what kinda shit you 'might' be whispering in thang's ear to wind
    him up, but am glad now i read it... i.e., it was because you made similar (clearly friendly) over-tones like this last year, that i decided to give
    us a chance to clear the air between us regarding all that nasty crap of
    20 years ago... had you accepted that at the time (i wasn't even seeking
    an apology) we'd have then likely moved-on from any bad feelings and maybe
    even have become simpatico amigos... unfortunately, you instead took it as
    an attack and an affront and went totally on the defensive, and came out swinging?

    your quote of "War!" (from the movie 'dangerous liaisons' heh) not being
    at all lost on me at the time, the outcome in that movie not being exactly
    in your favour considering she was completely destroyed in the end? (he
    may have lost the war by dint of tiring of it, he threw himself away, but created the inevitable circumstances of her downfall too in the process:
    taking her down with him)

    had you instead, for example, just said: oh forget about all that crap, it
    was 20 years ago, it was all bs and no longer relevant etc etc, that would
    have literally been the end of it afaic and it would have never been
    mentioned again, the whole point of it being a small test of your
    sincerity and your ability to forgive & forget and move-on...

    things not quite going that way though huh :)

    and so now here we are again in a very similar position: you making
    seemingly friendly overtones and me wondering how sincere you really are
    about it? the first time around you didn't really wanna remember what had
    gone down previously or why, so i graphically jogged your memory (because
    am able to do that and not because i was being mean) but which you reacted
    to very badly indeed (maybe outta guilt/alarm, i dunno, but that's what i suspected...) and as such you took it all completely the wrong way no
    matter 'what' i then said to the contrary to reassure you... you went
    entirely on the offence and nada could seemingly change your mind...

    so what happens now?

    20 years ago i was the one being attacked and ganged-up on remember, i was
    not at all the aggressor... yes i was having an exchange with ee and she
    was becoming increasingly shitty (a common enough/typical reaction when
    people are shown to be perhaps less than 100% correct in something) mainly because she was a very proud person and didn't like to be challenged even
    IF she happened to be in the wrong?

    RBB, who was already annoyed with me about something else entirely (my partnering with her tech friend robert to build an easycam.com database
    for live cams, someone who then tried to rip us off and keep it all for himself, who even stole the name i'd registered and been paying for all
    along before i'd even met him, and sold it lol) in a rather sly effort to
    get even with me put ee up to publishing what she thought was a photo of
    myself that i'd shared with rbb in private via a series of email exchanges about hers, and my, art work; a whole bunch of photoshop graphics & stuff
    we'd both created for various reasons over the years, potential book
    covers etc...

    rbb actually did all the stirring for reasons entirely her own and, in
    truth, 'used' ee to try harm me, but if everyone had just minded their own business it wouldn't have happened and am pretty sure ee & i would have eventually settled our tiny differences without much further ado or fuss
    (it was about fuck-all anyway and i was actually only teasing her with her proud reluctance to expand her pov and come straight about some of the
    things we were discussing, she wasn't being honest and i was demanding honesty...)

    like... they went just a bit too far ya know? and don't say they didn't
    know what they were doing because rrb mentioned wondering why i'd waited
    so long (3 days) to even say anything about it

    next thing, and regardless of the truth of the whole situation (iow: my
    total innocence in the whole affair) everyone's putting the proverbial
    boot in lol (5 or 6 different people from here anyway, yourself included)
    and that's when i had to dance like never before, shit storms comin' at me
    from all directions haha, and i was prolly just about going down for the
    3rd time from exhaustion lol when vinny stepped in with his 'peace candle'
    and the whole damn thing halted?? (well done vinny the miracle worker, at
    least 'someone' here had a good sense of justice? i remembered him for
    that anyway and wished him well from my inner silence, the fucker even
    went on to write a book of his own heh, cool...)

    so what say you 'this' time then eh?

    or are you still also a very proud person too?

    more about it...

    https://www.awakeacademy.org/?v=79cba1185463

    i.e., robert waggoner himself is apparently in-process of creating some
    online course that's he'll be no doubt charging some exorbitant prices for (looks like on average $150 per course on here) i wouldn't receive any royalties from it though...

    so i asked him for a few more details of what's involved and he's just
    replied:

    Hi Brian,

    I am working with Awake Academy on a lucid dreaming course. Part of the
    course will feature a section on using lucid dreams and the WILD approach.

