I've been trying to WILD for some time now. I've attained it several times, but don't remember HOW I attained it. Mostly, it just happens. I close my eyes, then I'm dreaming. Anyway, 95% of the time when I try dreaming like this, nothing happens. I've tried all the techniques, then some, nothing works. One of the problems is my state of mind may be wrong. What exactly should the state of mind be? And does rate of thinking alter anything?

Dream recall I have no major problems with, same goes for control, staying in a dream(although changing dream enviroments shot me out of it last time, next time i'm going t try spinning). I'd like to have more clarity of thought in dreams. Mostly, though, I want to get in the dream in the first place, and before I go to sleep since alarms tend not to wake me up.
