With an alarm you want autosnooze (ideally, so you don't have to move) or minimal physical interaction (just shake it), just barely enough to wake you up enough to realize what's going on so you can grab some awareness and head right back into a dream, hopefully with lucidity intact. |

I recently had my first memorable lucid dream using this technique, so thanks yuppie! I have a question though... When you say in the guide that you feel like you might not be able to get back to sleep after waking up, what are you supposed to do? I'm a little confused on that. |
|
I'm not even entirely sure man. The guide was written years ago. |

I really can't wake up without moving. Seriously, it one of the hardest thing I've tried in my life. Please help I already have tried a mantra, but the results are never good. I've even taken up meditating. I don't know how people are able to wake up without moving within a couple of days. I once tried using DEILD for a month, but waking up right always prevents it from working. I've now taken up Deild again, but once again waking up completly still never works. |
|
I think waking up absolutely still is not a 100% requirement for DEILD, maintaining a sleepy/dreaming mindset is also very important. Who said anything learning to do this only taking "days?" I don't think anything in LDing can be sufficiently mastered in "days." Keep working on it, and you'll get better and better. Make sure you deeply feel it's *important* to you to notice your waking process and your brain's goal center will help you with reaching this goal. |

I've only had one DEILD, it was accidental, and it was one of the most vivid dreams I've ever had, I need to have more >_< But I can't seem to even wake up after a dream or during REM anymore, let alone wake up and stay still with eyes closed. I've only tried for 2-3 days so far though, so hoping my subconscious will get the idea to wake up during the night eventually. |
|
Well, like you've said, if you've been at it for 2 - 3 days, I definitely wouldn't seal your coffin just yet. |

Yeah I'll definitely keep trying. This morning I managed to wake up at least once, but I woke up and immediately moved and then a few seconds later realized I was supposed to lay still and try DEILD, lol. So it gets easier to wake up and remain unmoved the more you try it? |
|
Of course it does. Has your ability to walk improved since infancy? Can you cook better now than when you were twelve? |

Yep, you're right. This morning it happened again, haha, woke up but moved and then remembered that I wasn't supposed to. I'll give it a shot regardless of moving then. I still had a short DILD, it was probably because of the increased awareness due to waking up in the middle of the night, at least partially. Will keep it up, thanks for making the guide btw, it's great and simple to understand, especially nice that it reminded me that DEILD exists, lol. |
|
I'm having trouble remembering to stay still when I wake up. I have set up my alarm clock to auto-dismiss so I don't have to touch it but every time I wake up I move around immediately and only then do I recall my intention to DEILD... it's really frustrating. Can you give me some tips on how to remain calm and still as soon as you wake up and how to steer yourself into a lucid dream. Thanks! |
|
Maybe you could try waking up naturally? It sounds like the alarm is really prompting you to move around. |

I am using a simple mantra when I'm lying down trying to fall asleep. I have trouble falling asleep and it sometimes takes me over an hour, so should I keep saying it over and over in my mind until I fall asleep or does it not matter? |
|
Yeah, I can definitely say that continuing to practice is almost certainly going to allow you to break through your roadblock. |

So I managed to wake up naturally today and because I was so tired I did not move a muscle. I just let go and imagined myself drifting back to sleep, or more appropriately back into a dream. And sure enough I went back into the same dream I was having before I woke up. However, I did not become lucid despite having that intention. Guess I have to keep trying. |
