Attaining lucidity after waking up shortly

Hello everyone, I want to share my latest LD experience with you to see if anyone has done the same

So I was dreaming about my dad going to live to Canada, I was very mad when he was telling this to me.
Suddenly the scene became blurry and I started to wake up, the dream scene faded away slowly... this made me realize it was a dream and that I was about to wake up. When I noticed this I tried to focus on the dream, I paid special attention to my dad's face and voice, it was hard! It started being more a daydream than an actual dream... after maybe a minute I fell asleep again. I could not see anything but blackness but my dad's voice was still in the background, by this point I was lucid.
Then, the voice faded away and a completely new dream scene appeared... I explored a bit, the dream was short but it was a cool experience

Has anyone used a similar method to induce LD?

Hey jzinser,

This is actually a fairly common method called Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream (DEILD). It's generally defined as waking up, remaining completely still, and then drifting back into another dream (possibly even the same dream scene) while remaining lucid. It's a good way to chain lucid dreams - that is, to string multiple lucid dreams together for an extended period of time.

You can read more about purposefully inducing DEILD here: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...cid-dream.html

Cool, I had never read about that technique (at least I don't remember such thing) but it seemed like a good idea at the moment

Thanks for your response spellbee2

Spellbee's right, it's a well-known technique. It's really awesome that you've discovered it by yourself, keep it up! It's better than just reading about it. Keep it up!
