As usual I tried to just stay aware looking for the 'tipping point' - that is a moment when I feel like I am falling over or somehow losing/shifting my sense of balance. From that point I know that I am very close to actually falling asleep, even though I might still feel pretty awake. I then usually try imagining rubbing my hand over a distinct surface like a carpet or a billard table. Sometimes this gets me to a WILD directly. However, this time I fell asleep after the tipping point, but when another dream started, I almost instantly noticed that I was dreaming and tried to stay calm (which worked pretty good this time).


About that voice (actually it wasn't a real voice, it was more like a feeling of "I should do this and that"), I am not so sure how much value to give it. It might just as well be my subconscious playing around with me giving me some random advice or something that I read in a book once. Also, I found it pretty hard to concentrate on just 2 senses at the absolute exact moment, 5 seems pretty much impossible.

I am not sure actually what to do next time I get lucid. Maybe I should just repeat the same process, or maybe try a meditation with open eyes ( although I read somewhere that looking at one exact point for an extended time when lucid will get you to wake up as well).

You'll probably know as soon you hit the dream.
As for the "voice" - yeah, I suppose it could turn out to be in the "DCs say the darndest things" category, but there's sometimes quite a bit of truth in what on the surface appears as a silly message. Dreams can be a bit cryptic.
Anyway, a "voice" coming to you beats chasing DCs around to ask them for advice.
