Coffee induced LD



I got up in the early hours and had a cup of coffee and it worked a treat for a WILD.  I was up for about about 30 minutes after drinking the coffee and then back to bed.  The HI imagery was very strong and very alive in the way the images were acting and reacting and I felt quite calm and relaxed which surprised me. The transition during the WILD was very smooth and I went from LD to awake and back 3 times with ease. I was really impressed with how well it worked and will try it again. I had also had 4 or 5 cups during the day and the last one about 10 hours before CWILD

Well, the coffee might have had a *TINY* hand in it.
But what you did was a WBTB technique.  You woke up, stayed up for a bit doing something not too stimulating, then went back to bed.

That's a recipe for projection.

Actually caffeine helps keep the mind sharp and focussed. Its why a lot of sports drinks have it in.  But it can also make the body restless so dont have too much if your trying the WBTB techniques.

Been away from this forum for a bit so late reply.  You are both right and I wonder if the coffee helps much or if is a placebo effect that builds expectation and that is the key
