Imagine yourself walking down a long flight of stairs, or spiral stairs. Count every step as you feel your foot hit it.

Imagine climbing an infinite ladder that extends upward from your body in bed, count every rung as you climb.

Count your breath on every exhale. Each time you exhale and count, blink your eyes open and then shut again (reverse blinking).
I actually did this last night to put myself in trance to make auto-suggestion more effective for MILDing and it worked really well, better than any other technique for relaxation I've tried. So I'm definitely gonna check this out for WILDing tonight. How many of your LDs come from WILDs?
