I find that there are two stages you have to go through to enter a LD from SP.
First, you need to make sure your body is fully asleep. This is where imaginig yourself moving works well. Force yourself to bounce up and down on the bed while remaining paralyzed, or force your body to slide around on the mattress. This should heighten the sense of SP and get you fully asleep/paralyzed. You need to move without moving your body.
Second, you need to separate from your body, or enter the dream without fighting the paralysis. If you are paralyzed and not hallucinating, you can try rolling your dream body out of your paralyzed sleeping body, or visualize yourself standing up and running around. If you are already having a hallucination, use the scene given to you to enter the dream. Without breaking the hallucination, try to make it more vivid or tactile, and you should snap into the dream.
Here's what I did last night:
I am meditating after WBTB, and I start to feel SP. To keep from losing it, I imagine the sensation of rising and falling, bouncing up and down on my mattress while still paralyzed. As I'm doing this, I notice a figure standing in the doorway to my bedroom. It looks like the silouette of a huge oversized troll. It's so gigantic, It starts to disorient me as to how close or far away it is. I know it can not possibly fit in my living room. It sort of looks like my Father if he was all huge and bubbly and hunched like a troll. It reaches a huge troll hand into the room in a threatening way. I decide to use it's hand as a way to enter the dream. I reach up and take it's hand before it can strangle me, imagining that it is reaching in to pull me out of my body. It is very soft, like a lady's hand. As soon as I touch it, I find myself standing in a ballroom in a tuxedo, with a fancily dressed woman holding my hand as if we are about to dance.
