This image could be of anything; a tree, a partial view of a scene of some sort, someone’s faint face in profile, whatever. It doesn’t really matter what the image is, just attempt to keep that image within view by
deliberately examining its details. Don’t fixate your eyes on any single aspect of that image or attempt to try to force anything because the
likelihood is that it’ll just vanish away only to be replaced with another moments later. If not, just go back to watching the dark space and blobs
of colour that are roughly about fifteen or so inches from your face from behind your closed eyes until another image appears all by itself.

You may experience several sessions like this (vague images and sometimes clearer ones) and then inadvertently drift off to sleep before anything
else can happen. This is all quite normal so keep this practice up.
Everyone has spent a lifetime unconsciously relaxing and going straight
off to sleep, a habit you are now trying to break by becoming conscious of
the process itself. Moreover, at one point along this road you’ll
encounter a startlingly clear image that appears frozen, so clear that
you’ll experience an irresistible need to open your eyes just to make sure that they’re still actually closed.

Again, this may happen to you several times before you get to the point
that you can eventually resist the temptation to throw open your eyes each
time just to check. Something which is surprisingly difficult to resist as
it appears to be some kind of an unconscious reflex that takes time to
learn to overcome. Relax and let things go at their own pace. Your only
real job at this point is to observe these images and not let yourself
fall fast asleep as per usual.

Anyway, keep trying and you will eventually succeed in absorbing the mild
jolt involved in being confronted with these startlingly clear images and
being able to maintain your focus on only the images themselves instead of yourself and how you feel (which, you’re supposed to be deliberately
ignoring and looking away from anyway – remember?).

Again, the only drawback at this point is that of maybe falling fast
asleep in an instant only to wake up what seems like only moments later,
albeit in truth hours have passed, wondering what the hell happened plus
where has the night gone. Then again, not to worry – ha! ha! It’s an expected effect, so just try to laugh it off. Don’t get annoyed, for
example, at yourself through being perplexed by strange events. This is
all part of the learning curve. Just try again, and again, and even again
– I think you probably get the picture. Eventually, something changes and
you stop falling asleep or opening your eyes each time, whereupon a series
of seemingly even more really clear images show up. These images are so
vivid, in fact, that you’re suddenly right back to automatically popping
open your eyes just to make sure they’re still actually closed. This may reoccur several times before you finally manage to resist the reflex urge involved. However, just like the last time and after a few experiences of
it, you’ll quickly learn to compensate. This is another very good lesson
and practice for you because what comes next is even more startling;
images so clear and sharp that they are a wonder to behold! Having got
over snapping open your eyes every time, you can now begin to examine
these incredibly clear images with more ease. It’s like being at the
movies and just watching them is a minor wonder in itself.

At this point you now have two choices. The first of which is to carry on watching and wondering (plus enjoying) this really incredible experience
just for its own sake, in which case at some point you’ll likely fall
fully fast asleep and wake up the next day as usual. Watching these really clear images for any length of time (a marvellous experience though it is) always leads to falling away into normal sleep. On the other hand, if you instead stare at one of them and attempt to examine the finer details of
it, something very strange happens; a sensation of what can only really be described as a kind of ‘zooming-in’ – and then you’ll suddenly find yourself in a fully lucid dreaming state.

Well done, you’ve just made it into your very first waking-induced lucid dream! You’ve just gone WILD. (Yeeea!)

The only problem you may initially encounter at this stage is that of accidentally drifting right off into a deep sleep, and this is something that’s quite likely to happen repeatedly until you learn to recognise this

as being a distinct possibility. After all, every night for the duration
of our lives to date, we’ve always piled into bed with the express expectation of getting off to sleep as quickly as possible. We never know, or even remember, just exactly how (or when) we actually drifted off, but usually just lie there kind of relaxing and getting comfortable while waiting to be somehow snatched away.

It’s a ritual we’ve all unconsciously learned to perform since before we

were born. One feels kind of drowsy and the eyes close while not really thinking of anything in particular, and before you know it we’ve gone off to sleep without even realising it. Suddenly it’s the next day, something we’re all totally expert at doing by now because we’ve been doing it all

our lives. So anyway, keep going like this, lightly gazing at fleeting images while trying not to accidentally nod off completely, until a really clear image shows up, sometimes shockingly so! Next, do your best to let your eyes examine some of that image’s details.

This image could be of anything; a tree, a partial view of a scene of some sort, someone’s faint face in profile, whatever. It doesn’t really matter

what the image is, just attempt to keep that image within view by deliberately examining its details. Don’t fixate your eyes on any single aspect of that image or attempt to try to force anything because the likelihood is that it’ll just vanish away only to be replaced with another