    The folks at Awake Academy wonder if you would be willing to do a Zoom
    video with me, where you discuss the WILD lucid dream technique? They
    would edit the video to make it look professional.

    Would you have an interest in telling your story?

    ***

    iow: it looks like he's perhaps only really seeking my personal expertise
    and original material to just help promote 'his' new online courses??

    methinks then it would be far better to create my own online course and
    upload it to this site for them to promote heh, this site presumably
    taking a percentage on any income generated via it...

    so how's about i create my 'own' comprehensive online course and charge
    say only $10 for it lol...

    and thus undercut ALL those fuckers (like charlie morley) charging over
    $100 for 'em???

    they'd prolly all hate me haha :)))

    First, ask him by email what he intends to do with the content you contribute, whether you have final editorial rights over it, and if he intends to monetise it, what will be your percentage?

    There is less honour in business than there is in war. Everyone is
    trying to make a crust, make ends meet. This guy too, undoubtedly.

    When you have a response, kick it over here and I'll give you some
    advice. I'm thinking a contract will do the trick and I have many,
    many templates from times past...

    ### - ah that's prolly very good advise but am not even gonna do it at all thang... to my mind all the current big-wigs of lucid dreaming (the
    current kings of it) are finally coming around to realising that WILDs are gonna be a thing and are adapting their formats accordingly in order to
    hedge their bets... charley morley, for example, was already offering
    stuff about WILDs but only all the vague old-school techniques that no one liked involving sleep paralysis and other completely unnecessary shit
    that's ultimately given WILDs a bad rep as being somehow too difficult for beginners etc, and this with a heavy emphasis on the wake back to bed
    method to-boot, all now made totally redundant by the advent of WILDing
    via hypnagogia alone on demand (so how cool is that heh, plus have
    obviously made a small dent in the community over the last 5 years then
    heh)

    robert waggoner having now provided me with the perfect excuse to let him
    down gently, i.e., can say am currently involved in creating my own online courses, quite possibly using the videos have already created (thus
    without my ugly mug appearing in them either hah, perfect!)

    to this effect, have thus just spent a couple of hours researching some post-production video companies who can professionally compile a standard
    dvd from the videos have already made (they're all 720p dvd quality so
    this shouldn't be a problem) each single video being a chapter on the dvd
    + with several bonus videos to-boot...

    why? because not everyone who might be interested goes to youtube &
    facebook or knows to look for them there, so in dvd format would likely
    sell some copies via amazon and other places including my own site & ebay
    for example... can make a package of it to maybe even include some text
    files have personally written on the subject + maybe even include a copy
    of the ebook too, why not...

    it apparently costs about 3 per copy to produce an actual dvd including
    the plastic box and paper cover inserts etc etc once have designed and
    printed them up, so could easily sell for 9.99, cheaper if taken as a
    download from my site (there's no production costs whatsoever for
    downloads after the original file has been produced)

    and then, once that's all been put together, could even then upload it (as
    an online course) on that same academy website and let them promote it for
    a commission as well hah, lol wont robert & Co be surprised! :)))

    totally undercutting their otherwise huge charges, of course lol :D

    they wanna charge $150 for their old dildo-courses? i'll only charge 9.99
    for the full package including a copy of the book as well LOL ! (beat that)

    coz i tell ya, they've all been ripping people off on a grand scale until
    now and am gonna put an end to all that hah! (will defo enjoy doin' that
    hehe)

    and b'coz am telling ya: WILDs are dope maan, and it ain't gonna cost
    people fuck all compared to how they's been being milked until now heh, am gonna make sure of that...

    ok move over peeps, WILDs are coming through! WILDs are comin' through!

    it's time to storm the citadel haha ;)

    (the audio-book format is also due out in a couple of months as well,
    cool) :)

    Look I don't care what subject matter the video will be, in principle,
    it would be a good idea to keep correspondence with him and not reveal
    your intentions until:

    1. You have some indication from Waggoner of *his* intentions;
    and

    2. You have sufficient data from your own investigations
    (monetising your ideas) to compare with (1) above.

    That's called a plan. I call it generic common sense.

    And, Slider, you will SELL much more and REACH a wider audience if you
    put a head to the talking bits, whatever medium those bits be - video, photographic, book cover, whatever.

    As I said, you're not Banksy - there isn't a mystique about you - yet.

