Thread: i CAN"T DEILD ....i dont wake up ...help!!!!

You could try Autosuggestion.

Hello forestdreamer. Benzoe is correct, autosuggestion would be helpful. However, if you're a little more impatient, you could try a few other methods:

DV's DEILD Tutorial

Since DEILD relies on your ability to wake up as a dream ends, you obviously need to be able to do this on a regular basis. Many people wake up briefly after each dream already, but are unaware of it. There a few ways to become aware of these awakenings.

Some people use an alarm of some kind to wake them up during the night. A vibrating cell phone can be used, too. You will need an alarm that turns itself off after a few seconds. The shorter the duration of the alarm the better, as you don't want it to disturb you too much. Set it to go off after between 3-6 hours of sleep. You'll have to experiment to find the best time for you. If you want, you can also set it to go off every half hour after that, to give you a greater chance of waking from a dream.

Some people train themselves to recognize the look of their closed eyes, because this will signal that they have just woken up. To do this close your eyes while going to sleep for the night. Spend about a minute looking at the backs of your eyelids. Over time you should start to instantly recognize, even when groggy and half-awake, that your eyes are closed and that is a signal that you have just woken from a dream.

If you don't like the idea of an alarm waking you up you can try going to bed a couple of hours early. Many people find this causes them to wake up during the night more than they normally do.

You could also use a similar method described in this thread. Try a couple of these methods out and see what works well for you! Good luck.

Try going to bed much earlier than you use to.

thank you guys

Autosuggestion and practice. Remind yourself in the morning not to move an inch.. practice practice.
