Recently, I've been able to get to the transition phase almost every night, but I haven't been able to get past it. I'm not sure that my transitions are real anymore.

The first time I WILDed, I felt vibrations so intense I couldn't think of anything except vibration. I also heard a sound like a train was running me over. The next time I had a WILD, the vibrations were much milder and I didn't hear any noise. I still managed to transition, though.

Now, my nightly ritual goes like this. I'll wake up on my own some time during the night, roll over, and go to sleep like I normally would. Sometime during this period though, I'll feel a change in my awareness, like my consciousness is floating...it's a little hard to describe. But I'll be completely conscious, and start concentrating on my memories of vibrations. And as soon as I do, the vibrations come.

They've become very mild, though -- like my body had been a chainsaw the first time, and now it's lightly humming. They're still unmistakeable, but dulled. And I'll be in that state for a while, able to think of anything I want. And somehow during the transition my awareness fades and I guess I fall asleep.

Last night I decided to try this technique to pass the vibrational stage. I managed to concentrate the vibrations onto my brain, but it felt like my brain was rattling around in my skull. In retrospect, the entire experience was very dreamlike. And I still fell asleep.

So do you think I'm somehow dreaming the transitions? I can control them, they're dulled, and I don't transition anymore. Or should I try to stay more conscious during the vibrations so that I can transition?
