Hello, so as the title suggests, the past two nights I've had a recurring issue when attempting to WILD.

Fortunately enough I automatically wake up early in the morning by myself which is good for attempting a WILD, as around that time I am in my REM cycle. I would immediately then lay still and the vibrations would come as well as some flashing lights; I believe that's the image hallucinations.

Now what happens is I think I am too hasty and try to "open my dream eyes" or "stand up" into the dream world. When I tried though, I found that I was opening my real eyes, or actually got up.

I've WILDed a few times before and this was never a problem. I would easily enter a lucid dream when the vibrations and flashing lights behind my eyelids occur.

I guess what I'm asking is, what is the proper way to do it? Wait for the vibrations and hallucinations to STOP, then enter the dream? Or do I enter the dream whilst the vibrations and hallucinations occur? When do I know its safe to open my "dream eyes" and know I won't open my real eyes?

P.S apologies if the post is a little long, just trying to clearly express my issue.

Thanks.
