I had some really interesting imagery after I finished my SSILD cycles last night. Instead of random shapes or a flash of a vivid image like I've experienced before - this time, against the black of my eyelids there was like.. a 2D animation of a robed man like the hermit in my avatar walking for several seconds, then it would disappear and start again. There was no detail in him, the figure was just all black. I watched this with fascination before slipping into non lucid dreams.
Ah, sweet! That kind of imagery is a very, very good sign, at least for my style of WILD. Once I start getting these, I try to passively observe them and let them solidify, maintaining my awareness and identity so I'll stay lucid. I kind of operate by feel on when to make my move, but once I imagine myself in the scene and start engaging other senses (particularly touch), that's how I make my way in.

Great stuff, man... very close there! Your instincts will get sharper and sharper the more of this you do.
