Tried again, and I felt my whole body vibrating, my vision started flashing white. Then I stopped concentrating because I assumed the transition would just happen lol. The feeling passed.

Oh well, I'm making progress with each attempt
Wow, you're really getting there, yeah remember to hug that SP tight and don't let go, then you'll hopefully slip into a dream.

This happens a lot. The way you are trying to enter the dream rarely ends up being the way you actually succeed. The visualization is just a tool in itself. It helps draw your attention away from your normal center of self awareness. It opens the door so your dreaming mind can slip in and take over. At least it does for me

If you find it too frightening, try during an afternoon nap. The daylight and the extra feeling of security knowing other people are around can help you feel safer.
Lol visualizing hasn't really helped me yet, I think it's just about using it in a way that is effective for me, but that's fine tuning, and that comes later haha. As for the frights, nah I just have to get over it I suppose, great feeling when you overcome these scary hallucinations, and anyway, half of my SP's are very spiritual and relaxing, so thats good I guess. I'll try to get it to 100% good stuff, I wonder if anyone's ever experienced that, just all 'good' hallucinations, and if you can have nothing scary. It's possible... if no one's done it I'll do it lol.
