My difficulty arises in that I reach a certain point in my WILD experience that I cannot seem to pass. Scenario is as such....I find that I can reach a point where my body is paralyzed and I am certainly conscious while in a sleep like mode. However, I never get to a point of any kind of visualization or "dreaming" in the traditional sense...just the feeling that I am in an altered state of awareness...not necessary a LD but on the right path. It is at this point that I consistantly begin to fixate on my own parylasis which inevitably brings be back to a waking state. I feel so close to the lucid experience I have felt while becoming aware I was dreaming hours after falling asleep.

Does anyone else encounter this? Please give me your opinions and steps you have taken to overcome this...possibly my definations of WILD and LD are off, but I feel like I am simply not progressing far enough along the WILD path.


Thanks
