Yup, I think I may just try put an alarm on roughly 4.5 hours after sleep and then 90 mins a few times after that. Eventually, I may not need the alarm and I'll just notice myself awakening after a dream. Hopefully.

"They're Back"
As usual summertime brings summer dreams, Much better that winter ones....

Santoryu - That's an interesting idea actually, and I can see it working. I'm sorry we've had to go so far in terms of completing the first step, but I really hope you stick with it!

Bill - How ungrateful of her, you ask her to write your name, and she can't spell even after all those chicken sandwiches you've provided. On a serious note, if you had trouble completing the task because your dream was being uncooperative, has anyone told you about dream control?

Oh-Yeah, Dream Control....... You mean like this.

8:00am I was at the town park parking lot with little round red bulbs called "Popit's" that were supposed to turn into lobsters cooking on a park stove and I went to the phone to talk to my brother and said I heard something bad sizzling and had to go and got back to the stove and Nancy H was stirring the pan and said it smelled like lobster bisque and I said that's likely what it was and we all tasted the shit and it had barley in it and she liked it so I went to get more out from the truck for her and the left side of the truck had been plowed in with snow and wrecked so I got in the right side to drive it out because it was winter on left side and summer on the right side and reached across and started it up and it went out backward over a hill and flipped over backwards and then right side up and rolled down the street and I tried the brakes and they just went to the floor and there were two brake pedals but neither worked and it rolled about a mile before it wound upon top of a sign with two legs and one had to be stuck back into the ground so it wouldn't tip over then I walked back up the hill thru town to the park to call the cops and insurance company and get a ride home to get the old green truck and fortunately began to wake up......

ps: And it's the better of two.....

I dont know about Yuppie but here's how mine are going.

I dreamed I was in Detroit alone walking at night with two guys following me and tried to call on my cell-phone and a girl came on and said my cell-phone was not going to work unless I paid five dollars for a city permit.

Hey bro, how's it going? <3
Long time no hear!

Um hi yuppie.

I took a break from dreaming and thought about getting back but still the same problems.
I am not doing anything wrong. I took a nap today, dream process as normal. After waking up i concentrated on a dream scene NOTHING HAPPENS i am thinking maybe this technique is not for everyone the best i've got is a simple vibration. Im going discouraged.

After waking up i concentrated on a couple different dream scenes and tried creating my own but NOTHING HAPPENS its always the same with this. I am thinking maybe this technique is not for everyone the best i've got is simple vibrations. Im slowly feeling discouraged.

The fact that you've experienced that vibration indicates to me that this technique may indeed be for you. We all start small, and a vibration was the first thing I experienced before a DEILD. What do you mean by 'nothing happens' when you concentrate on your dream scene?

The vibrations are nothing exceptional just the same as you get from first going to bed and getting closer to sleep just some tilting.

And yeah nothing happens i always hear a ringing noise in my head its tinnitus to put it simply nothing else.
And some flashing colors appear simultaneously, dont get me wrong tho cause its nothing like dream reentry and it disappears as fast as it came then blackness and i know i didnt get no dream.

Also exactly how long are you supposed to wait? It is supposed to take just some seconds up to a few minutes right, otherwise the rem is over?

Your'e just supposed to visualize and wait for the dream to come after waking up at night? Cause this dont seem that simple.

The transitional element of a DEILD can range anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. The important thing is that you ensure you're focused and that you maintain a calm psych. You can choose either a scene from your last dream (Easier to acquire without waking yourself up from excessive thinking) or you can choose your own scene (Subjectively easier to use because it's your choice/also convenient to use your desired environment once inside dream.)
From there it's a matter of thinking about your chosen scene, and just relaxing. Allowing yourself to enter the dream.
What do you have trouble with specifically?

I can confirm that DEILD is probably the easiest way to lucid dream. I had 2 DEILDs just this morning. To better explain, I woke up from one dream, then realized I still had 1-2 hours left of normal sleep. I went back to bed a bit later, and started dreaming. I noticed it was a dream not too far in, and started doing stuffs. When I awoke a bit later, I decided I was not done with the dream, so I went right back in. I continued where I left off, but didn't stabilize. It only lasted about 4 minutes, but it had decent vividness. I woke up again and did another DEILD. This one I made sure was vivid. I still didn't try to prolong the dream. This too only lasted about 4 minutes. I awoke this time and looked at the clock. It had been enough time for sleeping(9 1/2 to 10 hours or so). Each lucid lasted about 10 minutes in real life, but only about 3-4 minutes in dream time. I have this a lot. I am not sure if the dreams are short due to it being at the end of my sleep schedule, or because I didn't anchor myself in the dream well enough. Either way, DEILD is an excellent technique.

Thanks TahDalek, I appreciate the reference.
DEILD really is a great all around technique, I think the biggest pro is how efficient it is. It requires minimal effort, the biggest element is simply the practical part after you wake up.
Also, please tell me your name is derived from Dr Who.

My name is indeed from Doctor Who.

EXTERMINAAAAAAATE!!
Dr.who is just chill.

Lol

My problem is that i dont simply transition and i never feel like i am about to
I have a bit of excitement issues but i can for a bit cope with it. Most of the time i am so into the border of sleep and awake that i barely notice my body but yet nothing.

I just realised I have been using DEILD many times already, but not to lucid dream!

Weeping angel?

Okay man, I have a few suggestions.

a) Chill the ---- out.
Relax, and be confident with yourself. It sounds deceptively simple, but one of the best things you can do to assist yourself in lucid dreaming is to take a broader perspective on the whole process. You've said yourself you get excited, and it sounds like you maintain a slightly negative outlook on what happens. If you persist with that kind of view, it's going to greatly hinder your results. If you're going to attempt to DEILD, do it with a fresh perspective, and try to clear your head of any past efforts. Carry through only your experience, and positive thoughts. I know it's irritating to be told 'Just relax man' because you're eager to have a DEILD, but you have to do what you have to do. If you take this advice into account, I can guarantee you'll see some great results.

b) Affirm your desires and your plan.
The best way to tackle a DEILD is to know exactly what you need to do, and plan ahead. If you're having trouble transitioning, then think about WHY this is. Are you having trouble getting to sleep? Are you simply falling asleep without transitioning? Once you're aware of your flaws, you can tweak and adjust them in order to achieve success. Think o it like this:
A man wants to perform better in his annual running competition and come first.
He begins to analyse his actions, and aims to improve his technique.
He notices his breathing method needs to be refined, he needs to adjust his footing, and stand taller.
He takes these errors, and he fixes them. He improves, quite simply, because he's fixed what was holding him back.
If your flaws are preventing you from a DEILD, an you eradicate them, then there will be nothing stopping you.

I hope this helps. Please tell me how it goes!

Good . I've actually been on and off with my motivation for LDing lately, but I've decided to really focus now. LDing has been something that is important to me, but I've been neglecting it, and I really want to get back into it. I'm not stopping this time.

Well i know i have to distract myself somehow as waiting for the dream to come does not work.
It takes some time for me to fall asleep and never have i fallen asleep trying to deild after waking up.

But i am gonna try and find another way around this. lm supposed to be close now anyway.
Thanks for the advice im going to figure it out.

Gonna update if anything comes up.

Cool guys, tell me how it goes!

Very nice guide. I came here because I am eager and very interested in Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection. I will definitley try this method out. Thank you!
