Hehehe, I have a friend who’s brother would apparently sleepwalk with his eyes open when he was younger. Made for some interesting occurences…
It does sound like you’re quite close; many of the sensations you’re reporting have been cited by other WILDers in the past. You may want to try to enter or “jump into” your HI; though it sounds as if you aren’t getting much in the way of visuals, so you may want to wait for a while until they’ve been going for some time. Ask in The BIG WILD topic for more info.
