Thread: Naiya's DILD & WILD Secrets

I have read posts which suggested focusing on my breathing and to not really concentrate on any HI. This hasn't exactly worked for me yet, so I might try it the other way around like you are suggesting.

This might be just me, but when I have tried WILDing in the past, focusing on my breathing kept me awake. Next time, I'm going to try using some white noise to help aid me into a WILD. It already works super well on helping me focus when I meditate (but it doesn't keep me awake, either ).

Yeah well whenever I focused on my breathing I could drift out and almost fall asleep. The noise of my breathing whenever I enter SP becomes all distorted and then fades out.

But good news is, during my sleep-in this morning I had a pretty cool dream, it ended and I didn't fully wake up (didn't open my eyes/move etc.) and I had my first lucid dream via DEILD.

Saw a random image of these masks floating about but they were kind of far away (tunnel-vision like Naiya said) so I focused on them - BAM. Instant lucid dream where I'm falling and it was so real. Woke up like 5 seconds later, though it made me feel great.

Grats!

I'm currently focusing on using DEILD as my main method for inducing lucids. I'm naturally pretty good at chaining dreams, but I've recently found out that 4 hours is way too early to wake up and attempt chaining, so i'm going to try after 6 hours as soon as I get the chance (hopefully this morning).

Good luck and I hope that you have much success with it.

I always get unlucky with setting alarms (body nearly always wakes me up a few minutes before it's about to go off) but it's a good thing that I remember waking out of dreams. DEILDs seem like a very good way to go and I didn't even mean to do it.
