DEILD help

**That** · 08-28-2011 11:15 PM

Waking up without moving is not a problem for me, but after this i can't get into a dream? I just sit there with my eyes closed knowing I'm in my bed. I try to imagine sensations like rubbing a pole, rubbing the carpet, but they don't get any more realistic than if I was imagining doing it from a waking state. I have no idea how to transition from not moving to a lucid dream.

How do I get into a lucid dream from this state?

A roadblock I first had with DEILDs is that I put too much focus on making sure I didn't move, which caused me to put too much attention on my physical body. Visualize a full scene around you if you can; imagining the scene of the last dream you came from is a good start because that way, your mind won't have to construct an entirely new one. Also, breathe like you would if you were still asleep; continue your sleep-breathing pattern.

Hope that helps!

thanks! I'll try it again this morning. With the lucidology timer it's extremely easy to wake up 20 times in a night without moving so I'll see how I do!
