Hi Ouja,

Anyway, I'm still having loads of trouble getting from SP into a dream. I can't imagine scenes. I try visualising objects spinning, I try visualising tactile scenes like riding a bike. I try more counting. I just feel I'm making no more progress, and just spending longer and longer in SP.
It may be that you're keeping your mind awake with all your visualizing. The entrance to a WILD is very narrow - too much conscious activity and you'll remain awake, too little and you'll fall asleep. It's sort of like driving a manual transmission and keeping that balance between the clutch and the gas when going up a hill.
