And I when i lay there for a long amount of time [an hour or so.] I feel that I have missed my window and I just lay on my side and go back to sleep. It seems that I can only actually enter "sleep" when my mind starts to wander.

And to the response above, I do feel an intense weight on my body while I'm in this state. It seems like my blanket has "3 folded it's own weight." It just seems that the hump is impossible to get over.

Also, I don't remember hearing sounds. But maybe ill try tonight and see what I can feel and hear. Maybe listening to instrumental music would help? I'm really not sure.


But for now I have to maintain doing Reality Checks and initiating a Lucid dream inside a regular dream. I've been doing this technique thats a version of a WILD but not at all at the same time:

I wake up after 6 hours of sleep. Stay awake for an hour, eating breakfast, reading the newspaper, checking my email, ect. Then I reflect in my dream journal for a while and then try to go back to sleep. Its like a WILD yet I induce the dream from inside, so its consider a DILD. No SP, no conscience initiation. But the thing is, when I wake, its easier to remember that I just feel asleep and that it is a dream. Its very unusual. Has anyone tried this before?
My WILD attempts are exactly the same as yours; relaxing state, adrenalin rush, feeling like falling or travel by speed of light but after that... only color patterns or just darkness and pressure on my eyes.

First all that freak´d me up(when i first try´d it) but now i getting use to it(or that what i though) Until last night.

I have been practising this method for a few time now (every time i try to sleep or even try to take a nap) But last nigt there was those sounds!
After some time when i was entered the SP state (or what i think of)I heard soud familiar like white noise... (if you have seen movie The Ring then you know what i mean ) And that scared crap out of me... i just had to wake up and check my tv so it was unplugged...(scary shit, if you excuse me)

Well after all that i went into my regular sleeping state and no LD:s
woke up and wrote my DJ and check´d my mail´s and wrote here so now ill try go back to sleep and catch some more boogy monsers

But all the same, i cant enter that dream state either.. even i have done exactly all the things that i have learn´d from here...I guess its all just long practise...

Sorry for rubling an bumbling didnt help OP either but only shared my Feelings and experience
