Thread: Yuppie's DEILD guide - The easiest way to lucid dream.

Yuppie, Your'e late
Where's everybody else ?
Last night I made up for lost time and got a two page'r for the dream journal in and out of lucidity a dozen times or more including DEILD to boot and tonight as you can tell by the posting time (5:30am)that I'm paying for it.
Nothing is free.
I'll edit and add to that, Yesterday was warm and sunny and I got out to the woods and swamps and enjoyed the day and today was cold, windy and snowy which sucks and sleep and dreams did likewise reaffirming the huge part that environment plays in my dreams, Lucid or otherwise..

Wow, it sounds like the weather changes like crazy!
It's always pretty nice down under, but we're moving into 'colder weather' if you could call it that.
I apologise for the lame replies lately, I've just been awfully tired and busy.
Lots of work and school :C

Hooboy- This thing is dead lately. When I just looked there were 33 members online....... You cant tell me nobody dreams or sleeps anymore.

It's ridiculous
My view count goes up by around 500 per week, so there's people here.
It's probably just a whole tonne of lurkers.

Nah, Just saying, It has slowed down for some reason, Hopefully people will start dreaming again soon.
Truthfully my dreaming is going to pot mostly because of cabin fever. Maybe i'm not alone

Didn't you know? All the cool kids hang out on the SSILD thread now!!

What in the world is an SSILD

Senses
Inititated
Lucid
Dream

Darkmatters, that really hurts!
Tell them to come back to me.
I'll give them free shit!

Ha, I looked it up....That,s a soup thread, (It's got a little of everything in it)
I think Yuppie's is more fun......

Are not all dreams lucid or otherwise senses initiated ?

Thank you, Bill! ;3
Personally, I believe that both fronts are arguable.
Technically, I suppose WILD is more of an awareness indulgent technique, however your senses may be used in your favor to allow an easier process.
As are many other techniques, but you know, if it works, it works.
Like Bill often says, if you encourage your mind to be prone towards lucid's, by trawling the forums and such, it can go greatly in conjunction with any technique.
Long story short, I think it definitely aids in the induction of lucid dreams. However, I don't know if it's strong enough to be a stand alone.
I'm not putting it down, I'm happy that it's bringing people lucids. I mean, DEILD in itself is simply a variation of WILD, essentially.

My dream recall has gone up, even though I haven't started a DJ yet I think I will focus all my attention on DEILD now. Only after I wake up for the last time, I will set aside some time to focus on recalling dreams. This should be getting me some lucids in no time.
DEILD is, in my opinion, the best technique so far. It requires little preparation and it's really straightforward. Can't wait to go to bed now

Spy guy - I think it's interesting that you've explored an array of techniques, it's probably been incredibly beneficial for you.
Hopefully your recall is indeed up to scratch, before you start working on DEILD.
Tell me how it goes man, it's good to have you back!

my dream recall has become rubbish lately and my mantras dont seem to be working. what should i do? should i solely work on DR for this week or?
im also ill and really tired because of that, would that affect it in any way?

Sick and tired will cause your dreams to skid off the runway.
Best advice I can give is Moms Chicken Soup and get well..

Yeah, it's not too great to be DEILD-ing when you're sick.
It's very dependent on immediate physical action in the moment, rather than just a passive mental thing.
Obviously the whole process may be hampered by your illness.
So try to get better!

Also, as a general point for dream recall, make sure you're doing your mantra's correctly.
"I will remember my dreams" - Present tense, affirming your intentions, confidence, repeat it numerous times, make sure you're thinking about what this will accomplish.
When it comes to your journal especially, ensure that you're writing down every single thing you can recall.
As your memory advances, you'll probably only wish to write down the relevant chunks of your dreams; however for the time being, recording every single thing you can remember in great detail is an excellent way to improve your memory and recall. E.G, Did you touch anything? How did it feel? What'd she look like? What was around you at the time? What were you thinking? EVERYTHING. (You'll only have to do this for a short while, you'll be astounded at how quickly you'll improve)

Oh! Also, yes. Ideally you should be solely exercising your recall for the time being.
Just for a short period of time, then we'll get into the fun stuff!

I have been on fluff dry (dream wise) for a while too, Then last night out of nowhere I had two lucid's one after the other waking up completely slept out with no chance for a DEILD.
In the first, I planned on one redhead girl and got two and it was more than I could handle so I woke up from sleeping in a motor home I no longer own and changed a light bulb for a neighbor lady and said try it and it came on only as a dim blue glow and I said "I'll be damn'd, I'm still dreaming" and I was off again.
Tonight I cant even sleep. Sometimes I don't think there really are any rules

Maybe try exhausting yourself throughout the day, and being productive?
Surely that'll help you sleep ^.^

Whachew mene productive ? You mean WORK ? ....... Heaven forbid

You can't be an old fart all the time

What do you do in your time, anyway?!

Y'know how old fishermen swear a lot ?. Well, In the summer I spend my time fishing and I practice my swearing in the winter

Sometimes my recall sucks but sometimes its great too so I just put a decent one in the DJ for a change now that lurkers cant see it...
I passed up the chance to DEILD for an extensive recall and recording since this looked like a pretty good one.

Made for a good read!
Interesting choice with rappelling down, do you tend to do things the more realistic way in dreams?
Why not just fly down? Or is one more fun than the other to you?

Many years ago I learned not to dive thru clouds without first knowing whats down there
Nah, Really even in lucid dreams I tend not to change things if all is going well, I mean, If I had just jumped down there would be no real story except... "I Jumped Off A cliff And Survived"... if you get the idea..

ps: I see by your posting time of 00.30 tomorrow that you too are loading up on dream fodder before bed
