Thread: DEILD Tips

I've noticed a lot of people are having difficulties DEILDing, so I'm posting this. I had two last night and one a week ago using this method, so maybe it'll help you. It's pretty simple.

Besides not moving and staying relaxed after a dream, there's something else that can help:

When you're at the end of a dream, take a 'screenshot' of the last scene you see until you find yourself in bed. For instance, if the last thing you're doing is sitting on the floor of your room, petting your cat, remember that. Remember the feelings and the senses.

Next, when you're in bed, don't use inner dialogue. Try not to think, "I'm going to DEILD now", or the latter. You have to think about that 'last scene' fairly quickly, and include the senses; smell the room, feel the objects you were touching! I think this is what makes the brain think you're still asleep: that you are still in the dream, carrying out the same thing you were just doing. You should be thrusted back into a dream within 20 seconds. Sometimes it's a pretty electrifying experience; you can get SP vibrations and everything!

One of the two DEILDs I got last night was a FA, though, so make sure to do an RC. If nothing seems to happen, wait a minute before getting up.

Thanks, Demera. Maybe this explains why I fail every time. I always worry when I'll reach SP and such stuff.

Welcome. Hope it helps.

Don't hope for it to happen. Just say it will happen, I know it will

Okay.
If this works for enough people, DV should add it to the DEILD tutorial. It might make it easier for people.

The only problem I have with DEILD, is it has the potential to kill my recall. There is a good chance I will fall back asleep, lose lucidity, and forget everything. I only really do it when I want a lucid dream marathon, or am not satisfied with the dreams I've had so far. If I don't care about forgetting the dream I've already had, I will go ahead and give it a shot.
