Last night I DEILDed finally.
So I mean, if I did it once, I can do it again, and why not every night? I can't see why I couldn't, but if it's really that simple, why isn't anyone else having nightly lucids?
I'm not expecting a lucid EVERY single night, obviously there will be factors like, no sleep, not enough sleep, stress, or just taking a break. I just mean close to it.
So Yay/Nay?
The first time I DEILDed it took me a while to properly get the hang of it. In theory it's possible; you'll have more lucids using DEILD at least. I'm yet to get a lucid every single day of the week though. I think we just have specific days/periods where we're more likely to have a lucid. :P
Can you give some more detail on how you did DEILD, that way I can tell you what I think about having one every night by that method! ;)
Hmm, well I had a dream that I was offered a ciggerate JUST around my house, but I said no, mainly because I was scared dad would see. I woke up, eyes closed, completely still, and focused on being in my yard where, I was but this time I decided to focus on a single sensation. This was flying, mainly how gravity slightly pulled me down, when I looped. I was going to swing on the clothes line, but I was worried dad would see and yell at me. And then I realised, hey, I'm visualising, why should I be worried? I realised I was actually in the dream now, and then I proceeded to continue the dream (see my DJ for the rest)
That's what happend :)
Well done, you did really well getting back into the dream, you made the important decision of thinking about the dream rather than keeping still. Yeah sure you can do this every night, as long as you remember to stay still. That's issue, remembering to stay still.
Good luck ;)
DEILD is a skill, like all lucid dreaming. Imagine you're learning to shoot. If you hit the target once, it doesn't mean you will be able to do this every time you shoot. But as more you'll be practicing, as more often you hit the target. I think so because it's something that has happened to me.
Also physiological and psychological changes can make you unable to DEILD.
Well done! You made the thought a dream and now you maybe have realised just like I did, that dreams are just thoughts and thoughts are dreams.Quote:

Thanks everyone! The whole dream is in my DJ if anyone is intrested, thanks all for getting me where I am today :D
We should all be lucid every night! :D Nothing can stand in our way.
