Wild, Eyes open..? Or closed?

[SpanishFlea]

I've read around about WILDs, but out of the information I read I never retained this simple information... Should my eyes be open or closed durring an attempt. Because if Im letting my body fall asleep, I figure my eyes should be open. And if they're closed while Im trying to let my body fall asleep, Im assuming that Ill just fall asleep. Any help is appreciated

Eyes closed.

Closed. The trick is to keep your conscious mind awake while natural processes make the rest of your body fall asleep. When we go to normal sleep, we just let our mind wander naturally and this is what induces unconsciousness. For WILD, you just concentrate on one thing and make sure you don't lose consciousness... you leave everything else happen normally. The point is to remain conscious so you'll go right into a dream while always being aware of the situation, thus knowing it is a dream right away.
