Plenty of chances!

Last I went to sleep looking to try a CANWILD. Although I woke up 3 times before the alarm went off, I tried doing a regular WILD every time but couldn't seem to get anything to happen. (Come to think of it they could have been false awakenings, i never did open my eyes) Tonight if this happens again i am going to try a FILD. Anybody had any success with FILDs?

Me! I've only attempted it once, and had immediate success! I also woke up for no apparent reason, and decided to try a fild. So I just lay there, completely still, and when I saw the colour swirls (they precede the Hypnogogic Hallucinations for me), I started moving my fingers as instructed in the FILD technique. My fingers didn't slow down or anything, I just kept it up applying fewer and fewer physical pressure, until only my dreambody-fingers were moving. I stopped, tried to move my physical body, but couldn't. I saw some more colours and geometrical shapes but no other hallucinations. So I gave it another moment until I saw nothing anymore, got up, did a reality check and turns out I was dreaming So I'd say it's pretty effective. Will try it again as soon as I get the chance.

I've been meaning to attempt a FILD, but I haven't really got the procedure down yet. Come to think of it, I never really read the procedure.
