I havent achieved a full on lucid dream yet, but like you i also try to wild when i go to sleep anyway even though like you say, it seems to be near impossible, but i dont believe that. I believe it just takes a dedicated mind. I have only tried this a few times and i am making more and more progress every time. I think the reason it is said to be so hard to enter a dream when you first go to sleep, is because your supposed to have a certain amount of hours for your body to reach REM sleep. Last night i felt like i skipped that process entirely. I am not reccomending using marijuanna, but i did use before i went to sleep. It personally helps me to relax when i lay down and usually results in some pretty good sleep. This is me though.

I also experienced the sudden twitches, and had the same thoughts that "ok cool its bout to happen" but that thinkig is wrong. You should not think about that or what your body is feeling like or if you have entered SP. My key is to think first about actually trying to sleep, while every so often tell yourself and repeat frequently that you will dream, that you know you will be dreaming. This is easy to misunderstand however, because when i say i focus on my breathing i dont focus on how im breathing i focus on the sound and feeling of my breathing. Also doing the obvious of keeping my body still, sure it may get uncomfortable and get those annoying itches but the point is to make yourself not notice them. When you start thinking bout them just switch back to your breathing and mantra.

When i feel as though i am really drifting away, at the point where it feels as though you dont even have a body, that you are just floating or flying, this is what i believe to be the part that happens immediately before our dream begins. This is the part where i failed. I was imagining myself laying in my be and i thought that i had woke up in my dream bed and i did reality checks and things but i was actually really awake lol. It felt like i was so close that i even mistook reality as a dream.

I am going to try this again tonight, along with the CANWILD, and if that doesnt work even the WBTB all in one night. I am determined to master this, and so should you. this is far too interesting and amazing to not be dedicated to.
