I tried to do FILD for some nights, but I always have one problem: I do FILD for like, 15-20 mins or so, but I don't fall asleep. What's more is that I can't fall asleep for 1-2 hours after.
What should I Do?

Are you trying it immediately after going to bed? If so, you have a bit of an uphill battle. Its best to try 5 or 6 hours after you first go to sleep. Even if you try to do it immediately after going to bed, 20 minutes isn't long enough to get any results.
i didn't do it right after going to bed, but after waking up from a dream
and this was always 4-6 hours after going to sleep :(
Did you checked out the tutorial? Here it is : http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...ream-fild.html
If you read it already and you still can't do it then please tell me so we can talk about it :D
Could you give me a step by step what you are doing? Most importantly how you are waking. If FILD (which is really just DEILD with your fingers as an anchor) doesn't work after about a minute you should stop trying.
Added to what BrandonBoss said,If it doesn't work after 1 min of trying you should quit it BUT,but, You can do WBTB! WBTB Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
FILD tends to be hit-or-miss. It's a type of WILD which is a more difficult yet "better" way to induce lucidity, so it will take a lot of practice. Also, it may not be the method for you. I personally never got anywhere with it, and I remember trying it years ago for months.
Follow everyone else's advice and keep trying before you come to the following conclusion, but there's every chance that the method just isn't for you. Different people have different ways of getting lucid, some ways work for some, others work for others. That's just how it is, everybody's different. It isn't a bad thing, it just means experimentation is a big part in learning how to lucid dream; experimenting with methods, and various ways of doing those methods.
Good luck!
thanks everyone for replying but i have realized that DILD is the only technique that actually works for me ^^
I don't take FILD seriously. No offense.
It's a legit WILD technique, but its efficacy varies.Quote:

My question to the more experienced is how long do I have to keep the journal ? And I also agree that if FILD fails in the first few minutes, the best thing to do is to change to the highly efective WBTB technique.