    I'm open for advice. At the sweet spot in one of my careers, late
    last century, my hourly billing rate was well over $400AUD.
    Cognitively, there is no decline except for slower recall of memories.
    Unlike our "Iran war" debacle, I won't bill you lol

    Of course, the spanner in the works here could be that Waggoner is
    reading the posts here. In that case, (1) and (2) above are fucked.

    Hi Brian,

    I am working with Awake Academy on a lucid dreaming course. Part of
    the
    course will feature a section on using lucid dreams and the WILD
    approach.

    The folks at Awake Academy wonder if you would be willing to do a Zoom >>>> video with me, where you discuss the WILD lucid dream technique?
    They
    would edit the video to make it look professional.

    Would you have an interest in telling your story?

    ***

    iow: it looks like he's perhaps only really seeking my personal
    expertise
    and original material to just help promote 'his' new online courses??

    methinks then it would be far better to create my own online course
    and
    upload it to this site for them to promote heh, this site presumably
    taking a percentage on any income generated via it...

    so how's about i create my 'own' comprehensive online course and
    charge
    say only $10 for it lol...

    and thus undercut ALL those fuckers (like charlie morley) charging
    over
    $100 for 'em???

    they'd prolly all hate me haha :)))

    First, ask him by email what he intends to do with the content you
    contribute, whether you have final editorial rights over it, and if he
    intends to monetise it, what will be your percentage?

    There is less honour in business than there is in war. Everyone is
    trying to make a crust, make ends meet. This guy too, undoubtedly.

    When you have a response, kick it over here and I'll give you some
    advice. I'm thinking a contract will do the trick and I have many,
    many templates from times past...

    ### - ah that's prolly very good advise but am not even gonna do it at
    all
    thang... to my mind all the current big-wigs of lucid dreaming (the
    current kings of it) are finally coming around to realising that WILDs
    are
    gonna be a thing and are adapting their formats accordingly in order to
    hedge their bets... charley morley, for example, was already offering
    stuff about WILDs but only all the vague old-school techniques that no
    one
    liked involving sleep paralysis and other completely unnecessary shit
    that's ultimately given WILDs a bad rep as being somehow too difficult
    for
    beginners etc, and this with a heavy emphasis on the wake back to bed
    method to-boot, all now made totally redundant by the advent of WILDing
    via hypnagogia alone on demand (so how cool is that heh, plus have
    obviously made a small dent in the community over the last 5 years then
    heh)

    robert waggoner having now provided me with the perfect excuse to let
    him
    down gently, i.e., can say am currently involved in creating my own
    online
    courses, quite possibly using the videos have already created (thus
    without my ugly mug appearing in them either hah, perfect!)

    to this effect, have thus just spent a couple of hours researching some
    post-production video companies who can professionally compile a
    standard
    dvd from the videos have already made (they're all 720p dvd quality so
    this shouldn't be a problem) each single video being a chapter on the
    dvd
    + with several bonus videos to-boot...

    why? because not everyone who might be interested goes to youtube &
    facebook or knows to look for them there, so in dvd format would likely
    sell some copies via amazon and other places including my own site &
    ebay
    for example... can make a package of it to maybe even include some text
    files have personally written on the subject + maybe even include a copy
    of the ebook too, why not...

    it apparently costs about 3 per copy to produce an actual dvd including
    the plastic box and paper cover inserts etc etc once have designed and
    printed them up, so could easily sell for 9.99, cheaper if taken as a
    download from my site (there's no production costs whatsoever for
    downloads after the original file has been produced)

    and then, once that's all been put together, could even then upload it
    (as
    an online course) on that same academy website and let them promote it
    for
    a commission as well hah, lol wont robert & Co be surprised! :)))

    totally undercutting their otherwise huge charges, of course lol :D

    they wanna charge $150 for their old dildo-courses? i'll only charge
    9.99
    for the full package including a copy of the book as well LOL ! (beat
    that)

    coz i tell ya, they've all been ripping people off on a grand scale
    until
    now and am gonna put an end to all that hah! (will defo enjoy doin' that
    hehe)

    and b'coz am telling ya: WILDs are dope maan, and it ain't gonna cost
    people fuck all compared to how they's been being milked until now heh,
    am
    gonna make sure of that...

    ok move over peeps, WILDs are coming through! WILDs are comin' through!

    it's time to storm the citadel haha ;)

    (the audio-book format is also due out in a couple of months as well,
    cool) :)


    Look I don't care what subject matter the video will be, in principle,
    it would be a good idea to keep correspondence with him and not reveal
    your intentions until:

    1. You have some indication from Waggoner of *his* intentions;
    and

    2. You have sufficient data from your own investigations
    (monetising your ideas) to compare with (1) above.

    That's called a plan. I call it generic common sense.

    reading the posts here. In that case, (1) and (2) above are fucked.

