      There are a few things you can try out before LSD (if you wish). Sitting awake in pitch black darkness (or close to it) for several minutes (10 minutes or so) before actually attempting your WILD allows your eyes time to adjust to the darkness. They will be more relaxed and won't move around as much. Once you get that "falling" feeling, make sure your whole body is relaxed and you aren't tensing up. Just relax and let your body "drift away." Once you hit SP, alot of times the increased heart beat and eye movements are simply hallucinations. If you know you are calm and relaxed, but your eyes and heart are going crazy, then this is most likely a hallucination and its best just to let them happen. Just ignore them, or if you can't, simply allow them to do their time and then they will go away. Most hallucinations don't last very long (many will come and go, just allow them to come and go on their own will). It sounds to me like you are close to hitting full SP. If you are attempting this when first going to sleep, it can be very difficult to accomplish. I suggest trying to hit SP during these times:

      WBTB (wake back to bed)
      waking after 4+ hours of sleep, staying awake for a few minutes (5-15 min) and then attemp to hit SP

      or

      Naps
      1-7 hours after waking in the morning, attempt to hit SP during a nap.

      Note: Hitting SP outside of these time periods is very possible, but it is so much more difficult.

      PS: If your eyes open on their own, then perform a RC (reality check) to make sure you aren't really dreaming. FAs (false awakenings) are very common during LDs...especially WILDs

      PSS: LSD...not recommended
