Thread: Adam's Guide to Attaining Lucidity

My problem is that when I wake up, I want to go up to take a leak.
got an idea what I can do?

Bucket + tubing? =P

And I use this lots of the time. I find its often best to skip back a while in dream time when doing this though. If you miss jumping straight back in (its often a narrow window) Simply relax and try to recall your dream. Whenever you get to a point you wish something else had happened or you had been lucid so you could have done something different, Concentrate on what had happened. Its quite easy to throw together a makeshift VILD like this.

Maybe set your alarm for 5am and take a pee, then when you naturally wake up at 8 or 9 you shouldn't need to go again?

This should work well for me, I naturally wake up around 4:30am, but that's to pee. Then after that I wake up again around 8, maybe I should try it then.

Isn't this the same thing as DEILD? Correct me if I'm wrong. Or at least point out the differences.

This is the method I used for many years to perform dream control and dream "steering" by slipping beck into the dream I just awoke from. I used it on a very regular basis way before I knew anything about LDs.

DEILD?

Not heard of this, if so, my bad... Will have a look

So it is.

But this person claims to have invented it too

Seems quite a popular method too, can't believe I had never heard off this one....

Hehe. Well, the best part is that both you and I (and I'm sure many others) have discovered this method on our own, which tells me that it's a rather natural way to go about dream re-entry, dream control and lucid dream induction.
