So here is what happened. After I read the how to part in the book it was so simple like the book said, and it was almost close to WILD and OBE techniques. I felt already tired that moment so I stopped reading the book and gave it a try for short nap. I lied on my bed and did what the book exactly said. I imagined of a deep nice voice of a man and I used the phrase "I" instead of "you". As I breathed through nose I kept telling myself sleep and deep sleep, and tried to feel very relaxed and sleepy as much as possible, BUT being aware at the same time. I think the whole process took about 35-40 minutes but it felt like 2 hours. I noticed that my body was suddenly 'sinking' - like the muscles relaxing, but most of the time when this happened I 'jerked' and it made me completely awake. However, this time I did not even jerk! My body was not 'awake', instead my mind got a little awakened but my body still tried to keep sleeping. I kept auto-suggesting myself (I did not focus on only words, I tried to picture of me getting deep sleep) and I felt really relaxed, but the interesting thing was I still aware. So at this point I tried to picture of me getting lucid, but somehow I lost my focus and I think I slept...or I just blacked out. I do not remember if I ever slept lol. Suddenly at some point I heard a melody of familiar song. It took a while to remember that song. It was once the song I used to listen to but I completely forgot few years ago, but this whole melody of it came out nowhere and it brought my memory back! After that I started feeling close to WILD so I pictured myself playing guitar at huge concert. I started playing music in my head and it was so vivid. I could even hear its clear bass drops. It felt like I did not even need a mp3 player to listen to this song lol. It sounded so real. I tried to get into LD but somehow I only could stay at the 'border' between dream and half asleep. Like I felt playing the guitar but my point of view was still in bed...its hard to explain lol. Anyway after playing the song I got into dream. I was still aware that I was dreaming but not fully aware. I was lurking around the town, trying to picture my dream house. I got into this one house and everything was so vivid. At some point I woke up from the dream and I was lying on my bed. I tried to open my eyes but it did not work! My whole body could not move. I immediately noticed that I was in SP but I did not even have vibration or nothing. At this state I really felt like my mind was awake, my body was supposed to move but it did not work. My mind was still active and think logically. This never happened before when I was in SPs. My heart was beating fast and I started getting scared but my body still could not move. Then I remembered the thing in the book. When I was reading it I did not understand why there is a techqniue to wake up but now I understood. I remembered its technique and followed the procedure carefully. 'as I count to 10 my eyes will open.' so I counted to 10 and it worked but I was too tired my eyes felt so heavy so I counted again and my eyes were compltely open, but my body could not move yet. I counted 10 for the body too and I could finally move my body. but then I felt so tired and hazy so I counted 10 again to refresh my mind, and it totally worked. I never felt tired.
