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

You may have noticed that all my woman dreams don't pan out, Here's an example

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...t-seems-55945/

Well, I don't know man.
Without being pretentious, my future looks pretty bright.
Academically, I'm sitting on straight A's, I've completed a university course for Psychology.
So I mean, the plan is, that I finish school, get my degree, and then make bank on all that cash I'll be earning hopefully!
At the same time though, the future seems kind of daunting. All these choices, and whether or not my life will work out for me, and all that. I guess you could call it a young-life crisis or something.

You have a starting point anyways.. Psychologist with lucid dreaming knowledge should be a plus on their side I would think..
In my world nothng ever worked out exactly as I planned but it always worked our well, Hope as good for you

Are you still out there

This didn't get me any more wings but I thought you would like it. http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...id-romp-56905/

Hey Bill.
Yes, I am indeed still around. I just got back home after a holiday, so I've been inactive for a while.
Ahh.. a dream about sex. What a surprise
I see you've already got your basic set of wings!

And I just got home from the hospital from a long needed leg surgery with nothing on my recorder, I had some marvelous dreams but then saw how the other guy in the room could overhear them so no recordings,

I started using a voice recorder a few weeks ago.
Needless to say, it's much better than writing.

I figured you'd like the recorder..
I learned to push the record button with my eyes closed but with each new marvel comes a new problem .
Now I find many times in false awakening that I make recording that are not there.

And I don't ALWAYS dream about sex.. http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...at-frap-57192/


PS: Try the movie "Troll Hunter" for some good dream fodder.........

Why don't you perform a reality check that doesn't require a great deal of physical movement whenever you make a recording?
Apply a piece of duck tape just below the 'on' button, and cut some ridges into them so that you can feel them or something? Alternatively, I guess you could will someone to respond to you when you document your dreams. (e.g, like your latest entry about the bikers fighting, - "The club members began fighting" then you could mentally will someone to provide their opinion in order to confirm whether you're having a false awakening).

Also, being the cultured man you are, I sincerely hope you've seen all of Quentin Tarrantino's films!

Lucid Dreams have their place but there is no possible way for the conscious mind to equal the crazy stuff that the subconscious can get into..

Here's one you will like Yuppie, Its non-lucid but good.. No wimmen either http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wobl...ore-bed-57464/

Another reason I wish I had made it to Australia, What a great country you have for adventure.....

Here's one from this morning, It's not a task and it's not lucid but it's a good read if you get bored and will help advertise my dream journal... http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/woblybil/

Oh yeah, The wings.. sorry

Yuppie,
I just thought that being the intellectual type you might enjoy this.

8:00am "The Horn Mouse"

I was attending a seminar about the Horn Mouse presented by the Antelope Horn Mouse think-tank in Salt Lake City, These virtually unknown creatures the size of a child's fingernail live in burrows in the horns of animals, both alive and dead.. According to the Buffalo Horn Mouse institute in Wyoming most of these mouses are blind (Three blind mice) except for one that lives in the horns of sheep in the Rockies. This one has two protruding eyes that point in different directions at once and never the same place until it dies.. They live in tiny holes in the horn or antler and eat the seeds that cling to the coat of the host..In hard winters and bad times they can survive eating the pulp inside the horn,They had videos and reading material about it at the seminar and it seems the only danger to it is the lack of knowledge of its existence...(I didn't know about it either)
I was becoming bored with all this which lasted forever it seemed but the whole thing was so logical I had no idea I was dreaming and felt obligated to sit through the entire torture until I woke up.

Dude, that's so fucking creative. You're right, it does actually sound pretty legitimate.

How long has it been since you've had a lucid by the way?

Probably about 4 nights.....I did three tasks this month, I have been in the hospital a cuppla times and drugs got me off my feed but i'm back in swing now..
Here he comes again girls

Watch out ladies!

What about using a timer? My phone's alarm can shut off on its own after 30 secs or so.

Somewhere out there I saw an iphone app for lucid dreaming, To me they're just a nuisance.. I did however once rig a light timer to a light flasher with a plug in socket and a red bulb that worked with some success.. It was quite a project to set it tho..

Yep, I'd probably just opt to take the natural route - at least for the first few times until you work out the broader sense of the technique.

Thanks for sharing, I'm definitely trying DEILD tonight. But I still don't understand that part when you need to wake up. I didn't read all the comments so I'm gonna ask - can I turn off the alarm? Or that will ruin everything? And what about timer, does it turns off by it self? And for how long it will ring?

With an alarm you want autosnooze (ideally, so you don't have to move) or minimal physical interaction (just shake it), just barely enough to wake you up enough to realize what's going on so you can grab some awareness and head right back into a dream, hopefully with lucidity intact.

Pretty much this.
My Iphone alarm for example, I can turn of literally by sliding my finger across the screen.

Another factor is where you are on the spectrum of falling asleep. If, for instance, you fall asleep too easily and fail to become lucid, you may wish to use a more 'disruptive' alarm system so that you can focus a bit more. If you have difficulty getting back to sleep, make sure your alarm is pretty much negligible.

Yuppie I had a similar dream!
Was the blogger youtube guy named Matthew Santoro? And did you dip the nachos in some sauce?

Sorry, what dream are you referring to?
I can't really be bothered scrolling back through the thread

I recently had my first memorable lucid dream using this technique, so thanks yuppie! I have a question though... When you say in the guide that you feel like you might not be able to get back to sleep after waking up, what are you supposed to do? I'm a little confused on that.
