Dutchraptor's Deild Guide - Become an Ld god.
Okay so lately I've been aswering alot of Deild question's of people, I realised that I keep telling people a heap of handy tips and tricks which seem to be working for alot of you.
One thing must be noted, This entire guide is based on my experience and therefore can be manipulated to suit your needs. Everyone is different don't just take my word for it, go try it out...Experiment.
Background
Deild stands for Dream Exit Initiated Lucid Dream. During a dream your body is completely paralyzed (known as sleep paralysis), as you wake up, you will slowly gain awareness, along with this is a slight decrease in the amount of paralysis your body is under. By harnessing this state in which your body is already paralyzed you can easily re-enter a dream lucidly. All it takes is having the ability to wake up without moving or opening your eyes, an imagination and some confidence :).
Extremely Important: Whenever I mention sleep paralysis in this tutorial, there is no true paralysis going on for most people. Sleep paralysis is only attained once fully in a dream, if you are even slightly outside of a dream it is possible to move with enough conscious effort. The waves of vibrations or colours are merely side effects of the process of falling asleep and are used in this tutorial as markers. Many methods do not focus on these sensation as they are not necessary for the WILD or DEILD process but I prefer to use them. I will continue to use the term SP for ease of use, but know that it is not required to be paralyzed or even to stay completely still to enter a dream, I merely prefer to use this method.
For a proper explanation of sleep paralysis, read the following.

Pre-work
Waking up
Firstly you have to be able to wake up after three hours of sleep, there are two ways of accomplishing this:
If you wake up naturally thats great :D, unfortunately most people don't so how do you go about learning this.
Firstly you will use autosuggestion. Every night before sleep you must think to yourself "I will wake up after my dream", repeat this phrase until your mind starts wandering, repeat this process two more times and then it is alright to fall asleep.
Secondly every night imagine what it would be like to wake up from a dream, imagine yourself being engulfed by blackness and waking up staring at the back of your eyelids.
Optional If this does not seem to be working for you, practice walking up to an alarm in the middle of the night for two weeks, then repeat the first to tips.
If this seems like to much hassle for you, or you don't want to wake up every night an alarm clock might be necessary.
To do this you will need a phone, if you own an android or an iphone here are some links for the app you will need (only need one)
Iphone
App Shopper: 12,24 Alarm Clock Sleep Music (Utilities)
Auto-Shutoff Alarm Clock for iPhone / iPod Touch
App Store - Alarm Night Clock Lite
App Store - Alarmed ~ Reminders, Timers, Alarm Clock
App Store - DreamZ - Lucid dreams simplified
Or you can use the built in calendar app, which you can configure in settings.
Android

If you don't have a smart phone, you should be able to subscribe to a text message service which will send you a text at a time of your choice.
Okay so now you have an alarm which will shut itself off after a few seconds (So you don't have to move), after three hours of sleep this alarm will wake you up.
Be careful of the volume, it should not be too loud or too soft.
Imagination and Recall
Another important aspect of this guide is imagination and recall, it is necessary that you are able to remember dreams and replay them in you head.
Training dream recall is easy, all you have to do is log your dreams each night and you will eventually become good at it. As long as you stay fairly consistent.
Imagination on the other hand is a little harder to train. I suggest that every few days you go to a place where you can lie on your back and practice visualizing the following scenarios.
- A huge horizon-less meadow with a white fence through the middle.
- Your home, every room, explore the cupboards and drawers.
- Flying through the air, feel the cool air.
- Eating at a restaurant.
- Losing an argument.
- Playing an instrument.
- Speaking a foreign language. (make it up)
- Most importantly, imagine a quick fighting scene, or flying a jet, or being a gymnast. Anything to really get your mind going.
Another handy visualization trick is to imagine holding things in real life, imagine how they feel in your hand, how it reacts to the oil on your skin, how it resonates when it noises bounces off it, maybe even how it tastes??
