Azoller1's Dild Workbook

**azoller1** · 03-09-2013 03:17 PM

Hello my name is Alex Zoller, I'm 15, and really I haven't started to try and lucid up until the beginning of march even through I joined here over 8 months ago, because after reading a little bit more here on DV I really wanted to get into LDing and getting my first on

And what do you know last night or this night I just slept I finally got my first LD! And wow was it amazing, and luckily I didn't get crazy excited so I didn't wake up and I could enjoy the rest of the dream, I was getting flustered because I couldn't get on in about week and I almost gave up, but I kept going and did it pay off. An LD is just something to take your mind of all of the stress going on in your life and go enjoy and do whatever you want to do, and I can't wait till I have my next one, thanks to everyone here about Dild and its tricks, I will keep progress here as I go, also you can see my dream in my journal

Tried Dild again last night and no luck, I guess if I get 9 hours plus on sleep I have an LD so I guess I need more sleep

Hey, that's awesome! Congrats on your first LD

And welcome to DILD class

Practice you RCs and awareness question with mantras during day, then a little bit as you sitting on bed ready to sleep and repeat your mantra as falling asleep.

Each time you wake up at night, even if just for a minute (trip to bathroom), put the lights on and wake up your mind by doing math problems in your head. This will help your mind to wake up in a dream too.

Here is an article about my awareness question + RCs + mantras, and dream recall and other stuff.

Ask any questions and post your progress, if you like. Happy dreams

I really wish I could get 6, 7 hours of sleep and have an LD, seems my rem doesn't really start to kick in till about 8-10 hours of sleep

**gab** · 03-13-2013 06:55 AM

You know, my first DILD was only after about 3 hrs of sleep. So it's possible to LD after short time of sleep. Of course, you have better chance later on, simply because REM gets longer. But don't give up, do your RCs and mantras and set your intent. Good luck

starting to get back into ld, and doing more mantras and Rc's throughout the day getting a lot better recall, no lucids yet but im sure ill have one tonight!

Dang it I remembered my dream real well in the morning but forgot to write it down, well at least my recall is improving everyday!

**gab** · 05-27-2013 05:00 PM

Yeah, it's important to write it down.

You can try this trick. If you re-tell your dream to yourself using words, rather than just replaying it in your mind, it will transfer to your daytime memory and you may be able to recall it even little later. But really, best thing is to write it, or at least some kewords, immediatelly. Have a notebook handy. Sometimes I have a piece of paper in the bathroom and on my nightly visits I jot down time and keywords.

**azoller1** · 05-28-2013 03:24 PM

Yeah it does help me if I keep reading it over and later on in the day I'll see or notice something that will kick my memory in about my dream,

OK I'm still doing lots of RCs and mantras throughout the day but keep forgetting to do them in my dream maybe I'll try an afternoon nap later and see if I can become lucid

The thing is, you are not forgetting to do them in your dream. They are simply not getting into them, because perhaps you didn't practice them long enough yet, or maybe you not using enough emotions.

Once that happens, they will show up in your dream automatically without you doing anything about it. But they will get you lucid only if you have enough awarenes. You can get awareness by practicing it during day. One, short way is in the article Collection... as I linked you above.

I've been kind of trying to incorporate this with wild, when I initial fall asleepci thing about lucid thoughts and get a dild but then use wbtb for a wild, but I'm thinking now this isn't possible because im waking during rem and I can't dild when I wake at that time

**gab** · 06-08-2013 06:35 PM

Waking during REM is good. If this is after some hours of sleep, you gonna continue with REM after just a short while. So you can use that for WBTB and WILD. If WILD doesn't work out, you still have a chance for a DILD, since waking up for a WBTB is good for DILDs too. Good luck.
