Edit: Ok. What I do when I get the buzzing tingling vibrations thing, I keep my eyes closed and completely relax (it helps even more if I can imagine that I'm focusing that buzzing into the mask of my face, but that may not be necessary for you, and may just be something to think about later).

Now, while in this relaxed state, with the buzzing and such, you can pick from a couple of things:
  • Slooowly open your [dream] eyes, and yes, you may just find yourself in your bed in your room. So check for anomalies or anything out of place. This is where many people have a false awakening, because in this OBE style of WILD, you end up in your room and it can be a touch tricky to distinguish between dream and "oh did I just wake up for real?" If you discover that you are in fact dreaming already, then just get up out of bed and start your adventures! I start out a little slowly at first, just because I admit I have trepidations about moving too fast in the first few seconds, and worry I'll end up up moving/waking-up for real. Which brings us to the next one,
  • If you find that during this buzziness phase, that you're trying to start your dream and opening your eyes, moving, getting up etc, and it turns out that you woke up for real, then I suggest an alternative: Instead of "opening your dream eyes" and getting up or moving in any way when you feel this buzzing, just keep your eyes closed. Then, imagine that (without opening your eyelids, or thinking of opening your eyelids), imagine that your eyelids are still closed, but becoming transparent. Imagine what you now see through them... maybe it's still your room (which is what I do 99% of the time), or maybe another scene entirely. Once this scene is fully established (I'd guesstimate 10-20 seconds if that), then this is where you continue with what I said about the getting up, or moving around slowly to get your bearings and do what you like to do best for getting yourself locked in the dream.


The good news is, you're already naturally making the steps for WILDs, which is awesome. I know it can be a little vague about when to know when the dream actually started. Honestly, it's for you to really experiment upon. I just told you how it's like for me. But there again, you have already made the first giant leaps by getting to that transitional phase. Now all you have to do is experiment with the timing. I'm actually really excited to see how this goes for you! Please keep us posted, and feel free to keep asking questions.

Also, someone who helped me alot when I was trying to figure all this out, was Sageous, per this thread from his WILD class (which you may want to look into): http://www.dreamviews.com/wild/13228...out-noise.html

And finally, gab's thread about all the different physical entry phases associated with WILDs: http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...ntry-wild.html

Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

Thank you so much! No luck in the past couple because of messed up sleep cycles and headaches, but I should be set for tonight. But one more question I have; when to open my eyes. Do I do it while I see/hear/feel the HI imagery or after it's already gone? Or does the HI simply not matter and I only open my eyes when I'm significantly relaxed? And if it's the latter, how do I know that I'm significantly relaxed? Is there some trick to it or is it a guess-and-test type of thing?

Anyway thanks for the help. And one more question; did you change your avatar in the past week or so? cause i couldv'e sworn your avatar's eyes used to blue
