I call it a tragedy, but you may laugh.

This summer I read a reddit post and decided I was ready. Did WILD. Directly. Without WBTB.

I failed for hours, for entire nights, day after day (4+ days?). I tried at keeping it up, and somehow never ever realized that something probably was up…

This happened: Yesterday I awoke, it was midnight. I read a book for 10-20 minutes. When I returned, I tested WILD to see if it would do.

Instantly, in minutes, I was in a dream and very aware. So that’s the missing piece! You know, doing actual research? Anyways. It worked. A tunnel rushed to me. I did arithmetics for grounding.

By arrogant, futile, and soul-suckingly-extensive WILD attempts, I made it second nature, and had an LD at my first WBTB…

…and screwed up that too. (see)
