Thread: Chaining

This is actually what your body does naturally, even with non-lucids. You don't dream continuously, you wake slightly then sink bank into a new dreamscape. Most people just don't remember it, and aren't aware enough to really wake themselves.

Even so, this is a valid technique that's come up recently (I think). It's called Dream-Exit-Induced-Lucid (DEILD). You can find a tutorial here:

I haven't completely read the tut, but it sounds exactly like MILD? Not to say this isn't awsome.

It's not quite the same as a Mnemonic-Induced-Lucid-Dream because you don't necessarily have to use auto-suggestion (e.g. "I will have long, intense, and vivid lucid dreams) to attain a lucid state. You just train yourself (w/ auto-suggestion) to wake after each dream and then naturally slip back into another one, hopefully lucid.

It's not so much a new technique in-and-of itself, but it helps use others more effectively.

I've personally done this a few times and I'm quite inexperienced weh it comes to LDing. It's not the actual re-entry that's hard, it's remembering not to open you eyes or move when you wake. Usually the first thing I do when I wake is roll over so that's the toughest part for me. I haven't tried this for a while now that I think about it...I should get back into it. Usually it's the only way I can make myself lucid. Most of the time it's random chance. Anywho, that's my input.

This just worked really well for me... in a way...

OK so I just joined this site yesterday, I've been LDing all my life but only recently found out that it's quite unusual, I've never tried any methods to make myself do it, it's always happened naturally. I read about this DEILD thing last night and decided to try it out, after 2 1/2 hours of sleep (taking me to now) I'm pretty sure I've chained 5 lucid dreams (not bad for the first time I've ever tried any induction techniques) but I can only remember the last one well, the next to last one a bit and only the feeling of going lucid in the third from last, but nothing about the dream itself.

This seems like a good technique to have more LDs but not as memorable ones which seems pretty pointless to me, I found myself waking myself from an LD just so that I could lay still and have another one. Although, like I said, it was just my first time trying and maybe I just got over excited and forced it a bit.

Yeah I have done it what happens is to me if I do a custom method I will wake up fall asleep have a dream wake up fall asleep have a dream wake up fall asleep and have a dream this repeats for a few hours without the use of a alarm clock.

did it this morning. Happens fairly frequently, especially if I'm awakened by a phonecall or something comparable. drop back in the bed and pick up where I left off. have to be really super sleepy/tired/zoned out though.
