The Final Step

iv made some pretty good progress over the last couple days. i had my first ld 2 nights ago and it was amazing. i did this using deild and tried it again last night. i got very close and felt and heard the sounds associated with sp and i could see images very clearly. it was like i was soaring through the air and was trying to pick a place to land in the landscape. i just couldnt pull myself all the way through into the dream. i woke up shortly after. is there any advice on how to take the final step and pull yourself into the dream?

Try to reach out and touch something. If you can grasp something and feel it. Like really have the feeling of that thing in your mind. The more senses that you activate (touch, sound etc.) the better. Soon you may feel yourself inside the dream, do a reality check if you need to and then use the variety of techniques that exist to really make the dream vivid and real. I think a few of these include rubbing your hands together and spinning. I've heard of another thing that can help get you into the dream. If you see a scene of people try to look someone in the eyes. You were really close (closer than I've ever been!), I think you'll do it next time. Good luck!
