Put it this way, it's basically like you sitting in a room, and imagining some scary stuff. Who cares?! It's just your imagination!
Think of the benefits, endure a few minutes of this at the most, and be transported to a world where ANYTHING is possible!
It's no worse than a nightmare, and once you reassure yourself that nothing can happen to you, it's kind of fun!
At the end, it comes down to you. There's not much more I can say. Just believe in yourself! Tell me how it goes. :)

Thanks for the motivation. You're totally right. I didn't even see, hear or feel anything scary when I was in SP, other than the thought of something scary happening. And it's not like I run out of the room when I'm watching a Horror/Thriller movie, so I shouldn't run away from hallucinations that probably won't even be that bad, if they even do appear. And if they do, I could always tell myself it's Redfluffykins. That could even make me appear in a dream next to her and turn out for the better, heh.

But anyway, I'd like to have another Lucid Dream soon. I haven't had one in a while. Maybe even try facing whatever it is I'm scared of in the dream and just get rid of it. Then DEILD after waking from the same dream :P

Sounds good man!
So you're not actually trying DEILD primarily?

Right now I'm kinda just trying DILD by getting used to doing a RC every time I see the R I wrote on my hand. That's kind of all I'm doing at the moment. No mantras or WBTB (I have trouble going back to sleep after being up for too long) yet. That time I went into SP was totally by accident. It wasn't until a second before it hit me that I remembered what DEILD was.

Next time I happen to wake up without moving I might try DEILD. Also if I enter a Lucid Dream I might try to DEILD when I feel myself slipping out of it. It seems like an excellent technique. The best I've heard of actually. Once I successfully do a DEILD or start Lucid Dreaming often I'll probably make it my primary technique.

Okay, sweet, tell me how it goes.
You might want to give mantra's a shot. I find them super effective, and they require minimal effort.

Great, I'll throw some mantras into the mix too then. Just gotta decide what I should say. Any ideas?

Well if you want to DILD, I suggest something like; "I am dreaming" or "I am aware."
I presume you already know the fundamentals of Mantras. Just make sure you really mean them, you're thinking and listening to them, and what they mean.
Alot of people believe that one mantra performed correctly is equivelant to say, 100 that were done incorrectly.

I've taken a few days off from dreaming trying to fix my sleeping pattern. The past few days I have attempted a DEILD I always experience the SP now but I don't ever become lucid, I think it's because I lose awareness and just fall back to sleep lol.

Tell me how that works out for you :)
Gosh, this thread is starting to die a bit... :(

It better not be - this thread rocks!

Also, if you missed my thread about my recent dream, I finally achieved spontaneous lucidity! It only took about a week since I started trying. Unfortunately I didn't do much. I spent a lot of time dancing in the lounge room with my cats and crawling on the floor moaning in pleasure of the realistic feeling of everything (I purposely exaggerated the moaning in my dream for lulz). I wanted to walk across the road to my neighbor and bust in like I owned the joint but I somehow wasn't fully sure if it was a dream, it felt too real! Then when I finally walked outside it was morning instead of night, and my neighbor had a huge fire going in his front yard which made me sure it was all a dream. On my way I was being stupid and suspected demons to appear to see if it'd happen, but nothing did. Unfortunately I found myself wide awake (for real, not FA) as I was about to touch some grass to regain stability. Oh well. It's a start!

I've only had 4 hours sleep today. I'm feeling pretty tired. Also feeling pretty lucky that I might hit jackpot again. Here's hoping I do!

Dude, that's awesome! You've done really well, congratulatiions :)
Considering my first lucids were 5-10 seconds, mainly blackness straight after I become lucid, your dream is pretty mad, right?
I'm cheering you on to complete your lucid goals! :D

Thanks man.

Yeah I've realized I was dreaming plenty of times in the past but never knew about lucid dreaming so I either just chilled or woke myself up depending on if the dream was good or bad (could only stay "lucid" for about 10 seconds though).

My second proper lucid dream went for about 10-15 minutes and I managed to turn myself into a human rocket which was pretty cool. Couldn't really fly very well but it was still fun.

