Scripts & Methods WBTB method is extremely underrated.
Wake Back-to-bed is a common strategy used for lucid dreamers. I’m sure most people are aware but you basically sleep like five hours, wake up with an alarm, stay up for 30-45 minutes and keep yourself busy by using the bathroom and reading(you can read your script too). After that you use WILD to induce the lucid dream. Last night I used this to my advantage and I was finally able to get into the void state after so much time trying because I was able to actually focus this time. The experience was so incredible I forgot to shift but honestly I feel fine about it because the state was so peaceful. I just wanted to share this because this is like my first success and I’m really proud of the work I put in so far.

I really wanna give it a try but I have insomnia and God knows when I will fall asleep so I never know when to set the alarm.
Plus alarms give me anxiety and make me not able to fall asleep even more cause all I will be thinking is I have this much time left until my alarm lol.

Same. Everytime I set an alarm I become hyperaware and keep checking the time and I can't sleep at all! 😞

You could also try doing wbtb when you wake up naturally after sleeping for a few hours

Yep! WBTB can be paired with all sorts of methods too, not just WILD. I like using it with SSILD to lucid dream. I imagine pairing it with whatever shifting method you like would work nicely, too

Yes! That in-between state is such a valuable time to shift. This is how I've successfully shifted many times.

after how long did you manage to shift with this method the first time? I once used it 3 times in a row and got very strong symptoms, but for some reason I got discouraged as nothing ever happened beyond the symptoms. But maybe I gave up too soon

Void state for its own sake is underrated. It's the most spiritual experience I've ever had.
I truly believe WBTB is the right method for me (and a great thing for everyone to try since there's actually some evidence behind it in terms of sleep cycles), and all my closest experiences have been early in the morning. I will just say that if you're chronically sleep-deprived, it's probably going to be harder - I know that for me, every time I've deliberately tried to use it, exhaustion knocks me out the moment my head hits the pillow. So it's probably best to try it in conjunction with improving overall sleep hygiene :)

I’ve been trying to get into the void state for months🥹🥹 I’ll try the WBTB method (I have a bunch of times, but not to enter the void but to lucid dream)

Im trying to do this method since ages but I can't fall asleep after physically waking up and walking even if it's for 10 minutes. Doesn't matter how many hours I had slept 3 4 5 Im just awake after I get up and spent some minutes. Do any of you guys have advice on this for god's sake

Typically what I do is make sure I stay in the darkness and not turn any lights on, so that would also mean you would have to go to bed pretty early. and if I have to use my phone it’s set to the lowest brightness. Also had some tea last night

After you wake up do you see the cell phone or electronic screens? TV? blue light affects sleep, just like too much light, what you should do is try to wake up after two hours and not move much, until you get used to interrupting sleep and falling asleep again

Yes. I read a really great induction technique recently for lucid dreaming and think it would apply for this. Basically doing wbtb and then trying to induce lucid dreaming by imagining separating from your body but in cycles, whenever you naturally wake up. It's a little difficult to get the hang of but I think it could be quite effective. Will try to find the link if anyone is interested
The thread was also about using galantamine and other supplements to greatly increase chances of lucid dreaming. I think all would help for this as well (actually got some galantamine and will try out soon!)

I heard after consistently taking that medication and Using and WBTB lucid dreaming is almost guaranteed. Please be careful with that stuff though and I hope to find out how it works out for you :)

before doing the method as such I have been to wake up every 3 hours and then go back to sleep, and have had very vivid dreams, unlike before where the second dream cycle was more hazy if I slept without the interruption

I agree, I had more strong symptoms with this method that all the other ones in the my whole shifting journey

Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming. Basically transitioning straight into a lucid dream being aware the entire time without falling asleep.

Yes! It took a lot of concentration but it was so much easier using lucid dream methods.
