i have gotten close to wild 2-3 times, i even had HI/HS each time. i KNOW i am close. i even have woken up in SP before, so i know what it feels like and everything. as for the problem that some people are having, yes you are TOO consious.

i get the same thing, get to a point and it stops totally. ya have to loose some awareness to get farther. the times when i have almost succeeded, it got VERY freaky with the sounds.
