Was this a form of DEILD because it kind of worked for me and thats one of the closest to a LD ive been, and wth was that "tingeling sensation"? i would really apprechiate if somebody responded, thanks

Hey JoshGoldie! Let me start off by saying having your first lucid dream in just two weeks is amazing! And it's normal to wake up in excitement, your first time, this happend to me, and undoubtedly many others
This is a great effort also, for such a short period of time, it loks like you're going to be a natural!
I'd say this was more of an attempted DEILD, to be frank, you didn't succesfully ENTER the dream, but it's still a great first attempt. I suggest waiting a bit longer next time, before stabalizing. You'll know for sure when it's time. As for the tingling sensation, we normally experience hallucinations when we try DILD, or WILD (which is a variation of DEILD)
Because we're in such sleep, hazy states. It's completely natural
Good luck! If you have any questions please ask, you're doing great!

I have also been able to wake up from bad dreams since I was a kid. I wonder if that is some kind of "Lucid Dreaming" where you know you are dreaming, and you are able to wake yourself up or something? Anyways, the tingling sensation is just Sleep Paralysis which always happens every night, but we are just asleep, so people usually don't ever feel it. That is the amazing thing about this; you get to experience things that only a small handful of people get to experience ever. I saw a statistic somewhere that said only 100,000 people in the US are capable of Lucid Dreaming. There are about 300,000,000 people in the United States so that is a very, very small fraction. I keep getting off track . Trust me, getting excited in your dreams will be a habit that will go away fast, unless you get excited really easy. In my second Lucid Dream (My last one I have had) I didn't even get excited at all. It didn't mean I wasn't excited to be dreaming, I just didn't get really excited like I did in my first LD. You got further than me on your first DEILD attempt! I didn't get to falling back asleep quite yet. Like what yuppie said, wait until you are in your dream to stabilize, etc. I find that when I tried to WILD and the two times I have been able to try to DEILD, I found the tingle sensation awesome! I also was able to attempt to DEILD last night, but I only got as far as I did my first time where I was tingling (Still finding that balance!). Its very good that you were able to start reentering your dream on your first try. Anyways, good luck! I'm sure that your second Lucid Dream is coming very soon because my second came about five days after my first one. Good luck with LDing and DEILDing, and I hope that you are very successful!

Uggg. I just got sick Sunday, and it sucks. My dream recall currently is a couple words from my dream. No visuals, nothing, just words. When I wake up at night, I can't attempt to DEILD because my throat hurts and I start coughing. I guess I will have to wait until I get better for more dreams .

Hey DragonMaster, do you still use the mantra "I will remember my dreams" when attempting to DEILD?
Just wondering. Seems like your getting good results.

Hi! I do still use the mantra, but not really for attempting to DEILD. I guess that thats a part of it, I just say that to myself when I go to bed. When I remember my dreams, I almost 100% wake up in the perfect position to DEILD. I haven't been able to remember much dreams lately though, I just have been sick D: and my dream recall is terrible at the moment. I need to improve it . How is DEILDing going for you?

Thanks for asking, but not that great. I've not been waking up at good times. But when I do, I always move instantly!
Haha yeah my recall is not that great, either.
Oh well I'll try a different mantra tonight and post my results

Ya, what I did was use the original mantras that yuppie had first suggested "I will be aware when I wake up from a dream", which led me to waking up during the night. Once I got that, I used the mantra "I will completely stay still with my eyes closed when I wake up", which didn't ever work. I decided then that I needed to work on my recall, so the first night I did that, I was waking up perfectly still with my eyes closed.

Also, come up with a mantra that works for you. Combine ones that you think of, ones that you get as suggestions, and ones that you just find around. If anything will work, its creating a mantra that fits comfortably in your brain and allows you to think about it, but without keeping yourself awake. For example a mantra that I first tried using was "I will be aware when I awake from a dream" which isn't much different from my current one, but I found that having the aware and awake in one sentence was hard to repeat in my mind so I changed it to something more smooth "I will be aware when I wake up from a dream".

Yeah, I found that hard too, also whenever I repeat a long mantra. I just can't think straight
But thanks for your suggestion! I'll try that, and think of some today.

The lying still is just really tough. Once you're through that it's easy. I'm still getting myself to lie still, but I always wake up with my ear folded, or my hand in some odd uncomfortable position, and then I just can't stay still I'm certain that we can all do it though!

My problem is that my recall hates me. I feel like it decided I was too boring, so it packed up its bags and now its gone...

I'm going to try something that helped me DILD. I will have a rubber band, and every 30ish minutes, I will snap it against my wrist, and say "I will remember my dreams". I believe that that will help because it will keep me having the desire to remember my dreams throughout the day.

Still no recall . I'm trying to improve it though.

When remembering dreams, really focus on remembering details, not so much on writing them down. This will get your recall up very quikly. For example, if you saw someone ride a bike, really stretch your brain to see if you remember seeing the wheels move, what colour the bike was, the person's haircut, the clothes he/she wore, etc.

Alright, thanks for the thoughts, and I see how that would work. Last night, I remembered 4 or 5 dreams, that were just fragments, but I still remembered them. Upon waking, I stretched my mind to remember details, and I remembered that one of my dreams even took place in my room.

Nice, I've been doing it for 2 days as well, and the vividness is starting to increase again. By stretching your brain over them really badly you uncionciously take note that it is highly important, so you will pay more attention to your dreams to remember the details more easily. Same way your body creates muscles in places that have to apply a lot of force. Naturally, when paying more attention to the dreams while you're in them, you become lucid more easily.

Cool.

Has anyone had any success lately with DEILDing? I obviously haven't because I haven't been remembering dreams .

Yeah, I haven't. My focus for now has been more on WILDing.

Well, I managed to lay completely still this morning, but I didn't make it into a dream. No other succes. It might just be the dryspell though. I haven't had any DILDs in a while either, which is extremely weird for me

Good job in staying still. I haven't had any DILD's in a while, but I have been getting my recall back.

Hey guys, sorry for the no replies.
You're all aware of the hacking and stuff, Didn't know the url

Ah, well its good that your back. I haven't got a DEILD yet, because my recall hasn't been so strong, but I'm building it up right now, and I still am waking up in the perfect position for a DEILD.

Welcome back indeed! I'm still typing .com instead of .org every day xD I'm on a dryspell and have decided to focus on my DILD first, and then proceed with DEILD when it's back up. Rather do 1 thing good than fail at 2 things at once

Hahaha, favourites for me ;3
Agreed, my ld went way down while this site was gone

Once again, thanks for the immense support guys ;D
