WILD?

I could be wrong but I'll try to explain...

Usually it happens upon waking from a dream or lucid dream especially the latter.I feel a sort of magnetic pull like being sucked into sleep. Its like when you're exhausted except then you blackout into a dreamless sleep but with added awareness and no loss of consciousness. There's no voices or vibrations or anything like that -just that pull. my eyelids feel very heavy and almost forced shut and it takes a surprising amount of effort to open them or even think of opening them. Once I'm locked in i then see white - not a flash of light or anything. just bright whiteness that takes over my field of vision. This then fades out and I'm then in an LD. I mostly end up in the previous dream or my bedroom as a default.Then its business as usual for me as far as LDs go.When one ends I go through the same process and so on.

A few notes...

I can think aloud in the white. I might even over-think. I still get a result though so maybe I'm only half-wrong.

I have tried to harness this before, to direct my focus with the same outcome. But if I don't think this through I end up in the same place anyway so..
 
I'm naturally wimpy and I'm beginning to suspect that maybe someone wiser knows that I'm not well-equipped to deal with anything more advanced (not religious btw) and that my LD 'box' is actually the safe place for me or something.

Happens mostly when I nap in the middle of the day (around 4-5 pm) and particularly when I oversleep say till 7-9 that night.

There are the semi-rare instances where I enter a dream as soon as I fall asleep. I find myself in my dream-bed. My limbs are heavy and I have to crawl forcefully off my bed onto the floor. Its a funny sensation like slowly peeling a plaster. Then a normal LD follows. Maybe this is closer to a WILD?

Also, the dreams themselves are becoming more vivid and are lasting longer and I'm less fearful. They're still stilted and uneventful but I guess you take the bad with the good.

I'd like to have a full-blown conscious OBE but while that doesn't seem to be something that'll happen anytime soon while these lucid experiences happen regularly. So I'd like to know if there is there anyway of utilising this transitioning process into something more developed or expansive? I've read the stickies on the site and I'm still struggling.
Thanks

When in a LD try to force yourself awake very slowly and do your best to get as much awareness as you can first. This helps your memory of the events changing from sleep state to waking state.. You should attempt this in around what feels like 10 mins or so. A slow process to do but you may find the benefits instantly.
There's obviously something I want you to experience in this that I'm not telling you about. 
It should be an eye opener.
You'll know when successful.
A tip is you may not actually be physically awake. Your thoughts have more effect than you realise. Its also not the easiest thing to do. Keep trying and this will really help you.
