Thread: All Day Awareness, A DILD Tutorial by KingYoshi

I would suggest just breaking it up for different days. Like, one day focus on just visuals and hearing. The next day, try to focus more on touch and smell. Try to alternate the days and you should start to get a feel for everything. Just mix it up and try to really focus on two different combinations each day until you have to repeat. Then simply repeat the process. After a bit, you could try 3 senses, 4, etc.

Thanks for this guide. I'll start following it and I'll let you know what happens.

Awesome! Good luck to you !

Damn ! Yoshi i've just readed the whole tutorial and everything u said
then went to sleep and i had LD ! so it works very cool.

bless u for this !

I've been trying this as well, but so far no results at all, my dreams are still quite un-vivid. Could be because of lack of results I slackened my attempts... I guess I just have to continue a while longer, I'm a hard case ^^"

Along with lots of reality checks, I have been doing this for a couple of days. The problem is, Im a person who really likes to think about things in my head. I like to think about everything, but with this awareness thing, i cant really do that.

I have you to thank for my first lucid dream Yoshi. Training myself to be more aware combined with your WILD technique lead me straight into it. Thanks a ton

I'm gonna start practicing this, hopefully ill get good at it and lucid dream a lot.

Ah, try to stay as positive as you can. Be confident that any technique you attempt will work well for you. Try not to get discouraged and just keep practicing. You would be surprised how far expectations and confidence can go when it comes to lucid dreaming. Good luck to you...I know you can do it !

Hmm, I would suggest just performing ADA in sessions throughout the day instead of at all times. This way you can get all of your thinking in and just take a break from it for an ADA session every now and then. Even a little practice with ADA could show results and help you along your path toward lucidity.

Awesome! I am really only providing tips and information, you are the one doing all the hard work ! Congrats and I'm glad I could help out a bit.

Nice! Be sure to update us with your progress. Good luck to you!!

I've read your post several times now, but this time I want to actually do it. I'm a hell of a lazy person, but I'll try to keep this up.
About a week ago, I started to be aware and talking talking to myself (sounds so silly lol) before I go to sleep, creating a "pact" with my awareness and got a lucid dream out of it. So I think that with more awareness that has more effect too.
So I will thank you beforehand and wish everybody here good luck with their attemps.

Ah, I am a bit lazy myself . Even just some ADA practice here and there can help boost your percentages to become lucid. Every little bit helps and you don't have to go all out right off the bat. Start small and work your way up if you need to.

A little self motivation by talking to yourself just before bed can definitely be effective. That is awesome that it worked out for you. Good luck with your ADA and be sure to update us with your progress !

I should try out this method - although sometimes I have multiple tasks and have to pay attention to them (exams for example) :S

Tell me about it

It's hard to be aware of your surroundings when you're attempting to retain large amounts of vital information in your short term memory.

@Bloody hell; that sounds good as a start, times like that when you're doing nothing else are really useful for this technique. I try to do it any time I'm not focussing on anything in particular.

Ah, indeed. Your schooling should always come first. You can just practice ADA during your free time or when you really have nothing to do.

Because that is kinda what I did. Each day I need to travel 2 times around half an hour by bus, with not much to do, so I did my ADA session then and just manually registerd everything I felt, heard, smelled and saw, and the changes in them.

Does this sounds allright or am I missing the point xD

Yup, sounds like you are doing it correctly. Try to really pick up on the things you wouldn't have noticed before.

My turn to chime in. Thank you for your tutorial, Yoshi. I have always kind of flirted with awareness but now I'm putting more effort into it. I am starting off slow, though, because being a Mother hogs up most of my effort these days.
I do make sure that I am using a slight version of ADA while I am driving. I used to just put on a CD and kind of zone out, because driving to me is very soothing. But now I make sure the music is off and absorb everything that goes on around me while I drive, which actually makes me a better driver, I think. Will be slowly bringing ADA more and more into my day as well, and of course will report back any results
You rock, and stuff.

I posted on here a while ago, but haven't done this because I have been really busy. I haven't even practiced LDing since around December, but I think I'm ready to get back into the game. But I think I'm really going to start doing this again. This site is the only connection iv had to lucid dreaming these last few months, I come on here everyday. Even though I haven't been practicing lding in a while.

3 lucids in the past 2 night! I started off with the idea that the level of the awareness is most important. Then, after thinking about it for a lil while, i came up with the idea that the duration of the awareness is at least as important. So I started doing lower-level awareness all day long. That was the 11th. Had 2 LD's in the night 11th-12th ( without DEILD ) and 1 in the night 12th-13th (last night) . So i guess the theory was right

So, my advice to all the others who practice this:
Don't think about the level of the awareness too much. Find a level of awareness which you can keep up pretty much all day, then try to make that 'standard' level a little higher when you feel you're ready for it. Ofcourse, sessions of very high level awareness between the standard awareness is still something to recommend

EDIT: To avoid misconceptions, i'm not saying that the level of awareness is not important, just that it is less important than some of you may think.

( Srry about your time if this is obvious to you, but i suspect that i'm not the only one who has made this mistake)

Guess who's back? I have had 4 lucid dreams since Monday. @ in one night even I am on a role. I am starting to notice the small things like when a computer screen across a classroom flashes once or when i see the overhead board to my right come on outa the corner of my eyes.

Thanks for the compliments ! Heightened awareness can definitely help improve your driving ability in my opinion. Good luck to you and I look forward to hearing your progress .

Ah, I hear ya man. This site is like crack . Well, good luck getting back into lucid dreaming!

Nice job and congrats on your success. Its always an excellent idea to experiment with lucid dreaming. You can follow a technique, but never be afraid to add your own spin to it. There are so many ways to become lucid and the tutorials on this site are really just guidelines. I really like what you did here. Nice work!

Nice! You seem to really be getting the hang of the awareness practice. Congrats on your success and keep up the good work !

Quick question. Can I set a few alarms throughout the day to remind me to do some awareness practice ? And then as I get better I wont need the alarms and I'll will just do it in my own.

Yeah, that could definitely help. I say go for it!

That sounds like a brilliant idea actually, especially if you couple the awareness session with RC's, (inspect hands, nose-plug, 'where was I and hour ago' etc.) I may start doing that too

Yea I just figured it will be hard for me to remember to practice awareness at first, so I can use and external assistant. But I can't depend on that for too long because you dont want to be dependant on that, or else you'll rely on it. It goes the same with reality checks. If ur using an alarm to tell you when to perform reality checks, you'd only want to use it till you make a conscious habit to do it on your own without an external stimulus

Good point :/, still as a starting point it's a good solution.
