Thread: Another way of getting a DILD

Also, I normally don't RC in dreams. I have never had an LD through an RC, only by questioning my reality by thoughts, not actions. If I do something that is so bizarre or even pointless, maybe I might say "whoa, that's not right." and from there I'll just know that I'm dreaming, but the fact is my anylitical mind is off during sleep which is why I might have a DILD every once in a while, but I've really begun to rely on FILD, DEILD, and WILD. And fact is, DILD isn't for everybody, and Im an example. I have a friend that has one every few days, meanwhile, he never knew what lucid dreaming was until I told him. I personally am lucky to get 30% success rate a month on DILD. This is why Im thinking about theories on this all the time. Im trying to get DILDing to be easier so I won't lose 30 min to an hour of sleep a night.

Hi, if thinking that way doesn't interfere with Ur thoughts during the day then it should work cause I also did use Ur technique before only during WBTB but did not become lucid. Instead I questioned if I was dreaming or not or that I am dreaming but don't do anything about it.... I find personally that thinking that way that Ur dreaming interferes with the normal thought patterns and I do feel strain but like if it dosen't affect U that way then Ur in good hands...

As long as you don't start thinking you are actually in a dream when you're awake!

yes, I do think that would be a problem lol. Well I did have a DILD last night. Same thing though, I was just thinking about LDing and I realized that I was dreaming. It is becoming more frequent now, due to the fact that I stopped smoking weed for good and Im thinking also because I have been using this method for about a week now. Im still struggling to find that sweet point when WILDing, you know the amount of awakeness you need to do it w/o either being too awake, or just falling back to sleep. I find myself in the second category unfortunately. So until I find that, I'll stick to this method.

Sounds good Blue Haze, I beleive Laberge mentioned this in his ETWOLD book, a technique called "lucid living". By all means try it, sounds like it's giving you some luck already. It almost sounds like by constantly beleiving you're in a dream, your tying a thread to your subconcious from your concious...

Anyway, take care, good luck with WILD, and this as well. Let us know how it goes.
