Thanks for the guide! I'll keep at it.

That happens to me alot too!
I forgot to put that in there..

Thanks for the feedback!
This is a very good point, but as you said I find that doing that kind of makes you think to much, and concentrating to hard is a real let back, I find that just going back to your dream works fine. Why over complicate? Please do tell me how you go!

I think it will come with more practice though.

Are you visualising your last dream? That's a good place to start off with, so your mind doesn't have to create everything so your mid doesn't stimulate to much and wake you up more. Or somewhere you know well works too, like your backyard
Yeh, you just have to keep at it, it's only been a short period of time, you're making great progress! You've got the hardest bit down, you just have to work on entering your dream for here.
Don't give up! I need you to do this so I have proof this works
Great work so far!

I won't quit, don't worry

It worked on the first night I think another good method is to think of a place in advance. Otherwise you have to think about your earlier dream, which can be quite hard for people with a bad recall. Will try that out tonight too.

One morning, I was dreaming fully unconsciously, I went into a classroom, lied on a desk, and immediately, my eyes closed and I couldn't move (in the dream). I think I was able to feel my bed (not sure). I remember feeling the difficulty in moving. I was still not aware I was dreaming. I thought I was awake, but then I woke up.

This morning, I had another dream like this, but instead in a bed room. I could feel the bed, when I tried to move, I was unable. I even tried to shout. I was not to do that either. I then woke up. I know that I was dreaming, and I was not just normally awake and in paralysis (what normally happens), because in this dream, I slept with my head at the "top" part of the bed, and when I woke up (or got out of paralysis), my head was at the "bottom" part of the bed. It only seemed real.

Ah, DIELD. Last night I tried deilding, but when I went to focus on my last dream I couldn't concentrate. I was really tired, then would up moving a bit.

I read this, and I thought "Wow this looks much easier than the CAT method".
The problem with the CAT method for me is that I switch between parents houses, and have to get up a different times.

Now this...This is good.

I really want to start having lucid dreams because it would be amazing to just be free, and do whatever.

I had a question. So your guide says when you wake up from your dream try and stay still with your eyes closed, etc. etc. How are we supposed to wake up from our dream? I found a calculator on the internet and it says I should fall asleep around 10:00 which is perfect for me. How do I wake up though? Should I use an alarm to wake up? If so, what time should I set it for if I go to bed at 10 PM?

Everyone wakes up naturally between every dream, however you usually fall back asleep within seconds and don't remember waking up anymore at all. That is very normal. Strongly setting the intention before you sleep (the intention of recognizing yourself waking up and then performing this technique) is enough to make you have 1 or more 'concious' awakenings per night. It could take a few days to settle, but remember that you already wake up multiple times per night. You only need to recognize it.

hey ive just started trying to LD haven't had one yet but its only been three days and i have had pretty good dream recall in that time. im a little bit muddled as to what technique i should use to start having LD's successfully? thanks a lot

Well, you can pretty much start with anything Techniques I personally like are the one discribed in this thread and All Day Awareness, but there is a lot of other stuff to try out too. The only thing that I do need to tell you is that when you try a technique, try it AT LEAST for two weeks. Techniques often take a while to take effect, and otherwise you might discard a technique that actually works great with you. And confidence ofcourse. You WILL succeed, it is only a matter of dedication and time. Good luck!

I have noticed the past few nights, since I have learned about this, It seems I have been waking up periodically during the night, and recognizing that I have been knowing that I was awake.

Huge succes last night, FIVE LD's! My stabilization was unsuccesful and they looked like a minecraft world with only the ground, but that can be worked on The technique works wonders!

Dude thats sweet! Minecraft is awesome. Once I am part of the forums for seven days, in my signature one of my goals will be to be in a minecraft world. I haven't had any chances these past couple days to try out this method, but I guess I need to work on my dream recall first... Then again, I only learned of this about four days ago.

Another thing I noticed. When I was really tired at 12:00 a.m. last night, once I fell asleep (I don't know how to say this) I didn't wake up. I know that you wake up periodically, but I don't know how to describe what it seems sleeping all the way through the night.

Hey guys! Sorrry I haven't been able to post, I was on holidays at sydney, It was great!
Thanks for your help spy guy!
I'm still obviously happy to post and answer questions! Or feel free to PM me
Great work spyman! Was that using DEILD?

One morning, I was dreaming fully unconsciously, I went into a classroom, lied on a desk, and immediately, my eyes closed and I couldn't move (in the dream). I think I was able to feel my bed (not sure). I remember feeling the difficulty in moving. I was still not aware I was dreaming. I thought I was awake, but then I woke up.

It only seemed real.

Can anyone explain this?

I don't really understand what you're saying?
You were in a dream, and you couldn't move? It just sounds like a weird dream we all get...
You weren't in paralysis, you were just dreaming.
So if the following is what you are trying to say: You dreamt you were in sleep paralysis, but you weren't aware you were dreaming, because you thought it was real life..
And then you woke up for real. What were you wondering about? Alot of us have dreams like that, it's no big deal.

Yuppie, this is terrific. I've had a hard time remembering not to move when I awake (often I start moving before I realize I'm awake), so I'm going to put your tutorial to use -- tonight. I'll let you know how it goes. Many thanks!

Cheers! Please do let me know how it goes! All the best luck, and don't give up if you don't get there the first time
It may take a few trys!

Last night was successful for me! I repeated the mantra "I will be aware when I awake" and "I will know when I awake" over in my head, and thought about what it means. The trick was that I had to think about it, not just repeat the words over and over . I woke up multiple times throughout the night, and was aware.

One time I even woke up, but with my eyes closed, and I wasn't moving so I tried your DEILD method. I didn't really have a dream to go off of though because I didn't remember what my dream was before. I have been working on my dream journal though, and currently remember about two dreams a night. I am not disappointed though because that mantra worked for me, and now I will start moving towards waking up still and with my eyes closed, and after that a successful LD.

Thanks for this!

I had one recently! It was totally rad. I was just digging in some normal dirt and BAM! Suddenly there's blocks everywhere and I was on an island in the sky with blocky T-Rexes!

On another note, nice tute Yuppie- I'm working on MILD and COBRA at the moment, but I'll try and work this if I manage to wake up from a lucid prepared for it.

Sounds good
Thanks!

Woah! So I was just checking this thread for updates and totally remembered that last night I successfully woke a couple of times without opening my eyes! I might even have had a false awakening without realising now that I think about it...

Definitely going to keep this one at the forefront!

Don't stop your other techniuqes, youe spend more time on the previous ones, give them at least a month before you dump them. I hate to say this, because I'd prefer people using my techniuqe, but you have to try a method properly first, switching around every few days gets you no where.
