I am now trying to learn how to WILD for months and I probably read nearly every guide in this site, tried staying still or to move normally, to visualize or to count, to fall asleep mostly normally or to WILD very intentionally. Never got to SP, no vibrations, no sounds and barely any hypnagogia. Nothing I did intentionally got me really far so there was a point where I started to really wonder what else I could do.

That is until yesterday, something interesting happened. I was sorta very tired and listened to someone on the telephone for a few minutes straight without answering. Obviously I tried to stay awake, but then at some point I started to drift away and suddenly started to play a round of Team Fortress 2 in my head, and it very rapidly became realistic and gained a vividness I never could reproduce in my intentional visualization attempts. As much as I know to try and let the dream fill in the details, it is really hard to get to that point for me, but this time absolutely everything jost popped up by itself. If I would've just allowed myself to slip over at that point I think I really could have VILDed quite easily, just well it would be pretty rude to do that while someone is telling you something important, so I cancelled it

To me it seems like there is a WILDing technique out there to which I haven't seen a guide yet and it's in some way a form of VILD. I might make experiments with getting really tired, then lying down and doing the exact opposite of what's recommended, trying to stay awake for as long as possible, without trying to do anything specific, possibly just listen to outside sounds. If my theory about what happened is right, than I will soon reach a point where I start "dreaming internally", and every small spark could make this dream manifest right before me, giving me the opportunity to step in without trying to WILD intentionally at all.
If that works I will likely make a guide for it.

Now to my questions, do you have experiences with something similar? Maybe is there already an guide to a technique like this which I just didn't found yet?
