Just like skipping a stone
I can WILD. It can be extremely difficult but also amazing if achieved. Almost like a short roller coaster ride where you lose all thought and control for a milisecond.
However, I think that regardless of how you initiate your first LD of the night the best method of WILDing is jumping to another LD - or I guess that could be a DILD or whatever you want to call it.
I have done this so many times and suggestions for this on this site are dead on. If you have an LD, and you wake up DO NOT MOVE. It may be a false awakening or it may be a real one but if you do not move and concentrate there is a good chance of jumping into another one. EVERY time I have physically moved in bed I have failed. I'm not sure why that is.
My record is 3 or 4 in a row - eventually my rock seems to sink into the lake. Would be interested in finding out how many people have strung together.
