First, it isn't something I can always do, but when I'm "in the zone," it's easy. I've been looking at those circumstances that seem favorable to it, which I've identified mostly as mornings after I've already had an LD or two. I have never once pulled this off right on going to bed at night - but I have a couple times during mid-day naps.
When it works, it goes like this; I concentrate as intensely as possible on the HI. For me, it starts out as blobby lights and patterns, which then start resolving into 2d images, and from there into 3d images. Once the 3d stuff starts, I have to be careful, because if I "hold on" too tight the same thing happens to me that you experience. So right at that point, I have to allow myself to "lose it" - briefly. I don't know how else to explain this.
When it works right, I then find myself fully in the dream - and immediately remembering that I'm dreaming. The trick then is to establish my "dream body" and then start interacting.
That's one of my WILD experiences. A very different one has me laying there without HI - concentrating on my body and the sensations as it goes to sleep. When this works, it results in an experience that could easily be confused with an OBE... I literally get up out of my sleeping body in the same room and go into dreamland from there. (I've done the tests for OBE and they always fail.) I can exercise typical lucid control in these dreams.[/b]
