I did mean FILD - and thanks! I’d just like to know if there’s an easier way to get myself to the state where I’m mostly asleep but still conscious of the fact that I’m awake - if you know what I’m trying to say?
Staying in the dream is also difficult (what few successful LDs I’ve had have either been very short - less than 10 seconds - or without much detail) but that seems like a much more common problem.
