Feelings of falling asleep..?

Ok I have a question about being fully awake and going into a lucid dream.. I have mastered wbtb and I have mastered dild.. So I know what techniques are and how to do them and things like that. I also have an understanding that the REAL trick is.. Aside from all that dream journal and recall crap that you gotta do for days weeks and months.. Is that you have to master relaxation. You have to be able to relax yourself so much that you feel like you are floating in mid air.

I'm starting to get the hang of that which leads me to my question. For those of you who are able to enter a lucid dream from being fully awake or during an afternoon nap. Can you take me through the process of sleep paralysis. Like "when I try to lucid dream I lay down in my bed. When my body starts to vibrate that's my first notable mile stone, then I start to see things" what do you feel and what do you do to enhance those feelings of relaxation? When you see hypnagogic imagery what does it look like and how do you see it? Mine looks like I sloppily teared a piece of white scratch paper and it is forever changing shape and size, just barely, and I can very vaguely see it. That's all I'm really interested in is how to get to sleep paralysis, I feel that is a must for mastering.

There's common misconception about sleep paralysis, you don't really have to reach it to get WILD, in fact, if you reach it you are most likely already in the dream/false awakening and dreaming about getting sleep paralysis(talking from my experiences). The true sleep paralysis only exists in sleep disorder form and strange feelings we feel during WILD process are just normal feelings caused by relaxation.

As for the WILD process itself i am one of those few people who get almost no sensations during the transition itself for some reason, only some vision/tactile HH/HI on the relaxation phase and it's fairly vivid.

I agree with checker ^^

sleep paralysis is not the aim in WILD, those sensationa are not even sleep paralysis like the previous poster stated. Moreover, it is important to focus on your dream instead, because the more you pat attention to the physical sensations, the more you will get grounded in the physical world and thus have a hard time entering the dream. While it might be inevitable to notice those sensations, the best you can do with them is to recognize that you are supposed to be focusing on the dream since your body is already starting to fall asleep.
