thanks, the mask is a good idea... Today i actually had a semisuccessful WILD. I was focusing on relaxing so when i returned to looking at the images, my eyes wouldn't open, however, i nodded off longer than i expected and started to dream a bit, then i remembered my goal all of a sudden and tried to realize what i was seeing... I was in a strange room for about ten seconds before my excitement woke me up again... keep at it, i just started about a week ago and im seeing some progress. I think getting some ear plugs and and eye thingie will make a big difference because external noises always seem to float into my mind when i least want them too.
