slight problems with wild

Hi, sorta new, anyway, when I wake up to get into a lucid, I can't seem to get any hypnagogic imagery, or sleep paralysis, I breathe through my mouth due to allergy problems, so I thought my conscious breathing caused it, but if I don't breathe through my mouth, I end up sneezing. Also I'm not sure if this counts as HI, but when my eyes are closed I see a large black dot getting smaller and smaller. I go to bed around ten, fall asleep at eleven and wake at four.Is there any part I can improve, or is WILD just out of reach till summer?

Have you tried doing WILD when you go to bed, normal time? For me that works, I absolutely CAN'T get any HI during a WBTB.

Or, you could try waking up at three instead.

Also, is your heart beating quickly when you wake up at that time? If it was, you were in the middle of REM, and if you wake up in the middle of it that might help with HI.

Hope that helps.

Last night I set my alarm for three and everything and I woke, I got on my back and tried the process. I don't think my heart was beating quickly. I hadn't thought about WILDing without the waking in the night. Thanks for the advice :)

Thanks Abstract Fire!! I tried to LD when I went to bed and I actually underwent sleep paralysis. I didn't know where to go from there until I checked earlier today. I owe you big time :D
