Thread: How to make the dream transition consistently?

I can hit sleep paralysis every time now. My problem is I can't make the transition to a lucid dream consistently.

I try visualizing a scene but that only sometimes works.

I try letting a random scene form around me, but almost always, nothing ever comes.

And then the vibrations fade away and I'm stuck in sp.

Do you have any transition techniques that I could try that would be mostly consistent?

If you are in full SP you should see some hypnagogic imagery and then you just have to calmly observe them and then a dream should form, and that's a transition.

I never get HI though. Only sometimes do I see white flashes. Every time it's just a
black landscape. I always wait for something to happen and it never does. And trust me it's full sp because I've transitioned it before.

I am by no means an expert on WILD, but I have spent 4+ years doing body awareness relaxation, so I can get to SP easily as well. Judging from my experiences, what others have told me, and what you are saying, I think perhaps you are a bit too focused, or a bit too amped up (anxious perhaps) about the transition process. You have to walk the fine line between staying aware and 'letting' yourself fall asleep. I know that if I am thinking about the transition too much, I'll just lie there in SP, body all warm, until I get tired of it, regardless of what anchor(s) I use. Of course, if I let go too much, I wind up in a non-lucid.

As far as techniques, the one that finally worked for me (today actually), was moving my dream hands and arms once I hit SP. I tried to pull them away from my body, rub them together, etc. They felt very heavy, but they WERE moving. After doing that for awhile, I opened my eyes and I was in a lucid. I've done that many times before and still failed, however.

Like I said, I'm still a WILD novice, but maybe my comments will help

Yes. You nailed it I was too focused. I attempted this morning and just let it happen and I relaxed and just watched a random scene form around me.

Thank you!

Great! Congrats! Glad it helped
