Yeah so since I started trying to WILD I have noticed a trend recently. I hardly ever used to see hypnagogic stuff when I am just trying to sleep... Maybe once a week. Now since I've been trying to WILD I see it almost every night. If, at the time, I am not trying to WILD I will be like "Cool... hypnagogic stuff" and then fall asleep within 5 minutes. Interestingly enough, with my WILD attempts, I tend to see VERY LITTLE hypnagogic imagery.
So my questions here are:

To those of you who have tried WILD:

Did you find it made you see hypnagogic imagery more often, even when you weren't trying to WILD? Maybe this is because you are becoming more aware of the transition from wake to sleep that your body makes every night?

and:

Why don't I see hypnagogic stuff when I actually TRY to WILD?... instinct tells me I'm trying TOO hard... but I'd still like input.
