When we start practicing LDing, the first step is usually to develop dream recall, which requires learning to ask what we were dreaming about in the very first moments after a natural awakening. This is specially effective if we stay still and keep the same position in which we woke up ( not a serious problem if we move though ).

The ability to stay still and relaxed after a natural awakening is also the most important skill in DEILD ( which is the less effortful induction technique i know ). Mastering this technique means multiple LDs every night, which is not very common and more difficult with other techniques. DEILD is also a sleep -friendly technique as you must focus on falling asleep.

So, specially for begginers, keep motivation to improve your dream journaling skills - specially that important "stay still and relaxed" step. Focus on it, and allow yourself to sleep

You maybe on the road to master DEILD and become a LD god

I know this is obvious to most people, but basics are so easily forgotten. And sorry if the title thread is somewhat misleading
