Also, i've never ever experienced sleep paralysis, no matter how hard I try.

Then no, your body does not go directly into REM when you first go to sleep. In fact REM sleep is the 5th stage of sleep you enter.

As for SP, how long are you trying for? What is your technique?

Well how can I get hypnagogic imagery immediately, once lying down for the first time going to sleep?

And I was trying Jeff777's tutorial.

Seeing HI and entering REM sleep are two totally different things. HI are just thoughts from your brain being turned into visual images or auditory sounds. When you are dreaming, your brain is sending out totally different brain waves, and you are acually dreaming like its the real world.

Anyone can get HI when first going to sleep. You can even enter SP. You just won't go into REM sleep directly, thus, you won't WILD. You would end up sitting there in SP waiting for the dreams to come which is why some people who have done WILD when going to bed report trying for at least an hour before finally entering a very short lucid dream because REM stages are very short during the beginning of your sleep. This is why WBTB are very successful for WILD because your brain is ready for a long REM sleep cycle, plus having already been to sleep, get to REM much faster then when going to bed.

Alright, makes sense. Think you can give me any aid in FILD? Same as wild, count numbers? I remember hearing counting anything will stop you from being able to FILD.

You shouldn't keep your phone next to your head (or next to any other part of your body if you can avoid it, actually) when it's on. Even when you're not speaking it keeps checking for a signal and, according to a recent study, the emissions get your cells to do funny things.

As for HI and WILDing I can't really help you there. I always doze off when I try it.

Odd, my mathematics teacher just mentioned that to us today as well.

Do you have any suggestions to a better way to wake myself up?

That's a myth. Provide some proof because until then, that's total bogus. If this were true, why hasn't anything bad happened to us yet?

What I was told today was that they start the mass reproduction of cancer cells, though I really doubt it.
