You were very close.

I have a few bits of advice based on how I WILD.

1) Ignore all hallucinations. I have had audio, tactile and visual). Know that they will occur and be ambivient about them. With time you will learn to accept all manner of oddness as nothing more than a "sign" that you are close to take off.

2) The visual scenes (what I call mini dreams or dreamlets) come in waves. The first ones are breif or hazy or fade in half formed and then fade out. These will get stronger. If you continue to relax and dont get excited then one will come that is quite "solid" and lasts more than a second or so. When this happens just focus on one small area. DOnt move in your dream just stare at the closest and most mundane thing you can (a wall, the floor, the table top. When you do this you will notice the dream becomes hyper real - its like someone is turning a dial up. Its quite hard to explain but everything gets very vivid and real. As this happens let it finish - dont get excieted and break too soon. Once the dream is hyper vivd and does not seem to becoming any more so then you are there will be free to move around as you want.

I like to think of it like surfing. YOu do all that work to get out to where the waves break. Having done that its important to be paitent and not ride the first small waves to come along. Know that a big wave is going to come sooner or later - and thats the one you want to ride.
