Hey, I'm new here :3

I've tried 3 WILDS recently for the first time, and on my third attempt I got somewhere, I don't know why but I think SP is fun

However, I did not LD.

I want to know what I did wrong, I fell asleep at about 00Am and set my alarm for 5:49Am, that should of been enough time, right?

So I woke up and looked at my clock for 2 minutes, I think here is where I went wrong, am I supposed to fully wake myself up before starting?

So anyway, I was lying there and using the breathing counting method, at about 100 my neck hurt like hell for a couple of seconds and then the vibrations started, I thought it was pretty cool. But I kept counting and got to about 533 before giving up.

My questions really are, am I supposed to keep my eyes closed/open while attempting this, and am I aiming to fall asleep while doing it, or just stay awake until a lucid dream happens?

Thanks in advance.