    ### - it's never been my way to do things conventionally and have more or
    less lived my whole life to date in such manner, so methinks that wont now
    be getting changed any time soon heh...

    and, as chris astutely observed one time: have actually gone to
    considerable lengths to 'avoid' creating a cult outta all this, rather the opposite actually in that, if anything, it clearly fosters intense individuality... and so deliberately avoiding it inadvertently being
    turned into some kinda 'personality' cult along the way (as the world in
    its madness is habitually wont to do) was, and still is, a clear part of
    all this... it's gots nada whatsoever to do with moi deliberately creating
    some kinda mystique (iow: it doesn't matter 'whose' damn finger is
    pointing at the moon: look at the 'moon' dammit and not the finger doing
    the pointing, simples...)

    iow: it doesn't matter one iota (even to 280 trillion decimal places heh)
    'who' i am or wtf i look like, NONE of that's got ANYTHING whatsoever to
    do with people's INNATE ability to WILD! and THAT'S what am quite
    deliberately + clearly emphasising :)

    that if, for example, they ever (smile) erect a statue to old slider some
    day (an idea that laughingly harks back to a fortune cookie) it will have
    to be by necessity a statue with a blank face, or a generic one then that represent everyone on the planet, and not the image of just some lucky
    fucker who just so happened to stumble over the importance of WILDs while
    he was actually trying to accomplish something else heh...

    i do like him, but if Robert (and/or others) ever want to promote WILDs
    too for whatever purposes (usually money/personal gain etc) then let THEM learn how to do it 'themselves' and then write about THEIR discoveries, particularly if it should confirm/debunk my already documented results,
    coz afaic we're totally done with cults on this planet, the disastrous age
    of cults is over and it's time for everyone to stand the fuck up on their
    OWN 2 legs and walk dammit, or even crawl if'n ya have to coz that's still better-er than nada, see?

    i.e., figuratively speaking: the 'dawning' of the 'age of Aquarius' has
    passed, this is now Aquarius itself and things are gonna start being quite different, humanity's universal ability to WILD being only a starter for
    10 in that direction. ;)

    (a statue with a blank face? where did that come from haha, but yeah i
    likes that idea heh...)

    here's a quick screen shot of it anyway...

    i mean, this is literally just a crude test of how the program works and
    of how exactly to use/apply it to actually create a working dvd main menu etc... but am actually rather impressed with this initial test result...

    i.e., ya inserts yer' dvd and, after a short promo-intro plays (which have
    yet to create) this first main screen is what ya'd then gets to after it
    loads:

    https://www.thewildway.com/files/test-menu.htm

    can add more buttons/links/menus plus change and/or rearrange the text to almost any degree etc etc, but whatcha think?

    this would be followed by sub-menus for individual chapters and the 4 or 5 bonus videos (and anything else such as a copy of the book itself for
    example) as well...

    any good, or it's shit and i should just keep goin' haha :)))

    Do you have any adherents to your wacky theories living in London? Why
    not invite them over for a nice cuppa tea? You live in a nice central position, why not?

    Still waiting for your take on my last post, about your "+160 IQ" - I
    assume you're twisting in the wind trying to counter the now-evident
    fact that it's very, very probable that your entire life construct on
    this site (and probably elsewhere in RL as well) is fiction and lies -
    apart from the little chapbook you penned.

    Tell me how you progressed descriptively from your mother and father's
    lives being "less than a hill of beans" to being a "cult deprogrammer"
    and touring artistes and hypnotists, all within the space of two years
    here on ADC.

    This post will most likely be as disturbing as it is shocking. I have
    been asked to obtain a modicum of tact for this disturbing as it is
    shocking message I must relay.

    I must put aside my tempered emotional state in order to relay truth.

    The entire paradigm at Stanford is about to change.

    Learning is about to change.

