Question abouat an LD

[Chookie]

So, tonight I had an very cool LD () and i have no idea what induction technique or whatever was this... I woke up at 07:00 and was awake for atleast 1min mostly with my eyes closed, and i remembered this girl from my last dream. So I gone to sleep with thinking of that scene and repeating to my self: "If I ever see that girl, I'll do a RC" i only said that twice and next thing i remember was that i was in my bedroom and shee standing near my bed. While i was getting up, I said to my self: "Yeah, Yeah, I'm dreaming" and did an RC... So what induction technique was this? Thanks!

I believe that would be a DEILD, check the tutorial. I usually have these after a WILD or another DEILD in which I woke myself up trying something crazy or not stabalizing my dream. I'm usually able to go right back into the dream within seconds(like 10 or less I imagine). I'll have many of these in one sitting, depending on how bad I am at retaining a LD. Eventually, it will end as your REM stage ends. That's when I get outta bed.

Yeah, I haven't been able to induce any lucids yet, but doing something like what you did allows me to re-enter a dream I just woke from or even decide what I want to dream about, and it usually works. I think this is definitely the technique that is most promising for me.

I'd call it a DILD. You found a dream sign, and then recognzed it in the dream. You don't mention remembering entering a dream, so I wouldn't consider it DEILD.

Either DILD or DEILD. You mentioned remembering a girl from a dream you that you'd had earlier, did you mean earlier that morning, or earlier as in a few days ago? Ultimately it doesn't matter as you were able to, with what seemed like little effort, recognize that you were dreaming. Congrats, and good luck with that in the future.
