Thanks mate, tell me how it goes!
I have jumped a little in and out but i thing its going alright.
I wake up calm and not stressed out i use the mantra " be calm i will be calm" (in another language).
It helps but i seem to forget what it is i am trying to do which is to deild and i feel groggy and like my previous dream have not ended yet. Not really aware that i woke up either since switching my mantra for laying still.
When i took a nap today at 11o clock i had a pretty vivid and intense dream just like earlier that night. It was like the dream had reached a point where i felt as i woke up laying in bed. I barely opened my eyes just to remember to keep them closed, right then as if a force dragged me up from bed back down and so on. The scene faded and i was in another dream until i woke up.
This awakening felt different from when i fully woke up in the end. I barely felt my body. Could this have been a transition into another dream right away or just a part of the dream all together?
The same transition tingie happned before but i have doubts....?
That sounds like a perfect indication of a transitional moment :)
The first time I experienced that, I had my first DEILD like a week later.
Sounds like you're definitely on the right track! Congratulations on achieving this, it's not an easy task.
Wow cool. :shadewink:
I was not sure if it was a dream or if i really woke up because i really culdnt tell. :?
And such quick transitions dont ever happen to me as i am aware of so its kinda... New.
But its getting better i think i just have to focus on finding more micro awakenings than 2-3 a night and visualization. :banana:
But i have a question: i think this was an astral projection, and in that case could you call that a deild induced dream? Or then was it just a step closer to the goal?
Astral projection?
Don't take offence to this, but I personally don't believe in AP.
However, in regards to your question about whether you had a lucid dream, it's hard to say. There's generally that grey area when people aren't sure, and to be honest I'm inclined to say 'no.' Simply because when you have your first proper lucid dream you go 'I had a lucid dream.' You KNOW when you've had one. If you get what I mean.
Although, you could have had a minor one. Try applying the events you experienced to the following criteria:
Were you conscious during your dream? Did you feel an aspect of control? Did you wake up feeling you'd had a lucid dream? Did you feel 'pumped' when you woke?
Hey, Howya doin down there... I been busy running around the country for a couple weeks..I really missed this place. I got a few fails into TOTM but it's been slow, It otter pick up now.....
Hey man, good to have you back!
Was wondering where you got off to. I hope your dreams pick up!
This place is funny, All my Achievements are missing and your green dot is too...
Dreamwise, (Shudder) I had the first nightmare in many years.....I gotta stop watching those Armageddon movies.
What was your nightmare about?
Armageddon I think, at night a very big house caught fire on a hill in the distance then spread to others then they collapsed into liquid fire and it flowed fast down the hill toward me like a burning tidal wave and as I backed away I tripped and fell backward into the void and then awake, Kinda scary.. :panic:Quote:

No idea mate.
The best thing I can do is direct you to the meta forum, where you should post a query.

I will try this out yuppie, and let you know how I go.
Thanks for sharing.
I wish you the best of luck man.Quote:

I'll keep trying for at least a month (every night).
''I WILL succeed'' :)
You can't expect miracles on your first shot!
Just ensure you're using the mantra's, and maintaining the positive attitude you've demonstrated.
I might give this method a go... heard many good things about it so far.
First step will by far be the hardest as I even struggle to wake up with an alarm during the night :P
Great and simple-ish guide to read!
Will do! :)Quote:

I felt as if, i had woken up earlier and failed, then when I succeeded the next time, I felt as if I never went to sleep.. Lol doh! (This happened multiple times this morning)
As you said in your tips, trust your self and that your mind will play tricks on you.
Mantras are very strong, I couldn't believe it was working within 1-2 nights (to keep my eyes closed as I awake)
I've been setting multiple alarms for after 6+ hours of sleep to give myself a few chances. If I'm getting not much success, I'll try without alarms.
Yeah, I find alarms are pretty disruptive..
I'm glad you appreciate mantra's, they're dope as fuck!
Your not wrong there!Quote:

One plus out of this morning session was that I hit sleep paralysis for the first time, ever. Wow what a trip that was, it was awesome.. I was hearing noises, tingly sensation and the visual was there a bit. I had my eyes open at one point and thought I should better close them.
My favorite part had to be the sensation of my head swaying side to side lol, now that was cool.
I broke sleep paralysis by swallowing unfortunately.. and didn't really need to swallow, I just wanted to see if I could. I kind of struggled to swallow as well.
Can you enter a dream with your eyes open while in sleep paralysis?
The whole thing was weird on how it happened. I'm sure I moved my arm, and kind of flopped it off of the pillow onto the bed, which bought on sleep paralysis.
My arm may have just flopped off by itself from the sleep paralysis kicking in maybe?
Might have to experiment with flopping my arm off of the bed/pillow from time to time, to hopefully bring on sleep paralysis.
Alarms wake me up..Quote:

If you have an iPhone/iPod touch, you can do this.Quote:

The reason for 20 min silent track is because the alarm on iPhone's are looped (it keeps repeating) but if you don't turn your alarm off it mutes itself after 10 or so mins. So when it reaches the 20 min mark and loops over to start from start, it'll be muted and won't wake you up ;)
I'm going to make a thread soon on how to do this, so if your interested let me know.
I didn't mention that I wake up every 90 minutes anyways...... :banana:
