I do not encourage detailed fantasizing or letting your mind wander. It either keeps you awake or makes it easy to not realize you have lost awareness. I recommend something boring and repeating. Take repeating "dreaming I am dreaming, dreaming, I am dreaming, dreaming, I am dreaming". It is not interesting enough to keep your mind over stimulated, but you will know you are loosing awareness when you realize you have stopped repeating it.

If you can barely detect your body and are now experiencing dream like stuff (you are asleep) then you can quit your anchor and move into visualization such as the rope climbing (also useful as an anchor, but can reveal when a dream begins).
The reason I did it after 4 hours is because I naturally woke up after 4 hours, it's usually around 4-6 hours and I always seem to wake up without an alarm. It's like, if I have to go somewhere in the morning, my body automatically wakes up prepared. It's kind of odd.

My only problem now is my eyes twitching like crazy. I think I have gotten pretty far in WILD, whenever I start to feel my body vibrate, transition stage starts to happen - I see these circles and shapes starting to form. Soon as I get to that stage, always, my eyes start to flutter up and down - until they open by themselves and stay open, which obviously stops me from going further. I'm pretty sure this only happens when I'm aware that I'm transitioning, so it's like my body knows what I'm doing and keeps preventing me.

Reverse blinking didn't help, unless I have to do it for 15+ minutes which would probably hurt my eyes. It doesn't even matter how heavy my eyes are...I made a blindfold & it didn't seem to help. Can you WILD with your eyes open? This happens every time, at first I thought it was natural, like I'm beginning to go into my dream body, but only now I realized it's probably what was my downfall all along. If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
