Well if you suddenly become aware that your falling asleep like when I do sometimes then there is a transition. |

Oh, I found out that if you want a better chance at realizing your falling asleep then catch one of those weird thoughts when your in deep relaxation and almost asleep. You need good awareness to do this. Once you catch that thought in deep deep relaxation don't move at all. Or open your eyes. Then just try to do a WILD from were you left off. |
|
Let me see if I understand... you have to notice when these random thoughts start, wake yourself, lay down and do it again, several times? I think I did this before when trying to enter a dream with full conscious awareness, but I just ended up falling asleep. Do you have to remain conscious when you enter the dream or you have to lose your consciousness, then you will realise that you are dreaming later? |
|
You don't wake yourself up. Its just that realizeing these thoughts kinda keeps you from falling asleep. Unless you're in deep relaxation. Then you can continue falling asleep while staying conscious to do a WILD. You don't have to stay conscious if you don't want to, but then you won't get a WILD. It might trigger a DILD later. |

This sorta actually worked. |

Dude you were close! You were having HI, you were probably transitioning into a dream. Sometimes when i accidentally start going into a WILD Im suddenly looking at another place even though my eyes are closed. Like last time I started seeing that I was in some room with a shelf in front of me that had a digital clock ontop of it ( I don't have a shelf OR a digital clock in my room), but I opened my eyes and it went away . But usually it takes me off guard and I kinda freak out for a second. |

Ok so last night as I was falling asleep my mind wandered, I caught it 2 times then fell asleep, me being the idiot I am, I forgot to turn my WIlD alarm on. But I did manage to have a farely vivid dream. I will do this the next two nights (with alarms) and will report back Thursday |

Well, to fall asleep you don't really move. Just get into a comfortable position and just fall asleep with the intent of having that WILD. |

Woo hoo I had a lucid dream last night |

Finally it actually worked with someone else besides me. xD |

sounds like a interesting technique, i will definetly try it tonight |
|
I'm surprised no one had commented on the fact that this is already an established technique on the forum: |

Theres a technique similar to this, though that technique seems a bit harder, you dont have to go through SP. Its called the zig zag technique and most people never heard of it. The jist of it is that you catch your self thinking these weird thoughts(Like you said), but you let yourself fall asleep and a few seconds later repeat the process over and over again. Falling asleep allows the imagery to become more vivid and more and more close to a dream state. After repeating the steps of falling asleep and catching yourself, you should catch yourself and become aware in a dream state. |
