Seconds later I usually feel the SP effects and transitions,

My question to you is, what do you think would be a better way for me to WILD rather than just rely on the luck I described above, and also what do you think it is that wakes me up right before transition. I know other wild'ers mention "anchor's" that they use to bring them back to conscious awareness whenever they are slipping to low, but for me it always feels like luck and random awareness. How can I improve this method, and also how could I learn to WILD at will for example, at night before prior sleep, or during a late afternoon nap.

Last question, what is your take on dream control and improving it? Does it all have to do with confidence.
Interesting, my experience of WILDs are exactly the same. After Sageous's reply though, I am wondering if they are infact DILDs. For me, these "WILDs" always start with me slipping into unconciousness before being jolted back into awareness with the onset of SP, like my mind is almost asleep but my subconcious has learned the sensation of the onset of SP and knows I am about to start dreaming. It doesn't really feel dream initiated, rather SP initiated. Huh, maybe that should be a new acronym, SPILD, lol.

Thanks for your insights anyway, Sageous. I will have to read more of this thread in the morning
