Last night was my first vivid HI experience , and I think I was close to LDIng, but my issue was this: entering the dream.
I know there are most likely previous threads about this, under WILD, or whatever. but if we could compile some creative ideas of how to enter the dream, if you will, then i’d apprecate it.
For example, some people say to try and “roll out of your real body” and enter your dream body.
This is interesting.
Its things like this, above, that I would be very grateful for and interested in.
i have that same exact problem, i see HI almost every night i try WILD
but when i try to focus on them or…imaging myslef in water and floating up out of water, it never works and soon the HI fades and all my WILD work is wated so i just give up and try mild (that way i fall asleep and trying to become lucid)
the last time I tried WILD I went from HI right into a ND. Which is better than nothing, I guess (since I’m a noob) … actually I was pre-lucid. (is that considered LD? or just almost-LD?)
Anyway,
that was with WBTB.
I just know that I didn’t quite realize the moment I stepped into the dream. It was kind of weird. I guess I got so sleepy that I forgot I was trying to see HI…
… actually I was pre-lucid. (is that considered LD? 
or just almost-LD?)
