Good luck indeed! Feel free to post any questions you may have. I have taken over for gab here in the DILD workbooks.

Ah I see.Hey Fogelbise,do you think FILD is a good technique?and what success did you had with this technique?

I'm currently wondering if I can go back into lucid dreaming or not because in a few weeks I'm about to start university and doing reality checks during those hours might be a little bit hard because I'm really gonna focus on the classes.That is why I need some advices on quick WILDing such as DEILD/FILD in which you go back to the dream state really fast.

I haven't really given it any proper attempts, sorry. There was a thread about using all kinds of motion based entries for WILD.

My specialty is DILD but one easier way to DEILD that you may want to experiment with is using multiple gentle alarms with auto-snooze during the last few hours of sleep. There was a thread in which sivason and myself participated in but I can't find it at the moment.

Do you mind posting the thread that you speak of here if you manage to find it? Thanks a lot

Alright,I'm about to try the alarm clock technique.Will report about progress soon.

Last night was kind of a little success but still failed to enter the dream state.Surprisingly I was already able to wake up with my eyes closed and body completely still when awoken by the alarm.So last night I stayed still and tried to DEILD,I felt a brief vibration on my left leg every 5 seconds or so and waited for about 20 seconds but still nothing,the vibration stayed at my left leg,could it be because I was slightly disturbed by the noise my mom was making in the kitchen early in the morning?or should I just have to wait a little bit longer to enter the dream state?

I am not a DEILD expert but I have a lot of experience with HH's and you may have been closer than you think. The noise from your mom may have simply been HH's. For the longest time I assumed many noises to be real since they often had a waking life explanation. The more I realized that they could be from the dream world, the closer I got to DEILDing and WILDing. Last night, I had either a DEILD or an in-dream DEILD and also had noise from elsewhere in the house but I knew that no one else should be in the house so I assumed it was HH's and put a little focus towards the dream and sleep side of things (hard to explain and may have just been lucky or already in a dream) and I started getting heavy vibrations and was able to enter a dream that started off as a wild ride. See my latest dream journal entry if interested: 9/4, 9/6, 9/7 & 9/9 Carried Away - DEILD + Recent DILDs #200 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

To answer your question more directly, you can always stay patient and experiment with motionless RC's to try to confirm if you are already have one foot in dreamland. If the RC seems to indicate that you are asleep but it still feels like you are in bed, you can focus on your "happy place" or use any sounds or sensations to transport you to somewhere that you associate with those sounds or sensations. I have used static like sounds that reminded me of strong waterfall to take me to a waterfall and the sensation of floating to take me to floating in space. A very different approach that many use is to roll your dream body out of bed and begin your dream from your bedroom. If you become convinced that are truly fully awake, you can get out of bed and do a WBTB and return to bed for a WILD or DILD.

Thanks a lot for the info! I'll report again very soon about my DEILD,I'm gonna try again tonight and report back ASAP.

Last night I had A LD FINALLY LOL,its really been a while although I didn't exactly remember if it was a DEILD or DILD.I think it was a DILD,cos now when the alarm actually wakes me up I woke up in a startled way that really wakes my brain up.In last night LD I couldn't remember a lot,but I did remember spawning selena gomez and a porn actor(lol) but couldn't do anything naughty as far as I remembered (.Anyway I'm gonna keep on trying everynight until I succeed in my naughty goal

Congratulations on your LD!! Great job with the summon as well! Good luck on your naughty goal!

Last night another LD wow,even though I haven't done a lot of RC's and questioning myself throughout the day because of University its either the Dream journal is the only thing I need or is the alarm waking me up in the middle of the night actually helps with my awareness as well not sure about that one.Anyway so in my LD last night,I was in the middle of a conversation with someone about going to the nearest beach(because I knew there's gonna be some sexy girls over there) but didn't had any thought about teleporting which is weird cos its much easier.So when I was in the middle of this conversation with some random dude the dream stopped right there like I was talking with him for about 10 seconds and then it was all dark and I'm already awake looking at the back of my eyelids but I thought this was a perfect chance for a DEILD,so I waited for about 20 seconds or so but nothing,not even a single discomforting feeling so I decided to open my eyes and did a RC but I'm fully awake in real life .So my question is what happened when I was talking with the guy and then all of a sudden I'm awake cos that never happened to me before.

You could have been at the end of your REM cycle. I have had non-lucid scenes go dark on me and it actually helps me realize that I am dreaming when this happens. Sometimes I am able to either continue the dream a bit longer, start a new one by patiently waiting, or start a new one by imagining a new scene. If you are able to continue substantially longer then you are either not at the end of REM or you are able to wait out the gap between REM periods which is much shorter towards the end of your sleep.

Keep up both the dream journal and the alarm since it is working for you and try to mix in the RC's when you can.

Congrats on another LD!
