Lol hey again, sorry I haven't been doing much lucid dreaming stuff lately. I've been thinking of it the last few days though, decided I want to try this out out of all the different things though. I'm still remembering 5 dreams a week or so. So I'll start journalling again to get back to like 12-15 a week. While I'm doing that I'll focus on trying to wake up after dreams or 'realise' i'm awake after dreams. Let you know lol, I won't give up this time.
Keep my posted :)
Are you from campbelltown NSW by the way?! :)
Aha yeah, why?
Last night went pretty good I thought. Woke up at least 3 times but kept moving I'll work on that as well.
Same as last night, woke up a few times but moved before thinking :P I'll put more focus on the staying still part.
My lucids have been going pretty good lately, at least 3-4 a week. Still having trouble staying in the dream for longer than a few minutes though. Maybe I should try the spinning technique, and maybe doing math. I just hate how I can kinda feel the awakeness or whatever kinda lingering, and if I don't keep focus I'll just wake up too easily. Hopefully I'll have another lucid tonight so I can practice sum mo'
That's awesome Triforce :P. Last night was basically the same, woke up 1-2 times.
I have to say that last night was the first time I said the mantra , "when I wake up and I see this darkness I will not open my eyes" and it worked! I didnt open my eyes but I couldnt go back in the dream I had before :( ill keep trying though! I cant beleive it worked the first night!
Enak - That's my home town, small world, huh?!
Triforce - Yeah there's no amazing advice I can give you apart from "keep practising!" The fact that you're having three lucids a week is excellent though! Have you considered devoting a singular lucid dream, to JUST focusing on prolonging your dreams? I'm sure you know that calm lucid dreams tend to last a considerable amount longer, if you can learn how to emulate this whilst doing "exciting" things in your lucid, that could possibly work. Normally, I'd be reluctant to give away a lucid dream to that, but if you're being awarded three on a weekly basis, then perhaps one session, could drastically improve the general quality of your lucid dreams.
And, OH MAH GAWD :shadewink:
Over ten thousand views on this thread ^.^ I'm pretty happy with that, I mean, if you think about the individual people actually reading le guide, it's pretty sweet!
Thanks heaps for the support guys ;3
One good tip for DEILD is not to think too much about real life when you wake up, just keep focused on the dream. Pretend you're still in it, doing whatever it was you were doing.
Anyways, I had a lucid last night, as expected. Half way through SP I started getting scared of possible scary sounds and tried to wake myself up. Luckily I realized that was stupid and calmed down. So I entered the dream and walked around my house a bit. I kept very calm, and was doing plenty of math which seemed to work quite well, while also doing other things to stay in the dream. I also managed to summon plenty of fruit by closing and opening my eyes, which is my first summon, so that's pretty cool. Then I started eating cake out of the fridge but, despite my dream seeming very stable, I woke up. It was really quick, too. No more than 2 seconds of blacking out. Not even enough time to spin around or anything. I reentered the dream, which felt stable again, but ended quickly anyway.
Also this guide is very awesome - you definitely deserve the views.
So, what if you just can't remember the dream you woke up from? The only time DEILD worked for me was when I could remember the previous dream. Also do you have to wake up after each dream. I do not naturally.
If you can't remember the dream you woke up from, you're gonna have a bad time. Kidding!
That's fine, as mentioned in the guide, it's not necessary to continue from your previous dream. Regardless of whether or not DEILD only worked when you were capable of remembering previous dream, believe me when I say that it's quite possible to just run with a random scene. However, if you're keen on performing a DEILD off your previous dream, then I suggest you work on your dream recall, and it should come too you in time. The whole idea of DEILD is the transition from wake to sleep, after waking up, so yes, you do. The thing is, with all due respect, you're incorrect ThAtaInTmE, you DO wake up after each dream, or at least several times a night, you're just not aware of this, because it's been happening your whole life, so your brain just throws any recollection of the event away. Did you know, that our nose is actually in the view of our eyes? Once again, our brain just ignores this because it's considered unimportant. I suggest using a mantra in order to catch those intervals at which you awaken each night. Try something like "I will be aware, when I awake." Hope this helps, please tell me how it goes!
