Primarily from experience -- the vast majority of my successful WILD's occurred while on my back, with on my right side coming in a distant second. Aside from that anecdotal evidence (which ought to be enough, I think, given the overall subjective nature of my course), I believe the sleep yoga folks recommend sleeping on your back if possible, and I've also noticed most reports I've gotten from other accomplished LD'ers over the years included sleeping on their back.

So my suggestion may be based on anecdotal evidence, but who knows? There may be some consciousness-related brain chemistry that occurs only when you sleep on your back. Whatever it might be, going to sleep on your back seems to work best.

That's strange but I have had to open my eyes in a LD before. At the time I wasn't sure if I was opening my real eyes or dreams eyes. When I saw a pickup truck in front of me I knew.
