New technique?

[gratismat]

I accidenticaly tested a "new?" inducing-method last night, sorta like wilding but yet not, would appreciate inputs. I fell asleap, not lucid. When I was about to wake up, just at the point when you know that youre dreaming(naturaly), I focused on something I made up in my head, I was about to wake up you know so of course there was no real dream-things that I could focus on. However it worked, I fell back into sleap lucid. So, have anybody tried or encountered this method before?

It's called a DEILD "dream exit induced lucid dream" and it's a nearly 100% way to become lucid. The trick is that you only have a one or two second window to catch it and if you move too much you loose it.

You know I didn't find it wery hard to react allmost emidiatly when I knew I was lucid, maby this comes with experience though. The trick for me was to realize that I had still not woke up, this was completely random, if I hadn't got the idea i would probably have given up and woken up.

Yes, I was also going to say DEILD. I actually just found out about it, not too long ago. I'm getting really good at it. It's my favorite technique.

I used to use a similar technique when I was younger, before I knew about LDing. After an engaging dream, I would lay in bed with my eyes closed and try to "finish" the dream through visualization. Sometimes after a while I would fall back into the dream at the point I was at in the visualization, so I would still retain some control. After some time, though, the dream would carry on on its own and I would lose control. I haven't been able to manage it since I learned about LDing, but I'll give it another shot this weekend when I get the chance to just lay in bed for a while. Hopefully the dream is worth continuing and I can keep my thoughts going
