As the topic title suggests, my problem is getting from SP to LD's or even OBE's.
I know I'm in SP due to a number of clues; such as all-around heaviness, the odd sense of slight separation, and most notably -- the shift in awareness (described as 'a new sense of clarity to my thoughts' and 'a lack of other, miscellaneous thoughts').
Point being made is that I DO get into SP.
Problem is, I can't seem to enter a LD or OBE thereafter.
If I keep up with my 'awareness' or 'sense of self', I end up just lying there for what will seem like forever! If I let my thoughts drift, I end up falling asleep -- without awareness.

what do?
