So, I've been been practicing with a couple different techniques for dreaming. The one that gives me the most trouble is the WILD. I've tried the WILD at least 6 times over the past 2 months and it seems I cannot get over this little hump.

I usually go to bed and wake up about 4 hours later. I get up for about 2 minutes and return back to bed. I lie down on my back and start initiating the 61-point relaxation technique. I go through all the points, taking me about a total of 10 minutes and finally I am in a physical state of tranquility. Its really a beautiful state to be in. All the joints in my body seem heavy and very relaxed.

For about 20 more minutes I do a couple of different techniques: I tell myself (over and over again) that I will enter the Dream world and declare that for a while. Then I passively stare into the light patterns that form in my eyes. After that I picture myself in a dream state and that helps me center on my goal more.


So then something kicks in. I've been told is SP but im not 100% sure it is. It seems my heart seems to race a little. I seem to start twitching and I can feel my eyes feeling more pressure while the rapidly move around my closed eyes. My muscles seem to feel as if they are being tensed and relaxed repeatedly. [I could try to explain more but I dont think my words can really pinpoint the direct expirence.]

But then the feeling fades and I'm back to where i started. I'm very relaxed but I still know that I'm laying in bed. I have heard that when you are in SP: you are supposed to be witness to a dream scape forming in your closed eyelids. I don't see that. Just random light patterns.

It seems I can never transcend into a dream state consciously. Is there anything I am doing wrong? Any Mindsets i can try? Any feeling I am supposed to be feeling? Am i feeling something close to SP? I would really appreciate some feedback here. It's kind of frustrating to the point where I don't want to try WILD'ing anymore.

Any suggestions?
