I have had good success with MILD in the past. More than what my sig says; but I only record memorable efforts. But recently I've been failing...

I do a wbtb
stay up for 45-50mins
Go back to bed and I repeat this
*I picture A Dream* "I will remember to check reality" *picture doing an RC* "I am dreaming"

but this is where I'm confused. To fall asleep is to lose focus. If you didnt; it would be a WILD. So to MILD you have to let go of your train of thought...and I struggle to 'let go' AND remember to RC

I was just wondering if anyone has anything effective that they do in a MILD; that isnt so thought intensive? i.e how do YOU mild?

because the way I do it takes hard focus to not stray off-track....which means i dont get back to sleep for ages...and I do not RC anyway

ie. internal dialogue? or JUST visualizations or anything really...open to suggestions

also: i read one tutorial for WBTBs...that just said get up...think about LDing and go back to bed. I found this a bit too simple; anyone use this though?


Thanks heaps
