I've been able to LD for over 10 years now but all that I have ever been able to pull off are DILDs. I've been LDing for a while now and I've mastered almost everything but there is one thing left I want to master, that's WILDs.

Whenever I try to WILD, I succeed at the early steps every time. I am able to relax my whole body and after 10 minutes, have it shut down as it would if I were asleep but I am fully conscious and am unable to dream.

I always end up at one of two endings.
A. I am able to relax completely as if I were asleep but retain full consciousness but can't fall asleep or
B. I just fall asleep and lose all consciousness.

I was wondering what could I do to practise falling asleep without losing all consciousness, but not be too conscious that I can't fall asleep.

A bit of extra info:
I only attempt to WILD during naps or at around 4:00 AM,
I don't keep a dream journal as I can remember my dreams over the last two weeks no problem and about a third of the ones over the last 3 months.


Any help or exercises to get me past this roadblock would be greatly appreciated.
