Thread: My Fild

Has this worked for anyone? Whenever I try, I move my fingers :ever so slightly: and then nose RC after about 25-30 seconds and it NEVER works. I don't know...it seems like some people absolutely swear by this method, but it hasn't ever worked for me and I've tried many many times. Any advice?

try 1-2 seconds

ive got another question..how fast do you fall asleep naturally =b becuase it takes me three hours usually..and I highly doubt this technique will work so quickly on me

I might end up tapping for an hour

in the evening- like 10 mins.

at night when i am half awake, 3 seconds

Well I tried this last night and it worked. But it's a funny story. It was actually a false awakening I tried it during. So I never really woke up in the first place.

argh, someone please help!

i've probably tried this 4 times now and i'm just not getting it. i have my alarm (my cell phone) right beside my bed. i've tried sleeping 5 hours, and also 3-4. nothing. i thought maybe opening the cell and turning off the alarm was too much work, so i tried using a clock right beside my bed. nothing.

i think my heart starts beating really fast when the alarm goes off... i just can't keep it from happening. i feel like i'm only seconds away from being lucid, but i just can't get it to happen. maybe i should try it every night for a week or two so it's more of a routine (and thus less exciting)...?

also, skuruza, you said do a RC after 1-3 seconds... but wouldn't it work just the same after 30 seconds? i mean, if you're asleep in 1-3, and you RC after 30, wouldn't you still be asleep? it's just hard for me to picture falling asleep that fast, even if i was really tired.

i'm struggling with this one hard core, and i can't ever get WILD to work, so any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Just a quick question, I have a hamster in my room so he's usually up and running on his wheel while I'm trying to sleep. I've gotten used to it now and I usually don't notice it but would the noise affect my attempts? Like make it harder or maybe even make it pretty much impossible or does it matter?

i have never tried it with sound, but if you are sleepy enough, it probably will not matter

Does a "breathe with your mouth shut"-RC work? instead of a nose RC

Ooo, it worked finally! Very interesting...I like it.

This topic makes me laugh, this is just a remake of fild thats been summarized in an unexplainable/non-understandable way.

When you say it I actually agree. But by expressing himself succinctly I guess it makes people think that it's easy. At least it looks easy ...

But I'm too lazy, so I haven't tried yet :/

hi skuruza,

so is this the correct way for me to do it?

--sleep at 1am
--wake up at 7m
--off the alarm but still stay on bed
--move 2 fingers very gentle for few secons
--breathe through nose and do rc for few seconds again
--then sleep?

thanks

no i meant the nose RC...


also, i just thought that the original way of FILD you had to stay up-i didnt understand it. that's why i made this.

i didn't exactly do this technique, but i did something similar a couple days ago, and i did an RC but i didn't really have to because i felt the transition where i felt like i was vibrating a couple times.so you'd think you'd realize that your lucid.

It seems obvious but do you do it with your eyes closed?

I just tried this last night, and everytime I was about to start dreaming I was thinking oh Sh** and woke myself up. And then I came close, I did the RC and found out I was dreaming and I thought Holy Sh** and I woke up again. lol, maybe I should keep the sh**s down. :yumdumdoodledum:

I dont understand how this is diferent from FILD, hmm, I may try it agian though

This is a combination of FILD and DEILD. The idea is that you are closer to falling back into dreaming when you have just awoken from REM sleep, making the FILD easier. However, I feel that I lose consciousness too easily if I don't get up from my bed. Too many time of ignoring my alarm clock has made me a bit prone to that, I'm afraid.

Maybe just a little bit. I know what you mean though. It sure gets annoying after a while.
