Was kind of busy in the past week. Not a lot of sleep, so not as much alert wakeups, but now it's time to get owning :P As for the 5 LD's earlier: I always have a hard time telling which method was the effective one, but it happened shortly after starting with DEILD, so it's sure to be a big part of the succes.
are'nt DEILD's and WILD's very similar? and what uf you wake up and move but then you remember and go back?
1. Yes, DEILD is an easier (or at least less time consuming) variation of WILD.
2. What? Like you forget at first, and then realise?
3. You stole my picture! :(
It is still possible to DEILD after you've realized you're awake, it's just a bit harder. The second the realization comes back, lie still, let your mind drift and experience the dream. I could say 'visualize it', but that isn't really the trick I think, really feel it rather than imagining the sensationQuote:

Durability of lucids doesn't have anything to do with the technique used to attain it, it has something to do with it's stabilityQuote:

sorry i am a wolf obsessor :) and i meant if i was trying to DEILD but i woke up and opened my eyes or got up but then realized, would it still work if i went back into position?Quote:

and how did you do this? (quote me back i really want to know)Quote:

Dream recall is getting better too!
Sounds good! Tell me how it works out :)
I tried to DEILD many times before but instead of success i get intense vibrations for a 10-20 sec after that they go away and then nothing.

The story behind that post was that I woke up at 8:30am and took a Galantamine pill then went back to sleep about 40 minutes later.
I'm not sure if the pill was the final decider in going lucid, but whatever the case shortly into my first dream I realised I was dreaming and almost immediately felt myself waking. In that sense, they were Lucid DEILD'; I knew I was about to wake up, prepared myself and lay still.
So while I'm afraid I can't shed too much light on how to initiate the first one, being aware of this technique gave me the greatest lucid dream I've ever had.
This happens alot to me, the vibrations come, and then I'm just left with blackness. However, this normally happens if I attempt a non - visual induction, as opposed to imagining a place. Are you visualising?Quote:

Yeah, the trick is to visualize the dream right after waking up. Don't just try to see it, also feel it etc. If you have really strong vibrations it often works to attempt to roll out of your body without using any muscles. This is often discribed as an OBE, but it is really the same thing as LD.Quote:

It is a tad irritating ;P Most of you're answers were pretty great, I just kind of feel depressed (not actual depression) when all the answers on my thread are answered, but that's alot of me being jelous as well aha ;3
Maybe if you put in your input after I answered? I kind of disagree with you there, it's what works for the individual. Alot of people find DEILD easier without visualisation, because they find visualising wakes them up to much. I'm the opposite, because I just fall straight asleep without visualisation ;P
To summarise Hamza, you need to find out what works for you. I suggest you try to DEILD without visualisation for a while, because it sounded like you were close. If you have no success after say, two weeks (which is really just fourteen attempts) then try visualising?
In that big recent 8 DEILD sequence, I actually had great success re-entering a number of times by feeling myself running. It would start out as just thinking of running, then grow to be slightly feeling myself running, then actually feel myself running, then be fully running in blackness, then fully running in a dreamscape. I don't know why I tried it- the thought just occurred to me so I went with it and found it very useful for really putting myself in the dream.
Yeah, it's something you can focus on to keep you aware, but at the same time, just gradually slide you into your dream. The first time I DEILDED, I focused on the sensation of flying in my backyard. Feeling the gravity pull be down, and being in an area that I knew well, really worked for me. The running, is an excellent idea! I'm looking forward to trying it :)
Thanks!
I don't know if it has been mentioned or not, but to perform DEILD successfuly, when you exit your dream, shift attention to one of your senses. And another thing. We all know that sleep is much lighter after about 6 - 7 hours of sleeping. So WBTB before DEILD is crucial.
Another wolf thief ;P
What is this?! :sniper:
Muahaha. Lookat my Join date. :P :DQuote:
