Me neither. Maybe you can try making your self thirsty, and then fall asleep. After the REM period, during your microawakening you'll need a drink, and may stay up more than 2 seconds to get one.
yeah somebody answered
Reality check...? Usually it's pretty easy to determine that you've either a) ended the dream and woken in your bed b) ended the dream and are now in a false awakening. Just make sure to do reality checks whenever you wake up! I for one have a much harder time realizing that I'm dreaming than I do realizing that I'm awake hahaha
Simple. Just make a habit of doing reality checks whenever you wake up, as Shift said
Give it a while to sink into your skull as a habit, and bob's your uncle (grandfather in my case)
I do reality checks every time i wake up because I'm deathly afraid of sleep induced hallucinations . . .:eek:
haha. . .
I'm still working on that damn spoon
I myself started wanting to do a DEILD about 3 weeks ago, so every time i woke up, whether or not I moved I would remind myself that I didn't want to and I should stay completely still when I wake up. Now three weeks later this morning I woke up opened my eyes for a split second and shut them realizing I was awake and stayed completely still; that's the 3rd time that's happened in 4 days. I figure it's only a matter of time before I won't even open my eyes anymore.
The thing is it takes time, the brain only learns something if it is done over and over again. The first week was really annoying because it didn't feel like I was making any progress, but I was. Even if I rolled over when I woke up I just kept reminding myself that I shouldn't do it. I didn't tell myself every night before I went to bed that I wouldn't move, rather I waited until I actually woke up.
Hope this helps :D
It is individual..
You know what that means?
This is why all guides fail, but the objective ones..
But the failed ones, earn money and spread their incompetence as facts.. Just get with it.. Impossible to fight..
Tell me, why "we" call it lucid dreaming?
Hehe..
Most people using it, have not even bothered looking "lucid" up in a dictionary..
I say, I pity those who pity.. And right now, I pity myself.. :p
