ah. were can i get this mp3
I was trying to WILD.
i did a relaxation exercise, then concentrated on breathing.
After a while, i reached a really wierd state. I began to feel wierd feelings, my thoughts became distorted. Then i felt like i was drifting into darkness…but i never did. What was i supposed to do? i felt like i was soooo close…
Did you hear/see/feel anything unusual?
You would probably reach the hypnagogic state if you did something to prevent you from falling asleep, like the Monroe trick. All you have to do, is to lean one of your arms up the wall, and relax. If you’re falling asleep the hand will fall down and cause you to awake. You just have to continue to do this until you’ve reached the HHs 
I didnt feel or see anything, but i felt ALOT of wierd stuff.
Idk if i’ll get warned, but my, uh…dick reacted in a pretty wierd way, too.
Felt more like an OOBE though, and i dont want one of those right now.
Well I have been try to LD for several weeks now with no success…I usually do the method where Im trying keep my mind awake and goin 1…Im dreaming…2…Im dreaming etc etc…so anyways this goes on for several minutes and I usually stare like…into my eyelids and its got weird colors alot of the time and sometimes it doesnt…it comes and goes. So after a while I get this spinning feeling…like im spinning around in my bed…sometimes its intense and sometimes its not bad. My big question is…am I close or does the spinning have nothing to do with anything?
Usually I lay on my back when I try this. On my side I just drift off without anything at somepoint. For somereason I never have any luck with WBTB either.
Usually after I get to the spinning part it will change into something else. Like I’m falling straight backwards or forwards, then if i focus on it I’m in a dream.
Alternately I get startled and it wakes me up. So yes you are very close if you get that spinning sensation.
Sometimes I try to focus on it and nothing comes about. Usually for some goofy reason if I’m REALLY close like my leg will twitch or something.
I will have to try and let the spinning go this time for a long time.
If you don’t do this with WBTB, when do you do it? I don’t like WBTB…
I tend to enter a lucid dream about ten seconds after the spinning begins, so it sounds like you’re close.
I do this right when im going to sleep.
Yeah I can never do WBTB…I can never fall back to sleep once I try. Maybe I will just have to keep on trying the WBTB or focusing more on the spinning. I get very close sometimes then I just come out of it.
Before you go to sleep?
Well, you have no rem period during that stage, so no dream will arise. Think it might be best to try it during a REM period or in an afternoon nap.
[b]I try the WILD combined with MILD technique when I go to bed, which is around 2am for me. Anyways. I never even seem to get to the part where I feel heavy and everything is numb and stuff. Should I just keep my mind endlessly focused until this happens? My problem seems to be I lose track of what I am doing and just fall asleep and have a ND
I have another question, since you are concious during this entire endeavor, once the lucid dream begins, are you concious during this too, or do you somehow pass out at some point between the numb and falling feeling and the dream itself? I’m afraid that I will still be conscious and will somehow end my own dream once I obtain it.[/b]
You have to go to sleep first, then later on do WILD or MILD (Check WBTB)
So am I to understand that you must have already been asleep and woken up to practice WILD, you cannot just go to bed and try it?
Well, you dream during REM periods, and when you go to sleep, you start off at diffrent stages. I think wikipedia might be able to clear it up.

Oh, ya that makes sense lol
Should your eyes be open or closed while attempting to do a WILD? Or does it even matter? Feels silly for asking, lol
closed, and don’t feel silly, I asked the same thing once.
Well, if you are used to sleeping with open eyes, then keeping them open when attempting WILD is alright
