THE SECRET OF HOW WE FALL ASLEEP REVEALED.
We all have to fall asleep don't we? Like it or not, at some point in our
day, we all start to feel fatigued and start yawning. Our eyes get gritty
and a weary feeling spreads throughout our body, at which point we know
it's time for bed. No one deliberately falls asleep, we instead just lay
there relaxing and getting comfortable, and the next thing you know we're somehow magically snatched away off into sleep and dreaming without ever remembering the exact moment of doing so!

So how's it done? How does one actually fall into some mysteriously
unconscious state without even remembering having done so? How is it even possible other than the fact that we've been doing it a whole lifetime in
some kind of completely automatic way? Plus what IS sleep anyway??
The standard answer is that we all get tired and have to rest. Sleep,
under those circumstances, comes by itself merely by hanging around for
long enough in that sleepy-zone, and that's it. Get tired enough and you
fall asleep. Who needs to know more!
The truth of the matter is, however, something else entirely. What sleep
is, and how we fall into it, being seemingly hidden from us by the 'act'
of sleep itself. That whatever actually happens to us and with us to
induce sleep, is veiled by sleep itself and the fact that it's hard to
remember anything that goes on when we're sleeping, unfortunately this
includes the entry phase too.
What 'actually' happens, however, is that as we're laying there getting comfortable and waiting for sleep to somehow mysteriously overtake us, we unwitting begin to contemplate the vague images and thoughts that
increasingly run through our minds. In a kind of absent-minded way we of
gaze at these passing images and ideas, they somehow then mysteriously
pulling us into some kind of an altered state of awareness in which we're basically unconscious and generally unaware of what's happening. Classic
sleep has arrived, and we then cycle through several rises and falls in consciousness until eventually waking up fully restored some several hours later...
This is the secret of how we all fall asleep! Those passing images 'pulls'
us into it because we've unconsciously learned to go along with them doing
so!
This too is the secret of WILDing, in that more deliberately finding, recognising and then observing those images (called hypnagogia), results
in a situation where we can then see + witness just exactly 'how' these hypnagogic images then pulls us into that altered state, albeit this time
in the full conscious awareness of doing so, something that results in a
waking dream instead of unconscious sleep!
Being that passively gazing at these hypnagogia always but always results
in being pulled into them, the secret + key to WILDs, therefore, is to
trigger a WILD 'before' we inevitably fall into an unconscious sleep!
Watch the hypnagogia and do nothing and you'll eventually fall asleep like
a baby. That's how it's done! Only we usually never remember that part...
Watch those same hypnagogia and 'deliberately' trigger the process
'before' you fall asleep, however, and a WILD results instead!
The choice is actually ours to either fall asleep as per usual, or to
instead enter into that same state of altered awareness more consciously
and aware in what’s then called a Waking-Induced Lucid Dream - a WILD!
It's so simple (and obvious when you think about it heh) that it's
ridiculous! :)
