Thread: 'NEW' Technique Respawned for 2015!

Thanks for the comments guys. For the last 10 nights I have been setting the auto snooze for every 15 minutes after 5 hours of sleep, the alarm auto shuts off after 2 seconds and i am able to keep still upon awakening. I then try to deild by simply trying to go back to sleep whilst retaining slight awareness with the use of a mantra 'i am dreaming' I have only had 1 success where my hands started to go numb so i started to FILD and this led to me dreaming about rubbing my hands and i became lucid that way.

With so many attempts each night (8 to 12) Im unsure why i am not having more success. I understand the basics of how to WILD / DEILD and have succesfully WILD in the past

Is this a case of a technique that takes time? Maybe 1 success per week gradually going up over time due to persistent pracise and habit forming or is this something that I am getting fundamentally wrong somehow?

I always wait about 5 hours before the alarm starts to go off. It sounds every 15 mins for 2 seconds then shuts off on its own, I keep still , calm and simply try to reenter the sleep / dream state. I NEVER remember the previous dream upon awakenings and NEVER visualize to try entry. I simply remain still and observe the falling asleep process with a mantra. (im happy for the dream to begin in the bedroom) A lot of tutorials advocate entry in this way if visualization is not someones strong point

I also get to bed at 11pm every night and awaken at 7.30 so i have a steady sleep schedule. I havnt been doing reality checks or ADA / Mindfulness during the day as I cant see how these are helpful for a Deild or Wild (or maybe im wrong?) :-/

All help is very welcome, thank you
