well im sorry if this has been posted before but i cant seem to find it.. or im just not understanding

this step
2. Now close your eyes and think to yourself, "I will lucid dream. I will move from waking to lucidity." Concentrate on your breathing. (Try not to let your mind wonder from this point on; but also too much obsession towards the Wild success may prove uneventful.)

then you go on to this
3. What you might see is random flashing and streaks of color. Look carefully at this blackness. This is all the beginning of the your brains imagery, (Hypnologic imagery). You need to watch this imagery but do not focus hard, your vision needs to be relaxed, your eyelids should gently be closed not forced shut. Some solid objects and scenes should appear.

am i doing something wrong ^^?

thanks
