Thread: DEILD failing

Hi, I have an idea of what this could be but I am not entirely sure and want some of your input.

Every time I have a lucid dream or just wake up in the night and keep completely still and without my eyes opening, I attempt DEILD. The thing is, it just doesn't work, nothing happens at all. The night that I heard about DEILDs from slash I had one but after that all I do is fail them. I do make sure that I do a reality check just in case but I am always awake.

I would guess that I am not in rem when it fails but it seems unlikely due to the amount of times I have done it.

Do any of you guys have different answers as to why it never works for me?
