Thread: LucidDreamGod's DEILD/Chaining Lucid Dreams technique

Thank you, yeah I had the idea, and as many times as I've done WBTB's I've observed that I'll wake up more often or at least be more aware.

DEILD itself is something I can do nicely, and hopefully I'll have time by now.

Thank you, I hoped that I wrote it in a clear way, and haven't confused people with the way it's worded. Yeah it really depends a lot if you can be conscious of those times when you do wake up, I've theorized that we wake up a lot but just don't notice it, since it's common to wake up at the end of a REM period.

Thanks, let me know how successful it is for you, hopefully my WBTB idea can work for everyone.


Also an idea to wake up more often that I had forgot about will be added.

Btw, the thing about focusing on being conscious when you wake up in those little periods really works. I slept in the afternoon out of exhaustion, and I remember waking up like 3 times. The first thing I thought upon waking up was "am I conscious?" on each time I woke up. I also failed a WILD and it gave me quite a cool surfing-esque nonlucid. Guess I'm a lil rusty

I still don't understand how to wake up without an alarm. I did it sometimes when I was younger, but that just happened randomly.

Can you explain in great detail how you're doing it? Focusing on "time" isn't much to go from. Do you focuse on the clock, like "I'm going to wake up at 04:00!", "I'll wake up in 4 hours" or how are you doing it? I'm pretty sure the DEILD technique would work for me, if I could just get the WBTB-without-alarm part.

Yeah it's ok if it's random.

It's not too complex, I just think I'm going to wake up at that specific time, and just expect it to happen without me having to do anything else. You don't use will power, I think thats the mistake some people might make, you simply think you'll wake up then, and leave the rest to your mind.

Exactly. I tell myself I'll wake up at 6am and I often wake up by 5:45. This is great because I have time to snooze a lil bit xD

I do nothing other than tell myself "wake up at whatever time".

Hm, my sleep pattern isn't very consistens these days. Could this be cause for fail ?

Ya, if you don't have a regular sleep pattern, telling yourself to wake up at certain times does not tend to work, because your biological clock is not adjusted enough to just do this.

At-least, I know personally, I haven't had a regular sleep schedule in years, and I never wake up naturally at any time. I'm now dependent on an alarm clock. Sucks really, but I have tried telling myself to wake up at certain times, with fair confidence, and it just doesn't work consistantly.

Idea for you:
If you don't wake up naturally several times a night, set an alarm which doesn't require you to turn it off. In other words, something that will wake you up just enough, but not require to you move to turn it off, thus it self terminates.
For instance, I have a laptop which i can schedule "events" on. So i could have my laptop play a certain sound for like 20seconds, enough to wake me up, then that sound would end, and i could could do this technique.

Goodluck

I agree with Syntex

If you don't fall asleep consistently then your mind has an increasingly difficult time knowing what time it is. I've noticed over all that I wake up more when I am going to sleep at the same time and waking up at a similar time.

Oh dang I forgot to add that method, I seriously considered it before writing it, it just slipped my mind. I'll add it thank you.

Also if anyone tries it and has success, I'd be interested in knowing.

EDIT: dang can't edit the first post anymore .
