So I started using this technique a few weeks ago with great success. After waking up, I hit the snooze button and go back to sleep, then imagine my body lying in the bed. It's not hard for me to then "open my eyes" within my imagination and be staring at the wall in my room. Some have called this sensation "seeing through your eyelids."

Well after that, I get up and WAPOW i'm in a lucid dream. Easy as fuck. I don't even need to reality check, in fact I do the opposite. I try to convince myself that I'm in real life for the first minute or so. I find that because i'm in such a thin layer of sleep, it's incredibly easy to wake up during this period, so any kind of thoughts about me being in a LD will break my concentration and i'll usually wake up. But after I get through that, and throw a couple of dream spins in there, I'm solidly in the LD.

The great thing about this technique is that you can chain a bunch of these together to have multiple LDs. If you wake up after attempting the FA, you can keep your eyes closed and just try it again. The fact that you can allow yourself to be aware of the sensation of lying in your bed makes this technique much easier than the typical DEILD where you might try to induce the dream in some other location, or let the hypnotic imagery dictate where you end up.

I had an experience with this about 30 minutes ago after waking up. This time, after waking up from the FA-induced LD, I just layed there keeping my eyes closed and immediately went into some pretty intense SP. So it's like I went from a DEILD directly into a WILD without any effort.

The main thing to take away from this experience, and what i'd like to share with you all trying to get LDs is that your imagination is your biggest tool. If you're tired and lying in bed, you can literally imagine yourself right into a dream, and it's not even hard. Forget about all the mechanics of trying to have a WILD or reality checking all day in hopes of a DILD. It's really as simple as using your imagination to open your dream eyes while you're laying in bed.

Anyone else have any experience with this, or comments?
