TheMmaker7's DILD WorkBook

**TheMmaker7** · 03-04-2014 12:40 AM

Alright today.What can I say about today.Well I did a unintentional WBTB by recalling a dream to where it's now stoned in memory.Which resulted in a lucid dream.The normal dream I was having before I was lucid was amazing,and the dream after this one was oneof the best dreams i've ever had.All in all had 4 dreams recalled,and 6 pages with some change.Great day recall wise.Now back to this lucid dream.I'll spare us both a little time,and tell you how it ended.All the background you need is that it lasted about half a minute,and on a scale of vividness was a 4/10.If you need more to go on just ask.But,my question to you is why do my LD's start to fade out for no apparent reason.It's not that REM was over because the dream had just started.Could it be that i'm not stabilizing at the start.Maybe its because I don't have enough experience,and I should try to DEILD whenever this happens.It will fade,and i'll just be in this blackness I know as the back of my eyelids.If you could give me some insight it will help out alot.But,anyways I was thinking about signing up for the competition this morning I will definitely get on that.I don't think I have thanked you at all for helping me out,and taking time out of your day to read these and help us out on our journeys.So,thanks im out for now.

(Inset word meaning large here) day today yet again!I was awake for about an hour,then went back to sleep and got a WILD.Now I know this is a DILD workbook so i'll keep my questions lucid related.But, this was my longest vivid dream i've had lasting about a minute.I tryed to fly and fell all inception style back to the ground.I even had a running start and dove but still didn't pull it off.Then after that I tripped,and fell in slow motion and caught myself with one finger then shot back up.Then it faded for like two seconds,and I was back in the darkness known as the back of my eyelids -_-.So,I have two questions for you oh great wise one.More like a sequel to the questions above though.Why do I keep fading out for no apparent reason?Is this prime DEILD time?Why am do I move very sluggish in my dream when lucid?Will it go away with experience?But,thats about all I have for today though.One other thing I have noticed is that most of my LD's have been at 6o'clock which I can use to my advantage.So I guess i'll be back??...

Thank you for the kind words.

It is very common for them to be short early in your practice, but it does improve with time!

Usually if it is not the end of REM, then it usually comes down to excitement and stabilization (it is usually easier to become lucid near the end of REM and thus is a commonly stated possibility for the fade). The biggest trick that I can give you regarding stabilization is to not worry about instability. Have some things that you can do if you need to, but never worry that it will be unstable otherwise it tends to bring the instability on. Sluggishness will also improve with time and the expectation that there is no reason for sluggishness to be a part of your LD experience will help eliminate it. If you have a regular bed time, then that 6am mark can definitely be put to use. I prefer waking up through intention than through alarm as alarms are a little jolting for me. I am glad to see that you joined the competition.

Let me know if you have follow-up questions or if anything is not clear.
