DEILD or DILD?

**iFatal** · 03-06-2011 04:56 AM

Ok so I was think of a lucid dream that I had awhile back and I don't know if it is either a DEILD or DILD.

So basically, I woke up after a dream and I said to myself, "Ok when I see this again, I will become lucid."

So I went to sleep normally and I just feel asleep. I did get up and move around and I think I opened my eyes. I feel asleep went back into that same dream, saw the different details and DC's and I became lucid. No the dream didn't forum around me like in a DEILD but after a couple seconds into the dream, I realized I was dreaming.

So is this a DEILD or DILD?

I would consider it a DILD since you recognized something in the dream and that made you lucid. When you DEILD/WILD you are lucid as soon as the dream starts. More specifically I would consider it a MILD since you fell back asleep with the intention of lucid dreaming fresh on your mind. Grats though, I have a difficult time incubating the previous dream I was just in. If you can repeat it it might be an easy way for you to recognize you're dreaming.

I did recognize the dream as soon as it was done forming thats what I'm getting confused on. I didn't see the dream forum in my mind like you would with a DEILD and I wasn't aware until the dream was done forming. (I wasn't aware for like 3 seconds.)

Both!

Don't get too hung up on that though, just try to get lucid again! You may have found something that will work for you longer term. Stick with it for a few weeks !

I'm asking because i'm planning on making a tutorial on how I did this exactly (if I can do this again) and to make the tutorial I would need to know if this was a DILD or DEILD.

I'd practice it for at least a month or two before making a tutorial. Once is luck, you know

Yeah I know its not like i'm just to randomly make a tutorial right now. You still haven't answered my question. My question is if it was a DILD or DEILD not to not make a tutorial because I haven't practiced.

I did answer you. I said the same thing the poster below you said

Sounds like it could go either way. However you want to classify. It's too close to call.

Ok thanks

**iFatal** · 03-07-2011 02:01 AM

I know. I was just looking for more then 1 persons opinion so I could actually confirm what it was. Now that you and LikesToTrip said "both", I now consider my dream to be both a DILD because it was to close to call and I didn't do the things are required in a DEILD. (I moved, Opened my eyes, etc.)

You can move/open your eyes during a DEILD, it just might make it more difficult if you aren't used to WILDing. Or you could just consider it a regular WILD if you didn't slip back into the dream immediately. I dunno, it's really just the discretion of the person who experienced it.
