My personal method?

So yeah, the past few nights have been scary and fun, I went through trying almost every technique in LaBerge's book, but none of them worked.
But few nights back, I somehow enter SP a lot each night, but learned how to control it? Well it first starts out as I start thinking on how I want to lucid dream so bad, then I Wait roughly 20 minutes thinking on it and resting all parts of my body, tightening and loosening them one by one. Then after 5 minutes of meditating on that, I start to enter a little phase of SP, including some of my limbs twitching, after nights of doing this, I've realized to wait it out. Right now, I make up my mind, if I want to LD tonight, I go through it it, If I don't I just move my body. So I go with it, and I go fully into SP. The Vibrations, hallucinations, but for me it stops in about 3 minutes. (Make sure you have your mind set on a landscape and your body sitting/standing on it while this is happening). After the SP passes, you'll find yourself in the dream, on the landscape you put your mind to. It's all self-explanatory from here..

Thank you, and I hope you try this out?

Hey, I think that's a V-WILD (Visual WILD). It's a really nice method, but it never worked for me

Often abbreviated V-WILD or VILD, a common variant of the WILD technique is to incorporate a visualization component. As your hypnagogic imagery forms it is possible to manipulate it and use your visualization powers to create a dream. Usually in high levels of consciousness you will not actually see your visualizations, you only get the concept of it. Conceptualization is a better term for this early stage of visualization. As your hypnagogic hallucinations become more detailed you should start to sense your visualizations with your sight and other senses as well. It's important to sense with all of your senses, not just the visual one. Obviously, the visual sense is one of the most important, but so it tactile senses and audio senses. These increase the realism of your visualization.

It is important to not attempt to control every aspect of your dream scene here, you want to both give input to the dream as well as receive output back. For instance if you are visualizing a car, don't try to visualize what the dash looks like, what kind of seats it has and things like that, just the abstract concept of the car. Your dream will create the car as it sees fit. You create the concept, let your dream will fill in the details.

With this variation of the WILD technique you can paint your own dream landscape, however without good visualization skills this can be difficult.
