   ### - another little update on the reviews-front with this latest feedback   
   left on youtube yesterday by another new user, this now only one such   
   report among many similar ones of people achieving a full WILD on their   
   very FIRST attempt! (that's so cool)   
      
   this only going to show/prove just how easy (and natural) it really IS to   
   WILD, which is clearly a completely natural in-built ability in all of us,   
   only we've collectively somehow managed to reduce it's whole usage (which   
   is far more than just that of lucid dreaming alone) to that of just   
   falling asleep, thus very effectively cutting ourselves OFF from any/all   
   contact with anything except our daily waking reality! this raising the   
   question of: has it always been like this, or did we ALL used to know all   
   about it and that knowledge gradually became lost over time?   
      
   which is a very difficult question to resolve, the australian aborigines   
   have been using it quite openly for the last 50 or 60,000 years or more,   
   so in that context it looks like we somehow lost that knowledge then huh;   
   our lot went and gots ourselves... civilised!   
      
   here's what she said in her report anyway + just gotta love her   
   straightforward sense of wonderment and surprise innit :)   
      
   graveyardprincess commented:   
   "i usually wake up around 4-5 to take my dog out to pee, it was taking   
   awhile for me to go back to sleep so i thought, why not use this method to   
   fall asleep. i tried my best to stare at the middle and images appeared.   
   they went from being pretty small, undefined then one pretty big image   
   that was slightly more detailed than the others took up most of my vision,   
   it looked like a green and black microphone laying on a grey table.. then   
   i felt a strong 'zooming' motion. i then found myself in a realistic   
   dream, as in i had some of my senses (hearing, sight and touch) i was in a   
   car being driven around the street of a cyberpunk futuristic city then i   
   went into one of the shops. it was pretty cool, im still shocked that it   
   was that easy?"   
      
   ***   
      
   ### - which IS indeed actually pretty cool...   
      
   the facts being: that provided one hits the right spot you'll be pulled   
   into a WILD every single time, and newbies sometimes hit that spot   
   completely accidentally and off they go! it maybe seeming like a miracle   
   or whatever (at least to them) but is probably just pot-luck in that some   
   peeps is bound to hit the right spot accidentally occasionally because   
   it's really not THAT difficult to do! some initially get hung-up on not   
   seeing any images or whatever and this delays them, but they all get there   
   in the end anyway...   
      
   or perhaps (and this is a more recent idea) it's actually something that   
   indicates talent? a natural talent towards it that makes them like fish   
   taking to the water kinda thing... finding it easy and being good at it -   
   right from the off - maybe denoting a particular natural talent for it, it   
   could well be that! and/or even a combination of both!   
      
   the WILDs reviews page on my site now having a total of 92 very positive +   
   similar reports & reviews including the above, and which also includes its   
   silver 5-star 'Readers Favorite' award (tada!)