    Disturbing because what I am going to tell you to read is what you may
    consider a disruptive technology if it were in fact a technology at all...

    You are all somewhat aware of Stephen La Berge and his work, however, you
    are unaware of his failures at your institution albeit more on track than
    any other human around.

    You see, Dream Induced Lucid Dreaming is NOT IT.

    Waking Induced Lucid Dreaming allows one to load the equivalent of a 4
    year degree from MIT in two weeks time.

    You see, we do not delve in anything other than facts.

    The fact remains no matter how disturbing you find this post, reading The
    WILD Way by Brian Aherne will allow all human beings to accelerate the
    rate at which they learn on a scale of which until now has remained
    unrealized.

    ***

    ### - smile, i met this intelligent-enough young dude about 4 or 5 years
    ago after first posting the wild way on facebook, and in that time he's completely switched over to WILDing as his method of choice when it comes
    to lucid dreaming, subsequently becoming rather proficient... (the same
    guy in that video-review, that he made completely off his own back btw
    such was his passion, and that i borrowed from to make adverts out of
    etc...)

    and now here he is informing stanford U of a potential paradigm shift in
    the 'way' we learn??

    afaic, he still speaks & thinks in fairly naive + even emotionally-charged terms when it comes to some of the implications & ramifications of being
    'able' to WILD... the point here, however, is that he's not wrong, and has reached that 'practical' level of it where he's now making mental models
    based upon some OF those implications/ramifications based on things he's realised himself!

    it's taken him 4 or 5 years to work his way through to 'realising' all
    those chapters one by one and is obviously just about getting to the (philosophical) end of it, and, as such, is one of the first to do so ;)

    he also used to be a bit of a hothead, talking almost exclusively in terms
    of astral planes and chakras/energy-points + a whole bunch of other very mystical gobbledygook heh, but all this has apparently sobered him up
    somewhat by apparently providing some kind of perhaps clear-er albeit
    visionary direction in life...

    and imho that can only be a good thing...

    so am pleased :)

    ### - here's a recent newbie in the WILDs & WILDing group, a more typical
    case, whose been trying for a little while and posting his daily
    progress... and he's just really getting to it now with this latest post
    of his re a pretty cool experience last night, and coz just another couple
    of sessions along these lines and he'll surely hit the jackpot big-time:
    he's found/discovered the exact right spot! :)

    Marc Aurel in WILDS & WILDing:
    This night I had a clear dream and in this dream I still trained to WILD.
    Then I woke up to normal awareness and started to train to see the
    Hypnagogia. Cause there’s was a big storm with flashes/thunders outside, everytime I d fall asleep there was the next thunder who brought me back focusing again on Hypnagogia.

    It was a really cool experience, I also sometimes felt to be pulled in but
    not completely. So in my time feeling I watched and experiences Hypnagogia
    with also some clear pictures for about two hours. So this was besides the
    very first experience one of the closest to WILD.

    It is such a wonderful experience!!!!!!

    ***

    ohhh he's gettin' very close now alright hehe... he's yet to learn to
    exercise his will in the matter (which 'is' the deciding factor after all
    heh) but that will come quite naturally via trial & error alone, the very
    thing he's actively exploring...

    cool :)

    ### - posted this article in the WILDs & WILDing facebook group (now with
    1,649 members) back in Feb regarding membership in this lucid dreaming
    support group, something which, imho, speaks for itself :)


    How This group Typically Functions.

    BRIAN AHERNESUNDAY, 21 FEBRUARY 2021

    Looking back over the last 4 years or so, certain trends are emerging
    whereby newbies typically hang around for a while absorbing the technique before then putting it into practice, the successful ones amongst them
    then leaving or wandering away from the group to go on to, presumably,
    even greater things albeit entirely on their own...

    In fact, i even have an idea that WILDing actually increases one's overall sense of independence thus obviating any further need for being in a
    support group altogether.

    It not being everyone's cup of tea to teach or to hang around in a group
    of similar minds, many then moving on to pastures new on their own, all
    thought of support left well and truly behind, something which actually
    makes perfect sense to me in many ways. So then, what we tend to see here
    is a high turnover of newbies, with perhaps only one or 3 (myself
    included) hardcore-types remaining behind to perhaps help others get
    started too, and/or to maybe discuss/debate future developments and any philosophical-type connotations amongst similarly inquiring minds...

