Did you go through that process?
Illogically failing? :(
It's so strange.
I'm supposed to do this.
:/
Thanks though.

Your signature says to "Believe In Yourself, And In Your Dreams"
Chin up man, you'll get it, like Dutchraptor did.
His sig. used to say "I'm this close to mastering deild" I believe, and he's really good from what I've read.
You just have to persist, don't let a few failed tries keep you from getting what you want.
Humans can do Anything they put their mind to.
Hell, I want to lucid dream so bad, but I know that it takes time for some people and I just need to let it happen on it's own, not force it.
A friend of mine that naturally knows she's dreaming most of the time, told me to just do it, don't think about it. Let your mind do the work.
I know this is a long post, but I'm feeling inspirational this morning, I'm very close to a long and wonderful lucid dream.. I can feel it. :)
Im going to include that in the OP once I have enough other success posts :)
Wow dude you're awesome. I get those feelings. I have one today, not too sure why. Think it's you and dutchraptor's responses. :) Thanks guys.
Yeah, I've heard people say that so many times. Let your mind do the work. Do they mean trusting your subconscious?. And she said just do it. :P Hmmmm. Thank you though.
I believe that. I believe in myself, and I believe in you.
This thread is picking up quick xD
I only just realized how badly I failed last night. I completely forgot about DEILD!hahaha
I have had quite a few lucids I recorded them all in my physical DJ but I am too lazy to put it on Dream views. The very FIRST time I did DEILD was by complete accident but it was freaking AMAZING at how real it felt to me. I had been practicing DILD via sporadic awareness and lucid results were...meh but my dreams were more vivid when I was doing the awareness techniques. Now that I think about it though I think you all should practice awareness. Self awareness to be exact. If you become good at DEILD its all well and good but you won't maintain lucidity if you lose self awareness. So even if you don't like doing DILD, the awareness training that comes with it will be useful even for a DEILD. So dutch if you want to add to this guide please say that practicing awareness in waking life will still be good even for DEILD. I was doing sporadic awareness for awhile just randomly looking at my surroundings at random times trying to notice as much as I can, but not only that I would then become self aware by questioning what I am doing in the current moment.
thanks for the great tips and download links for these alarms that can turn themselves off! ive got mine set and ill let you know if i have any luck! :)
Good luck Josh! I'm sure you'll be successful. :)
Now that I'm back on my sleep schedule I can't wait to try this :)
Hey Dutch,
This is an awesome guide, and I have been trying it out, however whenever I wake up, I sometimes move, but when I don't, I still open my eyes. I have tried mantra's, and plan on continuing practicing as I am determined to master DEILD and move onto nothing else before I am adept with it. Now, I happened to have the DreamZ LD App, and am using that to wake up at around 1am ( I go to bed around 10, 3 Hours). Now, I'm not sure if I should continue even If I open my eyes and shut them again, or if I should just attempt a WBTB. What's happening is I'll open my eyes, and then panic and think about my Body, which ruins it.
Any advice is greatly appreciated and thanks for the great guide.
Regards.
Yup, I agree. I still practise Dild techniques too so I can have both, and the best Deild come from chaining a lucid. Awareness is really handy to be good at and it seems to help almost every aspect of lucid dreaming, I'll add it in a whileI have some other stuff I would like to add anyways.
Thanks for the nice words :)
I'd say to move on to wbtb, but still keep trying to wake up with your eyes closed. The reason for this is that if you happen to become lucid through a Dild (thanks to wbtb) then you can wake up completely still with your eyes closed extremely easily and chain the dream.
Can't wait for the updated OP :P
Does anyone have the problem where when they attempt to drop out of a dream and become conscious to chain, that before they know it, they're moving, rolling, scratching, rubbing their eyes, ect? I seem to have this problem. I don't have conscious control when I first wake up it seems. It's like when you have poison ivy or a mosquito bite while you try to sleep.. you oft wake up and are scratching or rubbing it despite not remembering initiating the action. Not sure what to do.. :P
Lol ^
so i tried this last night, i found my self waking up naturally before the alarms, but even when i woke up i never knew how hard it was to not open yourn eyes and stay still, As soon as my alarm went off for only 3 seconds my eyes opened straight away :P any tips on improving this? Ill try again tonight, I just got myself a sleeping mask to help :D
Hey Dutch,
I actually did it last night! I repeated "I will wake after every dream, without opening my eyes and without moving" Until my mind wandered, and then did that twice more, and then I woke up just before my alarm, eyes closed, body still, however my dog decided to come jump up on the bed and wake me up to go outside.. At 3am.. Anyways felt amazing to accomplish that! I will be doing it again tonight and will post back :)
Blink
Wow, the one night I actually don't wake up do DEILD (idk why) I had three lucids!
You have no idea how much work I'm gonna habe to put into it, I've been putting it off because I'm on holidays and there is so much tips I can put in.
Keep trying, you will succeed.
Well done on the sleeping mask hope it helps, aint got a load of tips, just wait for the update to the op.
Ha ya that happened to me quite a few times :P
Omg I want this update so much now ahahah.
How did you realize you were dreaming? I haven't had a lucid dream in Awhile.. I just got myself a job (first paid job ever) and I've been working for the past few days, and before that I didn't really do anything in particular. MILDing keeps me awake, and I have yet to wake up without opening my eyes or moving, except for two times, which the second time I felt like I was being choked. Couldn't breathe so I had to wake myself up.
Well I think I got them because I've been practicing ADA by asking questions like "what am I doing here?" and stuff like that. In the dream, I don't think I really asked myself those questions but I got the reminder feeling to do it and I just did a reality check by plugging my nose and I found out I was dreaming!
I had an accidental DEILD last night.
I woke up after my dream, and I remained still but I opened my eyes, closed them again, and I found myself back in my last dream.
I didn't get lucid but I did do the DEILD :D
Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I had to share that I had my first official DEILD the other night!
Even though it didn't go very long, it was still awesome! I woke up and opened my eyes for a split second (ops) but quickly remembered to stay still and close my eyes again and then I waited for the vibrations to go over my body (20-30 secs later) and I physically tried to sit up and I was in my dream! To make sure I did a RC with the nose pinch and I did a little yay for joy when I realised I was lucid. But this is the weird part, it was dark in my room so I looked up to the light and tried really hard to turn the light on, and yelled out turn on! and was staring at it for ages and thought 100% I could do it but it never turned on? Anyway is there a way I can make my commands stronger while lucid?
But after trying that for a while I gave up and I yelled out "dream stabilize!!" and the room started to become much clearer and crisper, but then I woke up :(
Btw, this all happened with me just sitting on my bed.
But yes I'm soooooo happy with my first DEILD!
I'm trying every night but my alarm isn't waking me up anymore :s I've bought another alarm app with auto-snooze and am going to try it tonight to see if it can wake me up :P
Thanks again for the guide Dutchraptor!
