Hey guys, I was trying this last night and I think it worked. I had an amazingly vivid dream, woke up with eyes closed, and I chained another dream to the first one. I very vaguely remember being lucid at the beginning of the 'new' dream. More practice and it might actually work all out for me :)
That's good GibsoNorth. :) Great progress. I myself am trying out DEILD again tonight, wish me luck! :D
Will post results in the morning.
Excellent results man, was this your first attempt? Thats an outstanding result :)
Good luck Sydney, tell me how it goes!
I think I'm getting back into this as well! Let's get LDing again. My dryspell is now officially over, the only thing that keeps me from LDing every night are mind blocks. I won't need to surpass them tonight. I already have by realizing this
I had a WBTB/WILD set for 4 hours and 45 minutes after I first went to sleep, so I really didn't wake up in between there (I used a mantra before going to sleep). Then I slept all the way until I heard my mom come up the stairs. This made me awake but I never moved or opened my eyes! I didn't really feel anything except heavy limbs and numbness. Then when she came into my room and told me goodbye because she was going to work, I just had to move and tell her bye as well. Didn't want to be rude ;)
Definetly trying this again tonight. Any mantras you think would be good? Last night I did, "I will wake up after my dreams and lay still." That one is kinda complicating itself in my head, and for some reason I just stopped repeating it lol.
Spyguy - Coolies! Tell me how it goes :)
Syd - Hahahah, nice ;)
I never have that problem, mum seems to just leave ;P
I personally use "I will stay still when I awake" or "I will remain concious when I fall asleep"
It really depends what I'm struggling with - get me?
If I can't stay still, I'll go with that, or if I can stay still but I just fall back to sleep, I go with the latter.
Good luck! Report back here :)
No succes so far, but I can't recall waking up either. My dream vividness is going back up thanks to my active ADA practice though :D Will be back to pro level in no time. I'm starting to think I am not in the middle of a dryspell, but that I didn't put in enough effort.
I almost had a DEILD last night! But instead I had an FA..
If you haven't seen this technique yet, check it out here:

It's called SSILD. I had great results on my first try! :)
I had a couple of DEILD's last night, couldn't move though, it was like a FA, but it wouldn't let me move -.-
I need to work on my recall, but it's so dificult with work and shizz -.-
Great guide, I like technique as I had some LD's this way, I will continue to practice it.
Thank you! :)
Sounds good ;C
Me too. My recall is not good D:. Thats why I haven't made any progress on this because I have no recall... My last LD was two months ago, which was only my second...Quote:

THat is the main negative of this technique, my only suggestion would be to give this a rest, and work on your recall. Try MILD and mantra's, for a bit of a change for an ld, whilst you work on your dj'ing
I did succeed on laying completely still. But I had just awoken from a nightmare (the first one in ages), and it scared the crap out of me. I knew it had been a dream, but somehow I continued being scared, so I couldn't relax enough to actually succeed. But my dream vividness is increasing, thanks to more focus on ADA during daytime. Laying still for DEILD is also getting more and more succesful. If I keep going like this, I'll be back at LD-pro level within a week :D
Sounds good, great work :)
Yeah, I'm never to keen on DEILD-ing into nightmares.
I normally think of an alternate dreamscape if that happens.
Ok, I will try that. My recall is going up, as I remembered 2 dream fragments and I believe an entire dream last night. Im also, like Spyguy has been doing, am going to try ADA because when I did try it was around I had my two LD's.Quote:

Kidding, yeah, sure :)
Good luck, come visit my guide, any time! :)
Thanks man! Three DEILDs in one night. short ones, but still. It was like I was aware all night! Wow.
Good luck!Quote:

And yeh, DEILD seems to spawn really vivid dreams :)
Good luck!
I do, but the dream journal is on paper and in Finnish, the dreams weren't that long either :D one was something like this though:
I was attempting to DEILD, and I realized that in some point I was watching my gf's room trough the REM dreamer. I saw the outlines of the sleepmask in the corner of my eyes a and heard some cool electronic music being played at the same time. I suddenly realized that this isn't right! I am dreaming! ...only to wake up soon after.
I noticed one interesting thing though. I seem to be particularly susceptible to the effects of placebo (I read about people hearing music in their dreams and I started to hear music, the very next night). Maybe I can use the placebo for my advantage somehow?
That's not actually placebo, but nevertheless, I guess if you find a practical, effective and simple way to incorporate that into a technique, why not?!
