From SP to Lucidity

Hey everyone,

I'm new and just wanted to say hello to everyone. I also have a question. I have been attempting the WILD LDing technique for about a week and half and everytime, it seems, I can get to the SP stage ("vibrations" as i've seen you all call it often on this board), but once I am in that stage, I never know how to continue...

Usually, the "vibration" feeling will come and go, getting stronger at times, and then getting weaker; but I can never figure out how to actually advance into the LD. I usually end up opening my eyes to check if I am in a dream and I do an RC and look around for any changes, but it always turns out that I am actually awake... and after that, I've already woken myself to the point that if I want to try again, I have to start from the way beginning.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much,
Adam

Just don't wake up!
Continue with relaxed breathing/counting/whatever you normally do until either A) you are just suddenly in an LD or b) you start to float around with your eyes closed or another such sensation. THEN open your eyes!
