Are you sure you are not sleep deprived when you have those ultrafast WILDs ?

Thank you

Not sleep deprived for sure, I sleep at least 7-8 hours a day. However I am pretty tired, I do martial arts and gym/run after work.

I simply close my eyes and wait for images to come, but I do expect them, I can say I am pretty sure I will see them. In the beginning I usually see some geometrical forms, like circles, curves, dots, lanes. Those forms are always smooth, with no angles. Later I start seeing something in the middle, in the beginning it is hard to say what is it, because it is very blurred. What happens later I described in details in the OP. I do not think of anything particular, those images are random and I am still conscious and I always feel confused and i keep thinking where are they coming from. Later when I have better control I can choose a new theme/dream.
Few things I noticed, It works better for me when it is dark and silent in my room. Sometimes when it is noisy I wear vacuum headphones and listen to some audio book. Images are not connected to book content.

When I fall asleep and loose my conscious before I see how my dreams are forming, I usually see and feel something like a drop of water and vibrations around it, I do not see the actual drop in the middle, but I can see those vibrations and they are coming from the middle, the rest I do not remember. I know there is a blank space between my awake and dream in this case, I usually get lucid as soon as I enter my dream.

I believe lucid dreaming is all about how confident we are in what we do, your power of intent can do miracles. Doubts always make it harder to lucid dream.

Make a better one. he said that intent is a very big part of it. Wishing for someone else's skill will only stop you from discovering your own. Use other's experience as a way to learn how to adapt your own technique to lucid till it becomes a second nature technique made 100% for you.
