Autosuggestion and REM

[CloudOFmichael]

HI!!!!!!!!!! Waking up for DEILD via auto-suggestion comes naturally to me but when I wake up after a dream, am I in the middle of my REM cycle or at the very end of it?

"...A DEILD is basically a shortened version of the WILD technique. It is a powerful technique as it has the potential to allow you have multiple lucid dreams each night. DEILD is also sometimes called ‘Dream Chaining’. When you first awaken from a dream, your brain remains in its REM sleep phase for a few moments. This actually happens to you after almost every dream throughout the night, only usually you slip straight back asleep so don’t remember waking up. The brain only turns off the REM sleep phase once you start to move, so providing you stay still you can keep your brain in ‘dream mode’. In this state you can easily slip back into a dream without having to go through the tricky and time consuming stage of entering sleep paralysis as in a traditional WILD. ..."

yeah it's the end of REM, that's when you naturally wake up from dreams but you don't notice it

Not necessarily. As stated in my prev post - read it again Well, both your answers will have the same outcome... You need to get RIGHT back into a dream once you wake up. Thank you both

Not necessarily. As stated in my prev post - read it again I did read it, i just wrote my post with odd wording,i think. The brief awakenings after dreams are ones we don't remember because we are barely conscious so we fall asleep very quickly after, that's what i meant haha
