Thread: Imagination

This is the main technique I use when I DEILD - I basically imagine I'm in a dream again, and visualize a scene, along with tactile and auditory sensations. The dream eventually cements itself around me. It's not new, per say, but it's a good method to use.

I do this sometimes, too. When I am trying something like DEILD or MILD, I will use the previous dream as a starting point. When I am doing something more like WILD, I will use whatever memory comes easy. Sometimes it will be a dream, other times a memory from life.

I've been able to get so many lucid dreams out of this as long as I become lucid in one.

I imagine objects, until they become more vivid.. And yes, this is my primary method.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the VILD technique?

It's similar, but it's not used with WILD, intead with DEILD.

DEILD is a form of WILD however, so yeah it is VILD right after waking up. In fact, DEILD is a WILD right after waking up. So it doens't really matters so long as it works.

Hm sounds good. its pretty cool because you can start the scenario where you like.

I was reading about WILD's and this was typed right into one of the tutorials. It's nothin new but I think it helps a lot