I also sometimes see mini movie-like dreams while falling asleep, but I'll keep switching from in a mini dream to being awake and conscious again for about 5 seconds to dreaming again etc.. So it's hard to try to enter one of them as a dream. I remember I had a very vivid one while napping on a couch and was fully aware it was one of the mini dreams but didn't really try to enter it. But maybe with some practice that could be a good way to have a lucid. Kinda like WILD/DEILD Hypnagogic Imagery but without SP.

Nice, sounds like you're a natural...
Switch bodies with me! ;D

Hey Yuppie, I've been trying your technique for some days and didnt have success.

Can you tell me how much time you usually take to "go back to the dream" ?
I think I give up too early :p

For me it took about 10-15 seconds to enter the extremely dangerous, dreadful, life-threatening (/sarcasm) SP. Unless you mean after that.

I wake up a lot of times naturally after some of my dreams and almost always try to perform a DEILD, but I never achieved the SP :/

Just now found this thread, after deciding to try a new technique. Thanks for the guide, Yuppie. :) I'm going to try this technique later and see how it goes, considering I've only been doing DILDs up to this point.

Rubens - Sleep Parlaysis isn't necessary for DEILD. Infact, I'd say it would be more common not to experience it, then it would be to whilst attempting to DEILD. Mainly because the transition is so fast!
Generally take about 10-30 seconds :)
Also, you can't expect me to help you without details.

Dragonworkz - Sounds good mate, thanks :)
Please do drop back and tell me how it goes!

Great post man! I've used this method before and it absolutely works! A few days practice does set the mood and intention and after that it's smooth sailing. This is a perfect straight to the point tutorial.

Thanks so much! :D

Had another Lucid Dream tonight, hooray! 'Tis in my DJ if you're interested. Only a week since my last dream too. It's also much better than the last one. I haven't been reading up on lucidity much recently, nor have I been sticking to my techniques. Failed to DEILD though :( Maybe next time.

I've been trying this the last few nights and I definitely realise I'm awake at least once a night. I keep moving and looking at my clock though. Should I try that "when I see this 'my eyes closed' I stay still" mantra?

Quick question: Does DEILDing have effects like WILDing? Like hallucinations, lights, vibrations, etc.?

also, I'm getting the feeling I may have asked this a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure, so sorry if I already asked this.

I've had some pretty similar stuff happened. Every once in a while I'd get up and start walking down stairs, only to realize I was visualizing the whole thing (not dreaming, though).

Gahhhhh, I'm sooo rusty it's not even funny!! I'm so happy DEILDs can be performed on the spot, I must get my recall back up to par!

I had done this in the past without actually knowing anything about lucid dreaming. I had became lucid in a dream but woke myself up by accident and i wanted to get back in so i tried to do something that pretty much resembles a DEILD and it sort of worked. I began to feel like i was really there and i couldnt sense myself in my bed but everything was much less detailed and was fading to black and i eventually woke up again. Has this happened to anyone before? It may have been because i wasnt completely still. I also attempted this pretty late in the morning around 9AM.

Hey. I wanna get your opinion on something. I got SP again, but I'm not sure if it was in a dream or real life...

So I guess I woke up from a dream (not sure if FA or not). I was laying there when all of a sudden SP grabbed me. I was like "Hmmphh!" as it happened then I relaxed. I tried to snap myself out of it but then I stopped and figured I'd at least give it a chance. For a few moments I had the usual weird ringing noise or whatever but it slowed down and was pretty quiet actually. I listened for any scary sounds but there were none. I also remembered that despite my pitch-black view that it was daytime and if any scary things did appear it wouldn't be all that bad because the room would have been well-lit. Then my vision turned from black to a bit brighter and I felt myself slowly starting to spin left. I just relaxed and pretended I was spinning on something to help induce a dream. It was pretty fun actually. Then all of a sudden it stopped. I moved a little, opened my eyes, done a RC and I was awake.

It felt pretty real, but it's kinda odd how it just stopped out of nowhere, but I guess that's entirely possible. I also kinda forget what happened just before. But yeah, what do you think? I'm 50/50, maybe leaning more towards real though. Or at least I hope it was, because nothing scary happened at all and it was kinda fun when I just relaxed and let myself seemingly start moving around.