    So then, i would ask those who manage to WILD to try and teach at least
    one other person somewhere along the line, either here in this group where newbies abound, or even out there in the world wherever they happen to go,
    this then obviating/freeing them from any further responsibility, so to
    speak, and thus also maybe as a gesture of thanks for any help they've
    perhaps personally received.

    An old mentor friend of mine once said/suggested to me that: "Each one
    teach one!" being what what anyone should do with something they may have learned that's of any value, and this still makes perfect sense to me...

    In which case: good luck to you all you newbies here; you're shorter or
    longer stay here has hopefully been fun and i hope you've enjoyed
    yourselves and learned plenty that will stand you all in good stead no
    matter where you go or what you do next after mastering this incredible
    ability of ours to WILD. :)

    With the best of heart-felt luck to you + happy WILDing to all...

    I'm surprised you stoop to their level Brian.

    ### - posted this article in the WILDs & WILDing facebook group (now
    with
    1,649 members) back in Feb regarding membership in this lucid dreaming
    support group, something which, imho, speaks for itself :)


    How This group Typically Functions.

    BRIAN AHERNESUNDAY, 21 FEBRUARY 2021

    Looking back over the last 4 years or so, certain trends are emerging
    whereby newbies typically hang around for a while absorbing the
    technique
    before then putting it into practice, the successful ones amongst them
    then leaving or wandering away from the group to go on to, presumably,
    even greater things albeit entirely on their own...

    In fact, i even have an idea that WILDing actually increases one's
    overall
    sense of independence thus obviating any further need for being in a
    support group altogether.

    It not being everyone's cup of tea to teach or to hang around in a group
    of similar minds, many then moving on to pastures new on their own, all
    thought of support left well and truly behind, something which actually
    makes perfect sense to me in many ways. So then, what we tend to see
    here
    is a high turnover of newbies, with perhaps only one or 3 (myself
    included) hardcore-types remaining behind to perhaps help others get
    started too, and/or to maybe discuss/debate future developments and any
    philosophical-type connotations amongst similarly inquiring minds...

    So then, i would ask those who manage to WILD to try and teach at least
    one other person somewhere along the line, either here in this group
    where
    newbies abound, or even out there in the world wherever they happen to
    go,
    this then obviating/freeing them from any further responsibility, so to
    speak, and thus also maybe as a gesture of thanks for any help they've
    perhaps personally received.

    An old mentor friend of mine once said/suggested to me that: "Each one
    teach one!" being what what anyone should do with something they may
    have
    learned that's of any value, and this still makes perfect sense to me...

    In which case: good luck to you all you newbies here; you're shorter or
    longer stay here has hopefully been fun and i hope you've enjoyed
    yourselves and learned plenty that will stand you all in good stead no
    matter where you go or what you do next after mastering this incredible
    ability of ours to WILD. :)

    ### - it's a support group (now with 1,649 members from all over the
    planet) for people particularly wanting to learn to WILD, many of whom
    have bought my book/seen my videos...

    i.e., am merely the first to help people learn to swim in this particular manner...

    plus imho, wont be the last to do so either ;)

    ### - it's difficult to imagine that the videos were made 2 years ago this month and that the book itself was published 7 years ago this coming
    march? (doesn't time just fly heh)

    anyway, in all that time progress has been slow but steady enough,
    continual small sales being made now without any more need for spamming/advertising, although the numbers do indeed rise whenever i post
    any articles + links to facebook etc... 6 to 15 sales per month being
    fairly average, 60% of them to ebooks...

    this being a comment made today on the youtube vids after someone
    apparently watched them all:

    StrandedDecay Commented On The WILDs Vs. DILD Video: 25th Nov 2021
    "What a rare sight, an actual somewhat decent Lucid dreaming guide.
    Enjoyed watching it."

    ***

    the videos having now collectively had some 46,821 views between them +
    522 subscribers, the facebook WILDs & WILDing group having amassed 1.7k
    members in total, as well as WILDs (as a new practice) having become far
    more generally popular and a matter of common discussion across a variety
    of dreaming groups, the largest of which sports 45,000 members!

    and well, it's certainly taken a good while, but it's possible WILDs are
    now just about ready to take-off in their own right, as more and more
    people are beginning to genuinely look upon them as being a preferable +
    far more reliable technique overall...

    good eh? :)
