Hehe, yup, that's the question.
Ok, so you lay down as you would normally go to sleep. But instead of shutting your mind and body down, you let your body shut down while you keep your mind awake. You do this by "entertaining" your mind.
You can either count, repeat your mantra (phrase that reinforces your intent), watch the back of your closed eyelids (you would be surprised what's there), or some other method.
You stay mostly still (more in the tutorial), just as you would when trying to fall asleep (that's your final goal anyway), until your mind thinks you are asleep and starts the sleeping process. For your mind to start the dreams, you have to WILD after at least 4.5 hrs of sleep, when REM stage is closer to time when you fall asleep. So WILDing at the time of your first time going to bed is not a good idea.
Hope this makes sense, if not please do ask. Happy dreams
