Hi, i have been trying Michael radugas indirect technique which is basically a Deild (from non lucid dreams) Although one needs to remain still upon awakenings for this to be successful, many times movement will occur and the deild will not work |

Hi Ezzo |

That sounds like a very good plan, Ezzo. I'm not seeing any bad logic and, since DEILD is a form of WILD anyway, those multiple techniques have a tendency to work nicely together. |
|
Hey Ezzo, I guess we are all different, but I have always struggled to make the technique you describe work. My theory as to why is that my natural awakening at the end of a sleep cycle is at the end of the period of REM, and the reason for waking is because my brain chemistry has shifted into that waking mode, and getting back to REM is almost impossible. On my few successful WILD attempts from that position, I have to wait about an hour for the next REM period to come round before it works. |

Hi guys, thanks for all the replys. I wake up naturally after about 4 hours each night and so I assume that i have completed 3 sleep cycles lasting about 1 hour and 10 mins each. As this wbtb is NOT the time to wild as I simply am creating an intention to fall back asleep and then perform a deild on the next awakening. As the wbtb was after 4 hours then the next awakening is going to be about 1 hour later which is bang in the middle of the rem. |

I watched the phase video. Very interesting! I get your point about not moving and going back into the dream. I am just starting to try that one. I do find it incredibly difficult to stay still just after I wake. I seem to always stretch and that kills the effect. |

I used the techniques from The Phase to get lucid my first time. Something about his techniques really seemed to work for me. I guess because he gives you an algorithm to perform with lots of contingencies and that's totally how my brain works. I'm interested in hearing about your future results from mixing WILD into the attempts. I think I'm going to start trying this too and see how it works. I just gotta remember to actually fall asleep and not put too much emphasis on trying to WILD or I'll be awake forever lol. |

I am currently attempting mixing the indirect techniques with SSILD instead of WILD, that way there is no staying awake for ages trying to Wild. I wbtb, then SSILD, then whenever i wake after that point i attemp the indirect techniques. Both SSILD and Michael Radugas ' indirect techniques' are touted as the most efficient highly reliable techniques for beginners and so this is where i am starting my journey |
|
I've been trying to get back into Raduga's indirect methods the last few nights. It's been several months since I thought about lucid dreaming though so it's going kinda slow. I did notice that trying to do these 2 techs in one night is just too much for me to focus on right now. I'm going to try a few weeks of the indirect tech only and if that goes well I'll gradually start adding contingencies to the mix like WILD, SSILD. |
|
Just a thought… I have found WBTB to be most effective if I am up at least a half an hour focusing on whatever technic I plan to use. |

“One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. Which road do I take? she asked. Where do you want to go? was his response. I don't know, Alice answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn't matter.”
Basically I go to bed around 10:30pm. It usually takes me 10-15mins to fall asleep. |
