Thread: Hypnagogic Imagery - what next?

Hello!

I've made the decision to focus on getting to grips with the WILD technique and have been practising during naps and early hours of the morning.
So far I am able to get to the stage where I am suddenly pulled into a dream scene and then pulled out again - I find myself inside small fragments of dream scenes which each last only a few seconds.

It is at this point that I usually fall asleep, or become too aware by trying to extend the dream scene through visualisation. What do I need to do now in order to move from the dream fragment stage to a full lucid dream and to keep myself from falling asleep (unconsciously)?
