I do read the threads, but some personal approach is needed, i think. We're all different.

Anyway, i did try LD a couple of years ago, and even got one or two, but then...well, things happen, and i didnt have the mind for it.

Now i want to try again - and cant !
I started to search around and found all those neat abbreviations existing. Anyway, MILD doesnt seem to work for me now as easy as it did in the past. So i concentrated on staying aware during transition, a WILD, basically.

Now. I kinda hit the wall. I lay down on my back, relax my body to the point of it getting numb and "sleep twitches" starting to appear. Then i create an impenetrable wall around myself in my mind, and slowly expand it to push off all those spontaneous and unnessesary thoughts till my mind is blank. That takes a couple of minutes. Then i get a distinct feeling that my body is somewhat asleep already. I shift my "mind's focus" around my body, concentrating to my breathing and feelings in my limbs (for some reason i am sure i can strongly feel the blood pulse and circulate through my upper arms, but nowhere else, it feels like i can differentiate every arterie and blood vessel there).

Then i get very distinct feeling that my physical body is floating in emptyness, but somehow i can "see" the room around myself. I also get the feeling that my physical body is somewhat big for my mind, like my mind was human-sized, but my body is skyscraper-sized.

Then it all quickly dives into total blackness (i am still aware). After a few moments in that blackness i realise that my mind have returned to its usual, daytime operation. I cant relax another time no matter how i try. The spontaneous thoughts return. I start thinking about objects like apples or candles, they jump around my "mind viewfield", get in my "eyes" and generally be annoying. However at the same time my consciousness becomes more and more fuzzy, i can hardly understand what i am thinking and what i am supposed to do. I sit, open my eyes, make a few reality checks...then i just lay on my side and in mere seconds get thrown in an ordinary dream.

Please, if its not too hard for you people, comment my experiences.
