So close it hurts

Last night when I laid down I tried Yoshi's technique for WILDing. I had relaxed and after maybe ten minutes I laid on my side and decided I was done "trying" to WILD and would just go to sleep. I found myself in a dream where ants were crawling all over me(I seriously hate ants). Then i heard some loud noises, which transitioned into what I heard as some kid skateboarding outside my window. He fell and started screaming. The whole thing turned into a loud commotion. Then it all stopped. It was all black and quiet again. I was aware since I heard the loud noises. I assume these were HHs and I was almost WILDing. Well, I was impatient and didn't wait for a dream scene, so I tried getting up, to find myself in an FA. I pinched my nose, and found it hard, but not impossible to breathe. I then woke up. It was about 20 minutes after I had turned to my side.
So, I was WILDing for about all of two seconds. How can I ensure I get this again? How can I reproduce these results?

Wow! Congrats on being so close! I recommend to just keep trying Yoshi's Technique, and doing what you've been doing. You'll get there! Good luck

Well done, I wouldn't say you were close, I would say you were there, now you just need to perfect what you are doing.
Staying in the dream is not part of the WILD technique, it is more about dream control, getting into a dream by WILD is never easy!

I am having some difficulty falling into SP fast enough. It seems to be taking so long I lose concentration. Any tips?

It sounds like you might not be relaxed enough. You can't be anxious about if your WILD will be successful or not, you just have to relax and go with the flow. Check out my thread and scroll down to the "I am too awake!" section. Good luck!

Well, I tried this stuff in my nap today. I felt very relaxed and felt that heaviness after maybe ten minutes. I was trying the freefall technique, but didn't get pat SP. I laid in bed for over an hour waiting, and I'm kind of peeved that I lost out on sleep time. Am I not fully into SP? If you can, anyone, offer your sage advice. Thanks!
