   ### - 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 AHERNE·SUNDAY, 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...
