Thanks man :)
I'm only fifteen, so there aren't too many worries about cars, etc. :P
First day at school today was good, at least. Pretty boring!

Today when I woke up, I didn't move and open my eyes.
I was imagining the last scene from my dream, I had really weird sensations, like being sucked into something, loud noise I cannot remember, seeing something like a blurred fast road, my arms/legs moving, lol.
But they were fadding off pretty quickly. Every time I thought about the dream, I was getting these sensations again. I couldn't get into the dream, though. Maybe that's because it was morning and I couldn't get REM anymore?
Well, it actually kinda felt like I was in a dream, I felt being in a dream at 50%, but it was fading off. Weird.
How to practice to wake up motionless? I was repeating my mantra for like few days, and I stopped repeating it, but the effect is still working. I'm waking up few times a night, but I move :|
I wont have to worry long, Were forecast for -25 next month with howling winds and Lake effect snows when nobody is doing anything but staying home dreaming :) But for now getting ready for it sucks any dreams up like a whirlwind. I still dream but my recall has gone right out the window here, Rattz :P
MrOMG - Remain persistent with your mantra's.
If NOT, you should know that it's not vital that you remain perfectly motionless.
There's not much to be said, man. :P
Please tell me how it goes.
Bill - I love cold weather! I just pile myself under three blankets, and go to sleep.
I agree it stuffs up dreams though, I feel like being smothered by heat can have a negative impact on your dreams.
You know what to do about your recall brother, focus on it! :P
This mantra starts to be crazy... I stopped repeating it but I wake up like 5 times a night..
The more the better?
A multitude of opportunities for you to attempt DEILD?
What's the problem? :C
Well it's not that big problem, but first, I can't stay motionless after waking up, only if I get lucky. And second, it's easy to get back to sleep, but the night feels like it'll never end :D
Yuppie, I'm having a problem realising when I wake up after my dreams. I've tried saying a mantra something along the lines of "I realise I'm awake after every dream" but it doesn't seem to work for me.
That's quite strange, Santoryu.
Please remain persistent with your mantra's, and ensure you're really genuine in your repetitious requests.
Make sure that you're legitimately confident in your ability to do this!
May I suggest you change your mantra to "I am aware when I awake"?
Give this a shot, for a few more days. If it doesn't work, we'll figure it out from there.
Tell me how it goes, bro!
My suggestion is to get some nice theta binaural beats, listen to them, and after you feel extremely relaxed, just repeat the mantra few times. Not too much, because your brain is much more open to suggestions in theta brain waves.Quote:

