      6) There comes a point where you suddenly feel very light. You want the opposite to happen. At this point, you want to induce heaviness. Once you do, you should enter SP almost instantly (at least, that's what happens to me).
      your answer
      To help yourself induce the feeling of heaviness, imagine sand bags (or other heavy objects) are being tied to your joints. This should make it easier to induce the heaviness and speed up the process.
      I never knew about this I will give this a shot for a week. are there any more ways to induce heaviness? at this point should you move your concentration from breathing now to the legs?

      There are probably lots of ways to induce heaviness. Try to come up with your own, you'd probably find it easier with your own preferences. Here are some ideas:
      • Imagine that you are so heavy that you start sinking into your bed. Visualize the sheets stretching.
      • Imagine you are on a much bigger planet with a lot more gravity.
      • Imagine yourself falling.
      I've actually changed my process a bit. I don't need to induce heaviness or anything anymore. I guess it just gets easier after a few successes. I just enter SP quite easily and with little effort. Then I enter the dream.

      However, I still sometimes have trouble with concentration. My mind is easily influenced by movies, books, etc. And sometimes I just can't take my mind off them. So I'm still a newbie in that aspect .

      Please, continue to post your experiences! We can all learn from each other.

      I haven't been in the mood for WILDing lately, but last night I tried a little bit, but just fell asleep. I'll try again though over the next few days actively, and see if it'll work.

      I was able to WILD twice the other night. It's getting much easier to enter the dream. The only problem I have is staying concentrated some nights. It depends on what I did during the day.

      Gonna try this tonight, I don't think sleeping on my stomach is safe but I'm going try it out (seeing how it feels to try and sleep on my stomach).

      Even if the attempt was unsuccessful, post it here, along with what you did prior. I can analyze it and maybe even someone else can help out aswell.

      I'm ending my two-week LD'ing break tonight, and will be back in full force.

      Continue posting results and such!

I did start to dream about something, but quickly woke up, and within seconds of waking up again, I started the technique over, and this time, after a minute or 2, thinking about my last dream, I felt myself literally fall between my bed and the wall. I started to crawl out, laid on my bed for a second and then got up, and started to walk downstairs....

      The problem? I wasn't lucid. I WILDed myself right into a non-lucid dream. So I woke up after that. After about 2 hours of trying, I fell asleep again, woke up after around 15 minutes, and tried again. Within seconds I felt the vibrations, kept them going for 20 seconds or so, and could see a bright white light, taking up my entire vision, but the vibrations stopped. I did a Reality Check, but I hadn't made it into the dream

      So in Conclusion:

      1 Successful WILD into Non-Lucid Dream
      1 Almost Successfull WILD


      But, it is an improvement over the last few nights.
      That's how it's like for me. I never seem to get past SP aware. I just fade off into a non-lucid dream. I do really believe that two lucid dreams were due to trying to stay aware, though. Like it made it easier to become aware. But, I never entered a dream lucid.

      I don't think you should move your eyes while trying to do this. It won't be easy not to if you have them open.

      I actually don't induce heaviness anymore. The vibrations start almost without warning. But, what I used to do to induce heaviness was simply imagine myself sinking or falling into my bed. Try imagining heavy objects are being tied to your major joints (knees, ankles, elbows, etc). If inducing heaviness just doesn't work, try forgetting about your body and just concentrate on whatever's on your mind.

      When you are ready to lay back down in bed, try doing some mental tasks. Maybe do some Math problems, or try remembering your previous day. What I do is imagine myself singing some of my favourite songs.

      Sorry for the lack of replies, I actually took a three-week break from LD'ing. Now I'm back. Just need to get my recall back up.

      If you haven't tried it already, you might want to try doing some imaginary tactile exercises after reaching vibrations. Basically, once the vibrations have come you can imagine that you have a dream body and imagine using this dream body to do something. It can be something simple like walking or something more complicated. I have on more than one occasion typed or walked my way into a lucid dream. By using my tactile imagination I am making energy and making the dream. The more I make, the more I receive.

      Is there any WILD tips for starting the Hypnogogic Imagery after you get to SP?

      By doing WBTB a person has rested enough to stay awake, but is still tired enough to go to sleep. If a person tries to WILD when going to bed at night, they are often to tired and just fall asleep. If they try to WILD for an afternoon nap, then they are too awake. This is just generally speaking of course.

However for myself, I haven't seen a WILD tech yet where you didn't actually have to wake after ??. This kind of dissapoints me, but none the less I respect your method. So don't get me wrong when I wrote this, good work mate.

      If a person is very tired, it is very likely that they will just go to sleep. It is important when WILDing to be tired enough to sleep but awake enough to stay awake. This might sound funny but a lucid dream is by definition being awake while sleeping.

      I was able to WILD again last night. I didn't even try that hard, I would have fallen asleep unconsciously if SP hadn't come so quick.

      Any more results from you guys?

      My second Helpful Tipe explains one technique that helps. I think the best thing for you is create your own way of inducing heaviness.

      How I would describe now, however, is the feeling of general movement. When I'm about to enter SP, I feel like I suddenly fly straight up, then back down. Then the movements are random after that. I don't have to put any effort into entering SP, it just happens.

      I've just been trying to do a WILD and i did feel weightless at some point!!
      I was wondering why it wasn't working and i got bored and gave up

      Next time i'm gonna try imagining being heavy when that comes

      I think i was concentrating too hard too, after reading the other guides i was trying my hardest to block out any thoughts other than counted and it really didnt help.

      I was facing straight up too which isn't how i normally sleep so i'm gonna try sleeping on my side


      I' m a little disappointed but after reading everyones posts i doubt anyone got it first time
      guess i'll try again tomorrow
