I have a good method i think to get the feel of HI for beginning WILDers out there:
If you have a night lamp turn that on or else just leave your reg. light on. Then leave your eyes open and try to just zone out. Try to not focus on anything that your looking at.
Eventually you should start to see some weird things like walls moving and patterns appearing out of nowhere.
Although you cant go straight into a lucid dream from this it is good to get the feel for what HI is and it helps with whatever WILD tech you use.
Please try this and let me know how it works!