They are 20 minutes, but when you listen to them, you feel so great you don't even want to think... :)
You could always try that :)
I've never had any success with binaural beats, but who knows?
There's no harm in trying!
I had two lucid dreams last night, and somewhat of a DEILD (I'm gonna count it) :D. I had woken up earlier that night with a sore throat, so I got up and went and got some water, and ate a bit of honey (which really helped), and then I went back to bed. Before I went to sleep I did SSILD. I had three other dreams before, and then one more where I was in a land like you might find in a Dr Seuss book, with a bit of realism. It was lush and beautiful, and I was up on top of these massive cliffs with a few friends, looking down upon a harbor with a boat and a deep blue sea. One of my friends could shape shift though, and she jumped off and changed into some type of bird, and then I was inspired to jump off, so I just jumped into the water. It felt real as I was falling though, very exhilarating, and then I hit the water and sunk down. As I slowed down, I became more aware of the dream atmosphere, and realized I was dreaming.
I felt myself waking up, so I decided to DEILD. I had been reading other DEILD tutorials and experiences, so I decided to try out something that I had seen a couple times. Instead of just visualizing, I actually moved as if I was in a dream. The first thought that came to my mind was when I saw a few eagles earlier in that dream, so I started 'moving' my arms like I was moving a pair of wings :fly: . Suddenly, it actually felt like I was moving a pair of wings, instead of just imagining it, and it felt like I went into a dive. Then, I felt myself waking up again, but I didn't actually wake up, but I woke up in a dream (non-lucid). As I leaned over to my bedside table, I saw the word state, and a voice whispered 'state', and I thought 'maybe it's trying to tell me that I am dreaming, so I did a reality check and sure enough I was dreaming. As I stood up though to stabilize the dream, my vision blurred, and I woke up, so maybe I DEILDed right at the end of a REM cycle.
You may say that since I wasn't lucid immediately after the DEILD it wasn't a DEILD, but just a DILD, but I'm going to say DEILD because I woke up and then transferred into another dream and became lucid after :D . I have a good feeling about this month now, and I'm excited for the lucid dreams to come ;)
I think we can count that as a DEILD. :)
That's an interesting idea, it sounds like it worked well for you!
I'm glad you caught yourself dreaming when you performed a reality check :P
One of the most frustrating things, can be 'waking up' and not realising you're in a dream. >.<
Anyway, I'm really happy for you man, you've come a long way, it's excellent what you've achieved.
Digging your new profile picture by the way.
This has to be a joke... lol.
When I was repeating my mantra to wake up motionless during the night, it indeed worked but I was waking up with eyes open.
Yesterday before sleep I repeated my mantra to wake up with eyes closed. It worked... but when I woke up my body started moving on its own LOL
Anyway I'm close :P
Hello. Thank you for the guide. I found it very effective. After applying the guide during my sleep last night, I successfully achieved full lucidity in a dream, albeit after several failed attempts where I couldn't fall back asleep after waking up from a dream. However, last night was my first ever attempt at deliberately inducing lucidity, so to succeed after one night is an achievement in itself. The guide was a great help. I will definitely be using this technique again and hope to refine it. Thank you for the guide.
I'm happy to hear that, Duke. :)
I'd love to hear of your future ventures, and your refinement process and decisions.
Also, I had a massive lucid dream today, and it was just amazing.
Like, holy shit was it good. I did some amazing shit :D
Every single time I have a non intentional lucid, I want to get back into lucid dreaming.
But, it's a time issue :(
Good DEILD this morning cat. So vivid I didnt need to record it right then and still remember it now.. It seems to be a matter of getting some good sleep first, Last night I actually got a nights sleep then an outside noise partly woke me and I said "Gotcha" and went on into a segmented 30 minute DEILD that started with an Indian girl in NY (Half naked savage) and ended getting my car down Willow Pass in CA but I had to wait for the garbage truck in front to let his down with straps first so I found another girl to pass the time with, Dreaming is the only way I know of to get from New York to California in five minutes :P......... :P
Hahahaha, if only real travel was that fast :P
Dream sex is hard to beat, I know of people who solely dedicate their lucidity to sexual intercourse.
But, with all the endless possibilities, it seems like a bit of a waste.
My post from another thread.......
"Agreed, My non-lucid sex dreams are far and away better than lucid sex and there's better uses for lucid's"
Yuppie, even with the mantra you suggested, I'm still not realising that I wake up after every dream. The only two times I've waken up during my sleep in these past few days have been 20 minutes before I had to get up and once around 4 hours after sleeping.

No. This method is incredibly bad. You won't even fall asleep, because you will need to go to bathroom every 5 minutes.Quote:

1. Repeat your mantra until your mind will start to wander. If it does, start repeating it again, and do it 3 times.
2. Use the reverse blinking technique to get into trance really fast. I'll explain it shortly here. Just get comfortable in your bed. Now, close your eyes, and open them every ~5 seconds for a really short period of time. So you are blinking but in reverse. After you feel that you're really relaxed, and it's hard for you to keep opening your eyes, just close them. When you close them, wait 10 seconds, and repeat your mantra few times. Or more. You don't need to repeat it much, because you're in theta state hopefully, and your brain is open to suggestions. :)
Have you actually tried it? It's a very good method and many people use it - you don't need to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes unless you have bladder problems. If you don't, then what happens is it takes your body hours to process the water before you begin feeling the pressure. It makes you wake up after just about 4 hours (me anyway) - at which point you hopefully remember some dreams and can now do a WBTB. I can either go to the bathroom or just remain lying still eyes closed and try to DEILD - no problem getting back to sleep and it doesn't bother me until next time I wake up a couple hours later.Quote:

Answer:
The time depends on the amount of water you already have in your body, the amount of water you drink, and how much urine the bladder is already holding when you drink the water. If you're dehydrated and you drink water, you can be sure the body won't throw it out because it needs the water. The kidneys filter between 750mls and a liter of water every hour, so if you're hydrated ok and you drink half a liter of water, you should need to go in less than an hour.
And yes, I've tried it. It doesn't work well, it's for lazy peoples that won't "waste" their time on auto suggestion. Instead they pour loads of water inside them, and expect magic to happen. Even if it works it wouldn't be cool to sleep with full bladder, because if you DEILD you can't even get up.
I'm using auto suggestion and I'm waking up 1-5 times a night.
I started out drinking water before bed, Then auto suggestion and once I became accustomed to waking up or almost so every 90 minutes I don't use anything anymore and most of the time wish it didn't work so well.
