Thread: Yuppie's DEILD guide - The easiest way to lucid dream.

Okay, I see where you're coming from
If you have any questions or experiences, be sure to check back here!
Best of luck

Testimony: Using DEILD gives me a lucid dream about every three days after 2-3 months of practice

Contrary to others' experiences, DEILD personally boosts my recall by ALOT. I recall about 3 dreams a night using DEILD, and recently reached 5-6 a night.

Yuppie, do you have any extra (detailed) advice on the actual DEILD process? I have found that most of the time DEILD is a delicate balancing act for me. If I clutch onto consciousness I cannot fall asleep. If I get too engulfed in the dream I transition without noticing. However I can DEILD after moving. Is it really that easy to maintain lucidity and transition back into the dream at the same time?

, Anything, And I mean anything is possible in a dream...
I have done recall and then awakened again, Or in another light, I have DEILD'ed recall then awakened wondering WTF...

Can you rephrase that? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Unfortunately, it's not strict normality to improve your dream recollection when practising DEILD. However, you're extremely lucky; and you should cherish your ability.
I've also experienced your balancing act dilemma, and I find that it comes with time. As you develop a more and more accurate sense of how your conciousness works, you'll find yourself capable of slipping into DEILD, at the perfect level of Awareness, and passiveness. I can't really provide you with any magic advice, but I hope you're aware of how powerful your ability to grasp an understanding of your control can be. Seeing you're capable of DEILD-ing, I'm sure you've struck the right balance previously. It's jut a matter of pin pointing it, and being able to tap into that every time, with ease. Refine your ability to just DEILD in general, and it'll come to you in time, with your experience.
Please do check back, and tell me how it goes. Best of luck!

I still think DEILD has a lot of potential for me, once I get my recall up a little bit I might tackle it, maybe even tonight since I seem to be getting at least 1 dream a night passively anyway. I'll start using a mantra to realise I'm awake during the night, my old problem used to be moving when I woke up but I'll see what happens.

Thats what I mean, It made made perfect sense to me then.
I apparently tried to recall during a false awakening, But I was continuing the previous dream instead,
I also many times non lucid dream that I am lucid dreaming, That makes sense too, Right ?
As far as I have seen dreams do not make sense

Yeah (>_<) I think I worked it out. Last night I was able to remember my dream, even though it's kinda difficult coz I stayed up late with a lot of people and slept on the sofa with many others. I plan to continue with this for a few more weeks.

Just to report that I had an almost-lucid dream, although I was just looking at what looked like the floor at very close range. I can't seem to get my view anywhere else, so I imagined myself running. I had several images running through before I lost control and went back into a dream. But this is a far cry from the other techniques I've been trying.

I still kind of have that can't-remember-dreams placebo effect, so I have to work on that as well.

Thanx! ^_^

That's great to hear from all of you!
I'm currently really sick, and I can hardly type or move.
Keep me posted, I promise I'll provide solid feedback as soon as I don't feel like dying.

i dont see why i cant give it another go

MORE QUESTIONS!!!!!!

isuppose i have question myself. as far as background ive done a fair amount of successful and not DEILDs.

Here it be: is it easier to realize you're awake on weekends?

Haha, cheers Thata.
Is it easier to realize you're awake on weekends.
Well, to answer this; we need to go back in time...
Kidding, not really! I don't personally believe there's a relation between specified days.
However, contributing factors towards awareness, may form patterns coinciding with certain days.
E.G: You always do your maths homework on Wednesday, and it keeps you up an extra two hours. So, you lose two hours worth of sleep.
Just reiterating though, days are essentially all the same. The only things that would affect your awareness would be: Sleep, environment, health etc.

Also - thread is now running at full steam again. Back to normal! Ask away, or just tell me how it's going

Hope you feel better already, Yuppie

I seem to have trouble doing DEILD when I sleep late. When I wake up, I just feel like going back to sleep and not try. I'll try sleeping early in the next few days, when I can, and work on this. At least I'm more aware of my waking phase now.

By the way, how many hours of sleep would you suggest to get the best results? I was working before on 1.5, 3, and 6 hours

Thanx ^_^

Quietness - Thanks heaps, first of all
Yeah, sleep is a huge factor in every single lucid dreaming method.
Even past the purely scientific factors, such as hitting REM; the amount of sleep you get drastically dictates your attitude towards lucid dreaming.
Look, essentially; if you think about it, sleep is designed purely for rest, and to allow your brain to store memories, and get itself into order. It's just the core of it.
You're just going to be wired, to predominantly desire sleep, if you're not getting an adequate amount of it. So, as you resolved, it'd be exceedingly beneficial, for you to get more sleep in general.
I'd recommend as much sleep as you can get. Even if say.. 8 hours was sufficient for hitting REM, and a decent rest period, the longer you sleep, the more opportunities you'll have to attempt to DEILD.

No activity makes Nathan a sad panda.

I hereby declare this thread as dead.

Just kidding I have been continuing my DEILD practice as well. I didn't catch much sleep in the past week, but I had some success before that. I've said it before, but I feel like I keep getting closer to getting the hang of it.

Spy guy - My heart exploded into a million pieces as I read that
Yeah, well there's not much else to do but persist and keep at it! You get closer with every day
Please tell me how it goes ;3
Dutchraptor -link is broken

Here's a bright side to DEILD I just found.
I had used a new mp3 player and sleep phones with a sleep hypnosis recording followed by very faint binaurals on it and against all odds after fidgeting most of the way thru it she put me to sleep anyways, I did not realize the thing had a repeat function and 79 minutes later a womans voice said "Hello" in a flash of green lightning and scared the bejabbers out of me.
I laid there not having any recall after being startled awake and by some stroke of fate fell back into a DEILD which continued the previous dream and saved the day for recall.

Hahahaha!
That's not good at all man
Please ensure you tell me about your future ventures!
Dutchraptor- Dat comment edit
I'm glad you know that feel though!

I DEILD occasionally, my mindset just isn't what it used to be! :/

I have a LOT more DILDs now than anything, I average about 1 lucid per week but when I actually do my reality checks daily, I have about 4-7 a week.

I'm happy for you. Azul. Some techniques just aren't for everyone, I guess
