It took me a year of trying to figure it out. Its not easy, but it is well worth it. Good luck!

Conquer I commonly run into that problem, the best way around it is to try to find something that works for you.

Many people try to visualize, and focus on the hypnagogic imagery, But i find i dont get anywhere.. try using a difference sense, or a combination. Tactile sensations are a great way for me personally, it doesnt ALWAYS work, but i get much farther..

Instead of trying to see images floating around, or trying to imagine a world to "roll" into.. Just visualize yourself walking around somewhere familiar for you, basement, backyard, even in your car or something.. Instead of trying to picture your surroundings, start off just trying to feel your way around the room with your hands (Obviously mentally) A good way to practice is to simply walk around your backyard in real life for example, touch the grass, the wood, the cement, the bark on trees, siding on house, anything and everything you can think of, the more the better.)

Feel for texture, resistance, solidity, is it damp/wet? Is it sharp, smooth? etc.. I find by doing this in an area I am very familiar with, where I wont need to really visualize what stuff looks like, because I know the layout of my backyard very well . By using my touch senses I can pick up on very very very minute details, things I would never remember from vision alone, and from there my mind just paints the image, I cant explain it, It just happens...

This is because I am very comfortable with that sense, and it just seems to work for me.. Other people have such rapid results with visualization, I personally dont so I had to think of something else. Eventually try to pick up multiple senses at once, smell the roses in your garden, listen to the birds, feel the wind, even taste a piece of grass if your having trouble after the other 4 Smell and taste tend to lead to very vivid memory of something, thats it it takes sometimes, just need to get through the door once sp kicks

The point is not to over distract yourself with TRYING to slip into a dream, find an easy way where you can relax, but keep your mind active at the same time.

Man I had this same problem. I used to monitor my body while trying to WILD, but that would always prevent me from falling asleep.

What worked for me is to just relax and say to myself, "I'm going to have a lucid dream." After that I repeat to myself "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming..." I've gone into dreams with full lucidity that way. The WILD I had today started off with a false awakening. My dad came into my room and said, "You're dreaming." I thanked him and had a blast.

ya i had that too. i would feel numbness come all over my body. my mind would be calm and relaxed while visualizing but for some reason my heart rate sky rockets. this of course keeps my body from falling sleep.

Try imagining the movement of your dream body, visualisation or tactile sensations.

Have you tried "rolling" out of your body?

When I experience SP, I lay there, and like psycho- student said, I imagine the movement of my dream body. I usually roll out of my body, or sit up.
