Update:
Just tried another bit of MILD using a modified version of the LD Test Preset, to which I lessened the background noise by half- to where I can distinctly discern the wave. After 48 minutes of relaxing with eyes closed I only briefly and mildy got any hypnagogic images, only one of which was a actual representation of something; a flowing stream as through from a champagne bottle.

I took a long break after this attempt, then began another without any entrainment. This time very little if any hypnagogic images ever manigfested. I lay 45+ minutes, after 15 of which I felt sleepy- despite laying the remaning 30+ minutes I never got anywhere, despite feeling the most relaxed in my life.


I realise I am still new to it all, but cannot help feeling "bad off." If you haven't read my original post please attempt too, as it explains my situation completely. Otherwise, any advice is and always will be greatly appreciated.
