Greetings from Finland.

I finally decided to join this community after couple months of lurking. It was last year when I first discovered this site, and it sounded so fun to try. Sadly I haven't managed to get lucid yet. After that couple tries ended up to me not relaxing enough. Once I managed to get past the SP but was jolted awake by a rather loud sound, can't remember the sound but it was my closest effort yet.

I've got lucid couple times when I was younger, but mostly they were DILDS, also I've got SP many times before falling asleep, it felt funny . Mostly they were short ones but there was one longer one, but got excited and soon I was awake. And I remember all of them

As I try to WILD in before sleeping or during afternoon(WBTB does not work very well) my efforts always fail when I slowly enter to SP. I just focus too much on the physical sensentations, especially my eyes as I try them to keep them in a fixed position (So can I move them freely or is it as forbidden as movement?) and thereby can't relax properly, but I'm getting there, bit by bit.

Hopefully I achieve lucidity in couple months, atleast during this summer or even today as I know I can achieve it, it's just matter of time and patience.

It seems that I just can't relax enough when I achieve SP, so is there any way to get even more relaxed, or do I just need to lie still and let the process continue on it's own?
