FILD finger position?

[nasson]

Hey there everyone, I've been doing a bit of research on FILD in the past few days and I understand most steps that I have to do. However, one thing I can't quite figure out is if I need to keep both fingers touching my bed and just press down on my mattress, or if I need to lift one finger up incredibly gently off the bed whilst the other pushes down. If anyone could help, I'd much appreciate it!

Hi Nasson, I haven't had a lucid dream yet, but recently I have been trying FILD. I say go with your first option. Keep both fingers touching the bed, but just alternate applying pressure. I find that if you lift your fingers off of the bed, the effort needed to do that keeps you too awake to fall asleep quickly. I hope you found this helpful! By the way, this is my first ever reply on dreamviews (I got it yesterday), so bare with me if I'm doing something wrong. ALSO, would you mind if you Private Messaged me when/if your FILD method works? I want to know what you did succesfully so that I can copy it lol.
