Shadowmilo, some people don't see HI when they WILD. I very rarely ever do. Although the vast majority of my WILDs are in-dream (yep, already sleeping... usually because I catch a false awakening, so I WILD then)... I have done them going from awake to sleep... and my transitions are usually seamless. Meaning, I don't even know they just happened. And I will be dreaming that I'm lying there on the couch, thinking I haven't transitioned yet.

I would suggest that you not attempt a WILD until you've had at least 4 hours of solid sleep. If you find you go to sleep too quickly, you might need to stay awake longer during your WBTB. If you want amazing results, stay awake a full hour. After an hour, you will be awake enough that the awareness factor starts to turn back on. Yes, it is harder to fall back to sleep, which is why it's so important to really relax first. Focus on releasing tension from your muscles, and sinking deeper into relaxation with each exhale. Combined with relaxing and being passively aware of your anchor (which could be the sound of your breath, if you so desire); the SP, falling asleep, and even whatever HH you may experience will come naturally. You can't force this part, it will come on it's own accord.

Also, I'm moving this to the WILD forums
