Hey, welcome to the forum. I'm a bit drunk, so you'll have to excuse me a bit, but for some reason I thought "27? Man he's a bit old", only to realize just after I'm 25, so that's not old anymore, lol. Anyway, It's great you've already had some LDs before showing up here. If you find yourself still experiencing SP, that can actually be a great help in getting lucid dreams if a technique I'll outline a bit further down that I use works for you.

In any case, do you know anything about different technique names, like DILD and WILD? If you wouldn't mind, outline what you already know so I know where to start.

As far as a technique for transitioning from SP into a WILD goes, back when I first started LDing I got in SP and was wondering how to transition from it to a dream (most people have a hard time at this part). I had a random idea I decided to try out right there, and it worked! I imagined, or rather fully "believed" that a vortex/black hole was behind my head, and that it would suck me up. I also believed or kind of just "knew" that once I was fully sucked up, I would wind up in a dream after that. I was sucked up within a second or two and found myself in a dream. I've used it many, many times ever since, sometimes varying it with having the vortex appear by my feet, and I can't think of a single time it hasn't worked. It's literally the only thing to do with LDing that I've had a 100% success rate with (or if I have failed before, I don't remember failing... which is entirely possible I suppose). If you find yourself in SP again, give it a try.
