It's a method that works for me.

That's not to say that the traditional technique for WILDing isn't right. Nothing can really be considered wrong when you do this. It just simply comes down to what works best for you. Take some time and try out both methods and see what works best for you. I hope this helps.
I've read some people are good at doing it that way. I'm too much of an insomniac to allow my thoughts to drift too much. I bet if you can do it that way it would make the transition smoother. Flowing into the dream without being startled awake by the sudden appearance of random Hi and dream scenes. I think I would have a lot of trouble staying aware through that process though.
