I believe that it is aimed to be at the end of a REM cycle, so you can directly enter another one. Also, I saw somewhere that when you wake up during a REM cycle, you are generally pretty groggy, or at least more-so than in between. |

so ive been trying to DIELD for the past few days and have high hopes for it, but what i dont get is how it works, because when you attempt DIELD you are meant to do it as soon as you wake up from a dream and then attempt the technique, but wouldn't that mean that your REM cycle has ended? so if you go back in to a lucid dream after waking up wont it be groggy and unclear and you are just starting a new cycle? |

I do not know the answer, but you should definitely try the technique a bit longer. I would recommend a month or so before giving up or changing it too much. |

To my understanding, when attempting a DEILD, it does not necessarily end your REM period. When you dream, as you probably know, you are in sleep paralysis. When you wake up to DEILD, you are supposed to remain completely still, and not move. The reason for this, is so that you can very easily and quickly enter back into sleep paralysis, within a matter of seconds. When attempting to DEILD, you are also supposed to think about the dream that you just came out of as well, so that you drift right back into the dream. |

Wake up in middle of night. Don't move. Fall back asleep. Maintain awareness. One of the easier and more effective techniques in my opinion. |

Peter piper picked your pecker.... wait that's not right.
i didnt plan on giving up on it, it has actually produced some interesting results so far. I will defiantly keep practicing this technique |

Yes, ber5897 has it generally right. Timing doesn't really matter. |
