Hi, I'm new to the forums, and am having some problems actually getting into a lucid dream from SP, using WILD. I've had just 2 DILD LD's before, but they were short-lived. Since then I've been trying to WILD.

Actually getting into SP is no problem with the WBTB technique, I sorta slip in after some time and make sure to keep my mind awake, it hits me as I hear reaaally loud ringing that oscillates 'around' my ears and vibrations around my body. When im fearful these vibrations will be very scary and volatile but when relaxed they're nice and playful, i go with it. I don't see many hallucinations, just every now and again. SO! I'm in SP, mind still awake, body asleep, and im trying now to transition into a dream. Ive read people say that they see the dream forming around them, nope that hasn't happened for me. I've tried visualising a dream forming, and visualising and placing myself in a previous dream ive had. No help.. I've tried focusing on my third eye, i just felt energy around it it didnt help me go into a LD. There was one time when i tried to WILD after WBTB.. I relaxed and stayed still for about.. 5 minutes, sleeping on my stomach. Then, BAM, Sleep paralysis, loud ringing and vibrations.. but then felt something very strange.. after about 5 minutes of this SP it intensifyed, and i felt the oscillating ringing sounds sorta go into my ear, then a VERY strong vibration down my spine, and my eyes were going nuts, all the time i was conscious, I remember thinking, Oh this must be REM sleep... lol. I also remember thinking, this will be very hard to remember, and indeed i was sort of forgetting the experience while i was in it, if that makes sense. The vibration down my spine was verrryyy strong and it was quite uncomfortable given the intensity and loudness of the ringing too. Bear in mind all the time i was visualising, chanting, trying to go into a LD. After that I sorta just fell out of the SP and 'woke up'. Felt like 25 minutes had passed, checked the time and an hour and 10 minutes had passed... i went thru an entire sleep cycle with nothing. I probably lost consciousness during though..

Only ONCE, has WILD sort of worked. I was in SP, and tried all the visualisation etc, but then decided, F it its not gonna work, so i decided to just experience the SP. Soon after, I realised i was in my kitchen serving myself dinner, this seemed strange to me, given that i was IN MY BED! so I concluded, oh shit it worked! im in a LD! Got really excited, then got confused, was I in the kitchen or in bed? Felt my dream body and real body at once and they became blurred.. I tried a last ditch attempt to stabilise the dream, rubbed my hands, said "stabilise the dream NOW!" didn't work, and I just woke up.

So I ask, people of DreamViews, is there a surefire way to transition into a LD from SP, because getting into SP is simple for me, just slipping into a dream is the hard part. I feel like if i just 'go with it' like i did that one time i'll end up having a normal dream, and won't be lucid. Has this happened to any of you? what has helped? Any suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you.