Wow...I haven't been on here in ages, it's been months. I just lost interest in all lucid dreaming, though I still had it on the back of my mind, It wasn't so big of a deal anymore than what it used to be. I really would love to focus on this more, and I really should have since the beginning of summer. I'm going to make lucid dreaming a big priority because it's really an amazing thing, and I have been ignoring it.
It's good to be back, and this time I'm gonna stick with it :) .
My recall is better, I've been remembering more dreams, and I want to focus on this method and eventually get very good at it.
Sounds good! If like you say, other things kind of over ride your life, and take priority over lucid dreaming, then maybe mastering DEILD would be an effective way to combat that. I mean, it's one of those techniques that don't need to be integrated into your constant day to day life. I'm sure it'd be great for you to get back into lucid dreaming!
Personally, I've kind of dropped out of it, and don't really carry any intentions to begin again. I LOVE lucid dreaming, but with work and school, all I want to do is sleep, because I don't get free days any more. I'll still be here to guide people for as long as they need me though!
I will try the mantra and let you know. Maybe a dose of B6 couldnt hurt either.Quote:

anyways ill have to remember not to move, maybe with the help of a mantra.
Thanks for the help though. Ill post as soon as i get a DEILD.
I already sort of DEILDed by an accident. (I forgot about the whole idea/hobby of lucid dreaming) I woke up, but i still could see into my dream (really... whats up with that?). I felt my body in the waking world and how i layed in the bed. For my fortune, i was still barely holding into a dream. I saw how i held some sort of blue colored mobile device in my hands. I started focusing into it, and felt how my awareness started sucking me in slowly. My body started vibrating like crazy, until i kinda "popped in" like going into/through a giant soap bobble or something, it's really hard to describe.
Also, for any new readers who are afraid of that weird stuff like body vibration etc... before i experienced it, i thought it'd be a really scary/alien event. but it's NOT scary at all! :)
uhhh.. so was this a DEILD, WILD or ? lol
That sounds like a SOUHFOADHFODSHOSIFHODSIHFOIHSDFHDSOIFHDOISHFOIASDH FOAIJDIOSA ILD lol
Still keep moving 1-2 times a night, it's frustrating. I'll really focus on the mantra with more effort.
This technique is incredibly easy once you become used to the practice. I won't say I've mastered it because I haven't, although I haven't had a lot of DEILDs. I definitely know the onset of one when I feel it.
Read this and I was able to wake up after my dreams... 3 times. But no DEILD. I tried staying still but somehow I just lost consciousness.
I think it basically happened last night. Woke up and after what I thought was a very short amount of time and without me really focusing on anything in particular I felt a 'sucking' and like some bright light and then I was in a dream, in my bedroom but my light was turned on, tried to rub hands and then I rolled off bed and looked under it and went out of the dream. It's given me some confidence that next time it will work better, but I did know I was dreaming. Need to work on recall as well :P
Congratulations Enak!
I thought you were going somewhere else when I read "sucking" giggity!
Keep me posted :)
Definitely DEILD.Quote:

So, for the scared-of-SP readers reading this, SP is really not bad. Once you get used to it you'll develop a sort of "come at me bro!" mentality towards it. Heck, sometimes during sleep parry I try to induce it even more. But I understand your fear. It's hard to truly understand SP unless you've experienced it. Here's my tip: Don't be afraid, relish it! Let the paralysis swallow you! Picture yourself being sucked into a crazy ass portal to dream land! If you can't see your dream after a while, force that s***. Try to jump out of bed, clap your hands and demand clarity! Works for me.
I agree with triforce, once you've experienced them, you start to associate them with positivity, it's basically a sign of a nice lucid dream :)
