Yeah that SP trick sounds good! I'll give it a try too.
I have yet to hit real SP, (And to get a real LD
for that matter) but I've been kinda "watching"
myself as I doze off in the wonderful mornings of
Christmas break, and I think I'm learning to recognize
the onset of SP. The HI and sounds get more real,
I sorta 'sink' into the HI and at the same time feel
a tad heavy and tingly. Trouble is I think I focus on
it too much, and since I really want to get into SP
(it sounds cool) I get excited when i'm close.

When you go into SP, do you feel heavy while
still seeing/hearing the HI? Whenever I feel
close it fades.

P.S. Is there a reason why it seems there are many people
on this forum from the Netherlands?
