One day of this sparked a DILD for me.
So yesterday, I was at a friends birthday, and we went walking around and played a large game of hide and seek at a park, and since generally I am home or with one other person at most, I thought to myself about how in my dreams I am generally doing things I otherwise wouldn't be doing(like being in a large group of people idk), so I decided to give the beforehand, unsuccessful, reality check bit another shot. I knew I wasn't dreaming(because I analyzed my surroundings and asked myself how it is I got were I was), but the idea here was that, if I do reality checks when I am doing something unfamiliar, it's more likely to transfer to my dreams than doing reality checks during average day things(which I never do in dreams). Get the idea here? So last night, in my dream, I was walking along this street, and naturally I thought, "I should check my hands!" So I did, and my right hand was this strange, blurry, three fat fingered, paw thing, while my left had like seven fingers. I made the mistake of getting excited, so I tried to calm down, and look down at the ground to stabilize the dream, but everything except the corner of my right eye had already gone white, and I knew I was soon to wake up. Right then I did. Still though, that was the best progress I have had. At least this time I really held onto my consciousness. Next time I'll just have to stabilize quicker and keep chill :)
So the idea here is to do reality checks when your some were different, doing something different or even just something you rarely do, and to indefinitely question how you got there. With this I feel your results will be great and quick, like mine. In one night I successfully DILDed. Another thing! This helps because I'm sure like me, for a lot of you doing reality checks all the time can get old, and hard to remember to do(as well as becoming a habit, for which will do no good in a dream, you need to consciously decide to check your hands to gain lucidity.) so doing it only in these types of instances is clearly a better way about it anyhow! Hope this helps! :cheeky:
