That's pretty good for a first try! Don't give up and good luck. And it's like Clarity said, if it works for you, do it and ignore everyone else that says you shouldn't.

And yeah, the falling asleep thing can be a problem for me too [though I've only tried to WILD two or three times], I tend to lose focus when images and sounds start to pop in, it's a common thing to happen [fall alseep while trying that is] so like I said before, don't give up and good luck!
