This approach has worked pretty well for me, however, I am always on the lookout for new potential, and thus am switching focus onto the next avenue that has opened: detection of REM using the S+ sleep tracker, followed by brief awakenings, to facilitate many DEILD attempts each night.

As mentioned above, the Lucid Link app now connects with the S+ sleep tracker, and lets you script your own responses to the sleep-stage change events. I currently have this set up to start audio prompts after 3 minutes into REM-sleep, and repeat every 2 minutes (yes, it's quite frequent; I'll probably slow it down once I've finished the early evaluation). The volume is set to be loud enough to wake me, but not too loud to make falling back asleep difficult.

I did my first full attempt last night, and gained a lucid from it -- briefly bubbling into waking awareness, then letting myself fall back into the dream I'd just exited from.

Anyway, it's set up on my tablet now, so I'm going to be giving it a try for a few weeks, just like I did for this technique. I'll post my success rates every night, just like here, so we can see directly how the two compare.

Here's the thread: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...y-testing.html

Anyway, hopefully I'll get some good success out of this! I believe it has a good basis in theory (in part because it lets you have many attempts each night, by ensuring you're engaged with at least some prompts each night), but we'll have to see if, in practice, it has any complications that end up breaking that simple foundation.

Wish me luck!
