A way to become lucid.

[King and God]

Sorry if there already is a topic/guide about this, but if there is, I haven't seen it. I simply stayed alert while trying to fall asleep, instead of relaxing. It worked, and I went through the stages of NREM-sleep while being aware of it. I waited to enter the REM-sleep, and finally it came, and I was lucid. I did this two times this night, and became lucid both, as a result.

That's interesting. I've been practicing WILD the past week. I'm still staying too conscious while my body falls asleep. I think I was close to Lucidity last night. I looked down and put my hand on my dream knee and it felt just like it feels in RL. Then it faded to black again. I suppose that counts as a half LD I'm going to continue practicing WBTB with WILD every night since I never have to wake up early in the morning.
