Thread: DEILD Difficulty - Returning to Lucid Dreaming

Last night I was laying in bed after waking up again, and tried the former without any success. I am finding that when I try imagining the dream I just came from, nothing happens either. But at least I woke up last night feeling groggy enough to almost doze off. Most of my attempts so far have been waking up with my eyes closed, but too alert.

I think that DEILD will come to you in time, like it did to me. I just gradually got the hang of it through repeated experiences. Like you are describing, I got vibrations, got SP, had to go through it, mess it up, whatever and eventually it started to click.

I don't know if anyone can expect to 100% control DEILD but I think over time the likelihood increases. So just be patient with it and it will come.
