DILD Anyone heard of that?
As far as Links go Kaniaz has that covered @ http://dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?...ight=%2Alist%2A
This Would be a word referance guide

DILD = Dream induced lucid dream.

I'm pretty sure that's right.

This doesn't belong in Senseless by the way. Should be in General Discussion and/or Newbie Zone.

Because I am not sure how well this will take of, i figured I would put it in the Senseless Banter for now. If we compile a decent list, I thought it could be moved to the Newbies section for a quick referance guide for newbies.

Cool it got moved. Thanks mod.

Well there are A LOT of acronyms for the subject. So lets just post the more used ones to avoid too much confusion:

DC - Dream Character
DJ - Dream Journal
HI - Hypnagogic Imagery
FA - False Awakening

RC - Reality Check
WBTB - Technique: Wake Back to Bed method

DILD (Dream-Initiated Lucid Dream)
CILD (Chakra Induced Lucid Dream)
PILD (Punishment Induced Lucid Dream)
RILD (Reward Induced Lucid Dream)
TILD (Thirst Induced Lucid Dream)
UILD (Urinate Induced Lucid Dream)
SILD (Sexual Induced Lucid Dream)
LILD (Letter Induced Lucid Dream)

Huh? :hrm:

We're talking about METHODS OF INDUCTION...... :hrm:

whoaps :embarrassed:

I think ld4all has some kind of mod that when somebody uses an dream ancronymn, like "DILD" or whatever, you can hover your mouse over it and it gives you a little tooltip saying "Dream Initated Lucid Dream" or whatever.

I don't think we should start making acronyms up (DHALD)- didn't have a Lucid dream.

That's exactly why I said we should only post the most used ones. Too confusing. :wink:

I agree :go :goodjob: odjob2: :goodjob2:

I forgot about alphebetical order and all thay &^&%*!$. Thats what Kaniaz is for. PIcking up our slack!

Howetzer you should edit the new ones into your original post for easy access. Just a suggestion. ;)

Squall. I took your advice and added what I thought were the legitimate acronyms.
If anyone feels there should be any added, Words or acronyms, post and I will add them. The ones I did not add I do not recall seeing them in the forum.
* also If you see an error with one say somthing!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know that brings up some curiosity in regards to induced Lucid dreaming by non-naturals. My first Lucid Dreams as a child were always DILD's. I wonder what are the most productive for new-comers who has never experineced Lucid Dreaming. Should they try WILD's or DILD's or MILD's? Maybe all the different versions of inducing could cause some sort of strain and not being able to achieve Lding at all. I think one should pick his/her induction method and stick to that one before moving on to different methods after achieving Lucidity. Just a thought.

Oh and NREM=Non-Rem

non-REM?

Yep non-rem periods. Those periods when the body actually rest outside of the time when one is dreaming. Im not to familiar with the time periods and things of that nature but you know Seeker knows all that fun stuff.

hmm. well I never heard that before..

Ya. Where is Seeker anyway. Is he hiding from this topic? I thought he would have a list a mile long.
Actually if we keep it to the general topic of LD's And OBE's I don't think that the list needs to be that long.

he went away for like a week. he'll be back.

Are you messin with me. I see Seeker logged on now!

He went away for the weekend, er...Sunday-Tuesday, or somethin like that.

Sorry Howetzer!

I've not had time to even think lately
(WMAO - Working My A** Off). :D

I'll add to the list as I get a chance. When everyone thinks the list is complete, I'll turn it into a glossary of terms in the tutorials section.

I agree, a tool-tip would be nice. Let me pop over there and see if their forum is using phpBB.

EDIT:********************************************* ***

Here is what they have:
http://server6.uploadit.org/files/Seeker1-ld4all.JPG

They are using phpBB, same as us, but I don't know if there is any special coding involved. I'll bring it up with Icedawg and see if anything can be done.

ah, yes...ld4all. our arch rival. :mrgreen: heh. the two of us seem to be the only actually-popular lucid dreaming forums that exist. they're ahead of us in posts, people, and have been around longer...but, we seem to be attaining more posts per day than them because the gap used to be a lot bigger.

i don't agree with their paradigm--IMO, they're propagating the idea that LD's are new-ageish and kind of flaky; I'm trying to make this place look professional to hopefully bring lucid dreaming closer to becoming mainstream and help it gain a larger acceptance. i think too many sites present lucid dreaming in the same light as ld4all does.

anyway, i can add that feature (when i find time).

Icedawg = you guys rock. I know you guys are both busy bodies so thanks for your time on the whole thing.

Lol, ld4all, I haven't been there for a while.

But yea, Ice is right. They are more liberal in their LD stuff. I do like many of their topics though. Pretty intresting experiments they do.

I like your approach - it is needed indeed. Though I still like ld4all as a forum. Good luck!

Oh for sure. I didn't mean to sound so negative; that forum's been around awhile and I'm sure there are a number of great people there sharing ideas and thoughts. Also, I've been impressed with a few things that they've done. I just again wanted to help attenuate the stigma that encompasses lucid dreaming and present it in a new light.

Also, I stumbled on that seaoflife forum a few days before you mentioned it, and am rather intrigued with their dream teams. I'm contemplating trying something like that here.

ld4all has a section that posts who has the most Lucid dreams per month. and then locks the post each month.
Cool idea. With the assumtion everyone is honest.

Bad idea.

CT. Explain? :D

Would that cause additional stress to those that are in dry spells?

yep.

That is a good point!

Yeah, good point Seeker, it probably would. I know that if I was in a dry spell I'd be jealous and frustrated of a competition like that.

Anyone else have anymore useful acronyms to share?
