Hey everyone,

Could anyone give me a somewhat detailed example of what it is like attaining lucidity through the WILD technique?

It's just, I've been practicing this technique and I've never (as far as I know) gone from awake to dreaming conciously. It's quite hard to do, is it not? I spent almost two hours lastnight trying to do it (concentrating on breathing, etc).

I get very relaxed, and I start seeing the beginning of the hypogogic imagery - as described in 'Exploring the world of Lucid dreaming' by LaBerge. (Fascinating book by the way).

Anyway, could someone explain to me what it is like going from your awake state to your dreaming state? Like what your body goes through/feels like in the process?

Also, does anyone know of any particularly effective ways of relaxing more thoroughly before attempting? I've gotten quite relaxed but I feel that there could be a better technique than the "61 point technique" (which seems far too complicated).

Thanks everyone your advice is always appreciated.
