I was meditating last night as I do every night and made a small step in the right direction. I'm now treating my meditations as a WILD session with the intention of astrally projecting as a bonus.

I have always had trouble with just observing dreams as they start to form, the moment I feel like they are becoming 'real' I pull myself out. I think this is my reaction to a loss of control that I feel at that moment, because to continue does entail a certain amount of loss of concious control to fall into the dream.
As I went deeper into meditation last night I saw some very real 3D scenes forming and could almost feel some of the objects I was seeing in front of me. I't about the closest I have come to be conciously aware of a dream, although I still felt myself being drawn back to reality as the scene became more realistic, and so each dip in lasted only a few seconds.

I also had a short WILD yesterday morning and woke immediately with the strongest tingling and vibrating sensation I have ever felt. I tried to put myself into a dream but couldn't bring on any images very quickly so tried to will myself out of body. Nothing worked and I sort of then woke up fully.

Small steps.
