      Dildys Workbook

      Hi, I'm Dildy.

      • 38 years / engaged
      • female
      • no kids

      I try to keep this as a "notebook" for my progress and experiments with DILD.
      I tried MILD and WILD but these techniques just don't work for me. (for now?)
      ________

      My two only lucid dreams so far were both DILDs.
      • First Lucid Dream ~2 weeks after starting


      November 2022

      Started doing random RC's during the day.
      After two weeks I got my first Lucid Dream.
      I was at my grandparents home and the house started moving.
      Suddenly I knew this couldn't be possible and counted my fingers. NINE.
      It was a dream. I was so excited! Luckily, didn't wake up.
      Won't bore you with what happend because I wanna keep it clean in here.
      After I woke up I was happy I did it, tried it again a few times but Life happend
      and I stopped to care.

      • Second Lucid Dream - Day 21 after starting



      November 2024

      This time I wanted to be serious about it. I was reading everything and tried out almost every technique.
      At the beginning my fault was to try to lucid dream right after going to bed.
      After a few nights laying in bed without any movement for 3-4 hours hoping to finally "make it",I knew I needed to start slow and try it in the REM phase.
      Did RC's randomly during the day and asked myself if I was dreaming randomly during the day.
      Mixed it with the SAT technique.

      04.12.2024

      My second ever lucid dream happend.
      One of my scenarios I have from time to time in my dream is a terrorist attack.
      But this time, when I saw the gun and realized it's a terrorist attack, I thought "I dream this quite often! This has to be a dream!"
      While running, I did a RC. Counted my fingers, ELEVEN.
      It was a dream!!!! I remember me being so clear in this dream and remembering everything I was reading about LDs.
      I was looking around, tried to see if some things look different, I remember me touching wood to see if it feels different and even smell it.
      I looked at cars and tried to see if there's anything different from real cars. I looked at writings to see if they change (they did) But I did all this because I wanted to start slow.
      I told myself "if I lucid dream, I will first explore the environement." so I had a plan that helped me.

      Then, I realized I'm waking up. Rememberd that spinning around might help to stay in your dream so I turned around.
      I "woke up". There was a woman coming at me.
      I "woke up" again. Just to try to write it all down.
      My sister was visiting me and I yelled at her that I need to write the dream down immediately!
      Then I woke up again. This time for real.
      I had 2 FAs.
      When I wrote down the dream, I forgot a few things which made me sad but I always remembered, this was just the first one of many to come.
      I'll learn and I'll get better.

      ______________________________

      My dream signs and scenarios that often occur in my dreams:

      • I can't run, it's like I have glue on my feet
      • someone is chasing me
      • I can randomly fly
      • terrorist attack
      • Water slides / slides
      • Tsunamis / big waves
      • being too late to something work/school
      • Can't find my classroom (out of school for 20 years)
      • I have to go back to my class after skipping one specific school subject for weeks
      • I have to climb or go down a really steep slope
      • I once had a cat, sometimes I dream about her biting me or me changing her litter box after weeks of forgetting


      What I do for DILD / LD


      • RCs from time to time
      • Asking myself if this is a dream from time to time
      • I try to feed my subconcious mind as much as possible. I read a lot about LDs, watch videos, read other peoples experiences.The more I feed my SM with LD content, the higher are the chances I'll dream about it.
      • Doing muscle relexation when I go to sleep so I fall asleep faster


      Fails

      Sometimes, finger counting doesn't work for me. I had two dreams where I counted my fingers and there was nothing unusual. So if one RC doesn't work I need to remember to do a different one.
      Also sometimes obivous dream signs don't result in a LD. I was dreaming I was looking at a clock and it always gave me a different time. But in the dream I just thought my clock is broken even though in RL I already knew it's a dream sign.

      Goal
      So I wanna train myself to be aware of all of my dream signs. Everytime when one of these signs happen in my dream, I want to think "This could be a dream!"
      I think I'll need to try to think about these scenarios when I go to sleep or even during the day and in that phantasy imagining myself doing an RC.
      When I sit in the train: Imagine myself try to run and not be able to = Doing an RC.
      When I sit at home: Randomly imagine myself being late for something and looking at the clock as a RC.
      etc....
      I know I could also do RCs with daily tasks.. like everytime I go to the toilet = doing an RC.
      Everytime I see a baby = doing an RC
      but I always forget about those.
      ___

      So let's see at what point the next LD will happen, and even more interesting: how it will happen.
      Keep you updated

      When i went to bed yesterday, i did my muscle relexation as always.
      Then I concentrated just to play around.

      - For a short Moment i had the feeling of opening a bag of Chips. I opend it but my hands didnt move. I Was concious.

      - After a few Minutes I drifted away again.
      A Shopping card. I Was buying avocados and bananas. But much more than Usual.
      DILD kicked in. I thought
      "This is unusual. Why do I have so many of them? Did some one accidently put theirs in my card? No it's too many.. No. No this could be a Dream. Yep this is a dream."
      I was wide awake immediately. XD Didnt even have time to do a RC.
