Thread: DAPILD (Determination, Acceptance and Peace)

Lucid dream induced by Determination, Acceptance and Peace (which includes patience).


Requirements : You will have to learn to control your temper and learn to accept things before it will get effective. This can be easily achieved by meditation. Also concentration will come in handy too.
It doesn’t has to be long, rather short but powerful. And your mind should be flexible. Learning this will also help increasing your waking life.
Disclipine and self-control are very important factors too, but I guess that those things are required for nearly everything in life.

Preparation : This period starts about 10 minutes before sleep. First you’ll have to relax. Meditate to clear your mind of stress and frustrating thoughts. If your mind is at peace already you can skip the meditation. With relaxing I mean stretching a bit while listening to soothing music and get sleeping a bit. I would like to advice you on listening to Dan Gibson’s music if you’re searching for chilling music.
The goal is a sleepy mind and body. It’s nice if you can get a bit dizzy before hitting the sheets. I like this song* a lot, it contains subliminal messages which are messages converted into a certain frequency which is repeated throughout the song. The unconscious mind will pay extra attention to them. Don’t try to find out what the words are because this will result in less effective effects. This is due to the less interest your unconscious mind will have because you already know the message.

Determination : After laying in bed for a while, having some random thoughts and being totally relaxed without annoying concerns or whatsoever you must start thinking about the lucidity which you will achieve this night. You must be totally convinced that you’re going to reach the state this night. Think that if it won’t happen (the lucidity) which of course will (the mindset) that you’ll accept it and be in peace with it. So after resolving and knowing that you will have a lucid dream let yourself drift off to sleep. Try to not think of anything.

Drifting off into sleep : After the determination comes the peaceful part. Maybe hard for some but we’re aiming on the beginning of a WILD here. While not thinking of anything you’ll have to feel your body falling asleep. Tingling hands comes first (in my case). If you have approaching thoughts let them come, but don’t think consciously, this is important. Then before even hitting SP let your mind fall asleep.

Failure : The keywords are peace and patience here. If you woke up without having a lucid dream accept it. Don’t get frustrated but be in peace with it and resolve to try again next evening. Remember this technique won’t work if concerns and frustrations cross your thoughts. Another thing is balance between desiring a lucid dream and accepting not having one. You should look forward the lucid dream but not more.

Some notes : It might be confusing because this relates to common sense but I believe that it's a technique which requires the right mindset and knowledge of common sense. There are so many techniques all the same with little tweaks. Everyone reacts different to techniques so feel free to adjust it to you own needs. If this won't work it probably will improve your chances of having lucid dreams with a significant amount. I'm interested if this works as good for you as it works for me so post your opinion and the results of experimenting with this technique.

Good luck ~

I will definitely try this soulmate

And wow... I gotta comment on the language used, very beautiful indeed, nicely structured, neat, and very clear.

Thanks for the nice comment, experiment with it and make twists and changes if you wish to. I have confidence that you'll get the hang of LDing pretty fast, you have talent, and you can achieve a lot with your willpower. Like you couldn't recall at all, you didn't recall a dream for years. You had expectation and confidence and all of sudden 2 recalled dreams out of nothing and even one of them lucid. Reading all the other techniques will give you a good view of the structure of lucid dreaming too. Good luck with it mate !

Yet another -ILD...

Name it however you want .

I think you should just call it "Peaceful LD" or something simple. There are WAY too many -ILDs. Like EALOFTGTBILD (Eat A Lot Of Fish Then Go To Bed Induced Lucid Dream.)

Hey nothing is wrong with the -ILD suffix.
Would you have said the same thing in my DEILD thread?

Great job Mr. Control. Learning to control (pun?) the discipline of the mind upon failing to attain a lucid should subside the anger/depression and bring a nonchalant attitude towards the whole process, which should obviously help. I believe one of the main reasons people fail at having a lucid dream is because in the back of their mind they are telling themselves they won't succeed.

put a warning there! i watched the youtube one and was out in about 5 minutes and stayed asleep for about an hour. this is in the middle of the day too, lol. but good work on this ILD

I'm going to bed soonish, I'm going to have a lucid with this technique. First to relax.

Control, I'm just wondering, do u only have to wait for the beginning o SP?

And how do u let the mind fall asleep thinhing of nothing?


I've already read Jeff's thread, so please tell me in ur own words!

I'd love to be a test subject!

Nice technique, even though it sounds like a combination of techniques

Will try when I can, though

You don't have to, SP is the last step of the body falling asleep so that means that you're almost doing a WILD, well you can always switch from my technique to a WILD. Like I said personalize it . Good luck and tell me the results

I'm in!. Although I'm suffering quite alot of insomnia this winter, I've actually had a very bright dreamrecall lately. Perhaps due to REM-deprivation leading to excessive REM-sleep.

ZEN-ILD?

wouldn't that be ZILD? but that is a good way to sum this ILD up.

Doesn't ZEN stand for reaching the desired state of mind with images and music? Anyway, everyone who wants to participate add me on MSN. I'll upload my account so it'll display my MSN. Thanks .
