Okay, so I've been trying to WILD for a while now, and getting into SP is pretty easy now. But I have a problem, I just can't seem to slip into a lucid dream. Lemme elaborate. Last night (technically this morning), I get into SP and everything is going good. I stay calm and don't let my mind wander off nor do I think too hard. I guess you could say I could stay in SP as long as I want. So there were two points where I thought I was in a dream (well I guess one and a half). the first time I remember hearing a metal gate opening over and over, so I kinda freaked and thought I had to open my dream body's eyes to fight someone, but I just didn't know if it was a dream or if it was just SP noises (although it was probably was SP). Anyways, I couldn't open them so I concluded it was SP. Now before I go into my second time, I just wanna say that whenever I'm falling asleep, I'll get random thoughts in my head (like a toy train, etc), and I'll see it, but not much more than I'd "see" any other thought in waking life, so I guess it counts as HI? Continuing, I was laying there in SP when outta nowhere, I got the image (though like I said, it was so very faint), of me making out with some chick. I think it could've been the beginning of a dream, because it was pleasurable, but still it was very faint so it could've been a random thought as well. But anyways, I just seem to have a problem where I can't slip into an LD. It feels like I'm in SP fooooreeever, because I'm just waiting for a dream to come to me. So after a long time, I just give up because nothing happens. So is there anything I could be doing wrong? Will I always feel myself slip into a dream? How long do I usually have to wait before a LD hits me? Any techniques I can do while I'm in SP to say, induce a dream?
Ha, thanks for taking the time to read all of this.
