Bill - Man, having a recorder sounds like an excellent way to alleviate the problem that DEILD can bring with dream recall.
Bella - That sounds great, tell me how it goes! :)

Yay. I woke up twice last night by using 'I am aware when I awake' so I think I'll start trying a mantra for staying still when I wake up tonight because both times I woke up last night I rolled over xD I also remembered 3 dreams ^^ Hopefully I can start DEILD'n' soon.
Hello folks again.. :)
I was to busy for trying anything, so finally i got some free time.. starting from tonight DEILD and i hope i will do somthing :D Cya
Mantra's seem to be working well for my recall again, but they still don't seem to be able to work when I try be aware straight after a dream.
The first demon I met put a curse on me :P..... In doing recall I generally lose the ability to DEILD after. Or in DEILD I lose the original dream unless it's a continuation and I get lucky and recall the whole thing. Seems I cant have both recall and DEILD out of the same sleep cycle . (at least for now)Quote:

Man Deild seems pretty easy and very straightforward but I just can't seem to stay still when I wake up, so probably going to try Deild and see how it goes, awesome guide though
You guys ALL have to learn to walk before you can run.
Build up the basics before you attempt to DEILD.
If you're having trouble with anything please consult me!
However, it's a time process, I'm you'll all be okay! :D
Tell me how you go!
Ok..last night i have lucky with natural waking two times..now i dont have problem with staying still with eyes closed piece of cake :D Now i have another problem when i stay still and all that staff.. i relax a bit and trying to think about last dream but nothing happens tottaly blackness..i have radio play all night maybe is that problem? but i can not sleep without music :D I will try water method drinking before bed and set it 30,40 min later to hit REM
Try not to think, but imagine totally!
You want to fully think about your dream, how did it look, smell, taste, feel, everything.
You want your brain to believe that you're dreaming, and allow your awareness to drift in with it.
Somehow I knew Yuppie would be here now.
Hes right of course about getting the basics.
Azoller signed on here a month after I did and should have a lucid count way up there, Somethings wrong...
Waking up multiple times a night may not be a good idea if you're going to school or work and waking up with what you need to do the next day on your mind lucid dreaming will be right out the window, Maybe better to keep the dead reckoning (Dream recall and Journal) when you wake up normally in the morning and save lucid dreaming for the weekend. If you wake up and start thinking about anything else your short term memory will clear out instantly to make room for more important stuff. Any chance of a DEILD will go with it...
The mind and a computer are very alike right down to the last byte. It has a small short term memory (RAM) And a long term memory (Hard disk) and like turning off the computer what is not stored on the long term is deleted.
People who depend on Lucid dreaming for a reason like solving a problem will wake up with the results of the dream first on their mind and so it will be kept.
The short term is so small that it will trash anything not important to make room for coming events/.
Music don't seem like a good idea at least for me. An alarm is for waking up to get ready for a lucid dream by getting up, Motivate for 40 minutes while planning a dream then going back to sleep but don't expect to recall much of a dream waking up to an alarm that's telling you its time to go to work.
I don't have much to say apart from 'follow Bill's advice.'
You guys are doing well though, just follow the steps, and identify any problems you may be having.
I'd be more than happy to help with any of them :)
I hope you guys don't think that I'm trying to palm you off, or being lazy.
The thing is, you just need to establish your faults before you blindly ask for advice.
This is the best path in learning how to DEILD!
I just cannot seem to be aware that I wake up after my dreams for some reason. I've been trying a mantra for it and really believing that I will be aware, but it just doesn't seem to happen. As soon as I can get the whole being aware after every dream done, I'm pretty sure a DEILD will follow soon.
Maybe knowing that you DO indeed wake up several times per night will allow you to succeed.
I mean, think of it like this: You're not making yourself wake up, you're merely noticing when you DO.
You're not creating a gun, you're just pulling the trigger.
The only thing you need to accomplish, is remembering and noticing when you wake up.
It's a very simple task, so don't let your results tell you otherwise. :)
Make sure you're keeping your dream journal active, as you're not practicing DEILD as of yet, this may also put a higher importance on noticing your awakenings.
So ensure that you update your dream journal every time you wake up, and go to bed with the certainty that you will awake and journal down your dreams, which will perhaps exclude the pressure you're putting on yourself. Give it a shot, and tell me how you go! :)
Maybe you've got too much overload..Don't worry about waking up after every dream and concentrate your mantra effort on staying still when you wake up normally in the morning and then concentrate on a first DEILD from there,.....Just saying :PQuote:

Sooner or later with recall in place you will have a lucid dream. Your mind will conjure up something that simply cannot exist like a spotted crocodile standing on a corner eating sweet corn and you will laugh and say "This has got to be a dream" And from there on in it's pretty much all down hill but maybe I can help speed it up a bit. I don't like posting links on here because they're someone else's work and not my own, But there are exceptions !
Download this Youtube link as an mp3 or phone app and use headphones to go to sleep with it..
Sleep Hypnosis Lucid Dreaming for Beginners - YouTube
Even with hundreds of lucid's I still use this when I have trouble sleeping or lucid dreaming.
It will work if you want it to.
We want to see a real number up there soon :P
Wait.... so this isn't normal?!Quote:

Yay.....Yuppie and whoever else, You can take your username off Google Search by going to dream journal preferences and un-checking Guests in who may view it :)
So far it completely removed my username from Goooogle search and Yahoo search kept the name but redirects to a log in page dead end.
I confirmed that, Bill! :)
A Google search of your username will yield nothing.
Now I find out how a time change affects dreams, And "Spring" Lately my dreams have been off track no matter the planning.. My past has been haunting my dreams (so don't get a wild past)
Back in the day I fell in with a wild bunch and all I come up with lately is violence in my dreams and it's kinda pissing me off, Hopefully Spring and back into the swamps will change all that.:P
Hey, I've been over here :P
I have been trying their task of the month. The hardest one, "Leave Yourself A Note And Find It In A Dream"
So far it's a total flop, In LD Non-LD and Deild..
Last night I woke still 3 times after dreaming. I never got into a DEILD, though. I woke up and thought about the dream I came out of for 5 or 10 minutes before moving. I don't know what I did wrong.
BillyBoy - Try to fully immerse yourself in every last detail of your dream.
Hopefully, this will enable you to successfully transition into your lucid dream.
However, if you're experiencing difficulty with falling back to sleep, make sure you're not burdening yourself with such an immense desire to DEILD that you're putting yourself off. The best way to take it is just to relax, and make sure you're concentrating! :)
Tell me how it goes
Adding on a few things of immersing yourself :)
Immerse yourself in all five senses. Imagine what you can hear, smell, feel, taste, and touch. Imagine movement. Maybe in your last dream you woke up riding a bike or sky-diving. Imagine what that last activity felt like, and recreate it in your mind! Good luck :)
Sometimes, As a last resort I use this method. Try for recall, If there's is nothing to be gained by continuing to try just ditch it, Concentrate on Lucid Dream, Nothing else, Just those two words. Look for the blackness and welcome it, Concentrate on Lucid Dream, Force it. Usually the blackness lasts only a few minutes and "Pop" Your'e in a lucid dream. It's usually potluck and usually short, It may or may not continue the last dream but at least it is something.. :P
