Thanks for the technique, yuppie! It's funny how sometimes just a small difference in the way you approach lucid dreams can have a dramatic impact on your success. So do you usually remain conscious as your body falls back asleep, or have you trained yourself to spontaneously realize you're dreaming after a dream has started?
Hey Nift! Nice to meet you, and thanks for dropping by. :)
Generally, the idea of DEILD is to remain aware as you fall asleep, so you essentially enter your dream conscious and lucid.
It seems like a strange concept, but once you accomplish it, you just honestly understand far better than anyone could attempt to teach you.
Okay, I just wasn't sure if WILD was what you predominantly used when going back to sleep. That's exactly what happened when I used this technique yesterday (one of the only times I've ever fallen asleep consciously). I'm looking forward to practicing this and getting better at it.
Last night i was able to wake up, but im not sure whether i woke up immediately after a dream or after my REM stopped (though it's not my last REM)
i was able to stay still and keep observing the blackness of my eyelid. Strange feeling progressively from bottom feet to head, but i was getting too excited and failed (my heart pumps fast). So i wanna ask you some questions :
Do i have to woke up immediately after a dream or is it okay if i woke up in between my REM cycles?
How do i get rid my 'excited' feeling?
Thanks :lol:
I wish I had those problems... :PQuote:

Woo-Hooooo, :woohoo:
I got a green dot like Yuppie now....
I think I do this naturally sometimes. I'm pretty lazy being a teenager and can stay in bed till about 4pm on sundays. I take valerian to help me sleep and apparently it causes vivid dreams, and as I sleep so long I remember a lot more dreams. When I wake up from them I tend to be lazy and don't want to get up so I go back to sleep and spend hours in some kind of comatose half sleep state, having dreams.
Good job on being and asshole, but you forgot your apostrophe for 'won't.'Quote:

Noobies, Always the same.......
Where you gone to anyways, Every time you take off my dreams do too, Now no matter how I plan and practice I go to sleep thinking of one thing and wake up working on that damn truck, And warm weather was possa improve things but last night it froze in June...Crap !
Roddal - Hey man!
I know you're probably searching for an in-depth answer, but it'll honestly fade away as time goes on.
It's kind of like doing ANYTHING that excites you. Once you begin to practice it more and more, the novelty will wear off. That's not to say you'll get sick of lucid dreaming, just that you'll begin to calm yourself as you DEILD. In the meantime, try a mantra such as 'I will stay calm' before you go to bed or alternatively just try to reason with your brain that you need to stay chill in order to do this. You'll be fine!
Bill - Hey! How is everything? :)
Sorry for ditching out for a bit, I've been busy with school and work!
Dude, it's Winter here, and it's god damn freezing :P
Anything I can do to help you out with your dreams?
Also! Guess what?! :D
What?
(I hate to guess but at your age) :P
Hahahaha, no nothing like that!
No drugs or alcohol ;)
For school holidays in a two weeks, I get to go on vacation to Fiji! :D

Well... did you return to the mirror? :P
No, I didn't return yet, That was just this morning, Its gonna take some work to get back there again.. First I have to become lucid then remember to find a mirror which can be elusive and focus on it up close (a foot away) until it becomes swirly and zooms in and engulfs me and then I'm in a place other than this........
I didn't intend for Ophelia to wing me for it but she did anyways, I gotta wait until the time is right to pass thru a mirror although it's near the dark of the moon and what better time could there be :sleepmeditate2:
I'd likely snap out of lucidity if I were to attempt to warp through a mirror.
Sounds like a lot of pressure and stress on your 'body.'
Yabut, If you can do it the rewards are great. .....And you will get used to standing your ground against bad things and find they diasappear at about 25 feet away..
You can pass thru the mirror non-lucid but you will be lucid as soon as you see where you are...."A place other than this" :P This is the land of fairy tales.........
Try it in real time, In a darkened room hold up a candle in front of your eyes,Maybe a foot away and stare at the flame intently for only a minute, Then put out your candle and close your eyes and you will see a red dot, Concentrate on it and it will zoom in and engulf you. Its the same with a mirror in a lucid dream..Get up close and concentrate on a spot a foot away and it should zoom in and engulf you and soon deposit you in a scene you cannot help but know is not real.......
Hey guys! It's been a while, finished my exams recently so I have way more time now to focus on lucid dreaming. My recall has been rather good since, but still haven't been able to realise I'm awake after a dream. I'll be sure to update more frequently from now on.
Good to hear :)
Are you still trying the mantras and the studying of eye lid tricks regularly?
Last couple of nights all I been getting is lucid just before waking up and roll over to a DEILD which lasts a whole of 2 minutes..
This morning I was driving home in the dark and couldn't make the headlights work, The street lights were on dim and yellowish and I pulled over and fiddled with the truck light switches for 5 minutes without even once suspecting I might be dreaming and woke up to a DEILD at the computer that had aniimated icons running all over the desktop.. Jeez :P
Things have been kinda topsy-turvy around here lately.......No real fun stuff in the daytime that might lend to a mindset for a good dream at night....So all I get is daily chore related dreams.
Its so bad I dreamed I was cleaning the cat's litter box...........
LOL, that is incredibly dull.
Why don't you try something exciting in your waking life? Hopefully it'll manifest in your mind and show itself in your dreams!
I've tried mantras, but for some reason they just don't seem to work :/ and I forgot all about doing the eye lid trick! I'll definitely start doing it again
It works a charm!
We should focus on individual elements of lucid dreaming for you, we'll see results!
Tell me how it goes :)
I was about ten minutes from the end of a good dream for a change when a flock of old hen's cackled over the flowers outside of my window and woke me up and I lost the entire dream, They only seem to cackle when theres more than one but they're good old hens so I don't mind..I only know it was a good dream because I was laughing in it when I woke up....:P
