Here's what I have gotten up to so far:

1) Go to bed at midnight... lay flat on my back, don't move, breathe deeply
2) After about 20 minutes I start losing track of time and I find my mind wandering to other places and thinking about "stories" or "situations" that might resemble dreams
3) I get muscle twitches that jolt my body....
4) I start feeling a warm sensation come over me....

Then I get excited and keep repeating steps 2 - 4... where I go back and lose track of time and then get muscle twitches and then the warm sensations again. This can repeat for over an hour before I finally pass out and wake up in the morning.

I feel that the muscle twitches and warm sensations are very close to where I want to be but I can't seem to get past them. Does this have anything to do with going to sleep at night and trying this? I don't have time for a WILD because of work so I am trying to lucid dream through DILD methods. Entering SP right as I go to bed would be ideal.

Just trying to pick some brains.
