For the past few days, I have been trying to DEILD. I am really interested in learning to DEILD, and I feel like it would be an awesome technique when I get it down. I just have a few questions though, because I feel like not very many people talk about DEILDing on here, compared to many of the other techniques.

Well before I ask you my question, I will tell you a little bit about where I am right now. I have been trying to lucid dream for almost a month now (I think). I have tried many different techniques, but haven't stuck to one method for a long period of time. I think this is why I haven't had any success with any specific technique yet. Anyways, I have decided that I am going to stick with trying to DEILD for a few weeks to a month. I am hoping it goes well.

So far, I have tried to DEILD only a few times. Maybe ~8 times? (I am really not sure). It isn't that much, I know. I am going to keep at it. Anyways, I am pretty sure that I usually wake up during a dream. I have no troubles with staying completely still when I wake up. Some people have told me that it doesn't matter if you stay still or not, just to get comfortable. I have tried both ways, just experimenting.
What I usually do, is that when I wake up from a dream, I try to think about the last "scene" of the dream that I remember. I try to think of it while I fall back asleep. I get the same results pretty much every time. I either fall back asleep into the dream, but not lucid, or I fall back asleep, and I have a totally different dream.

So now that you know exactly what I have been doing, here are my questions.
1. When attempting DEILD, what exactly are you supposed to think/do with your mind? Are you supposed to try to fall back asleep, or are you supposed to try to stay awake while thinking of the dream you just exited? Are you supposed to do techniques like you would with a WILD, like counting, etc.? What exactly should I think/do?

2. What are your personal opinions on whether you should try to stay completely still, or just get comfortable?


Thanks for your help!
