I used to have lots of LDs when I was younger, not so much anymore. Most of my dreams are semi-lucid and it drives me crazy how I don't realize I'm dreaming even after all of the stupid things I do/see!

Anyway, I want to try jeff777's (?) tutorial thing where you enter SP by lying awake for 20 mins or so resisting your body's natural urge to toss and turn and itch and swallow...etc. After entering the SP stage (from what I can understand) you're supposed to wait to transition and then you can enter into astral projection or an LD.

What I'm worried about is the SP part. I'm worried about this. Something about it scares me. I think mostly the fact that I'm going to be 'stuck' like that. I know it's not possible, but it's a fear! I don't want to get as far as SP and then freak out and ruin it because I'm so scared!

How can I enter a LD from SP? And how can I calm myself enough to do this while in SP?

Please and thanks!
