Thread: Kraom's Workbook

Been trying out SSILDS as well! haven't had much luck yet, but i feel like i'm getting closer. Seems like you've had lots of progress with them(: when you wake up in the morning is it due to an alarm? and after you wake up do you go straight to doing your SSILD or do you try and become more awake first? any tips on them would help me a bunch, thanks!

I wake up after around five to five and a half hours of sleep naturally and do my SSILD reps. And after I wake up I check my phones time, after that I go straight into my SSILD reps, the idea being that you want to do it sleepily but not to the extent that you'll fall back asleep while doing the reps, you want to do four. So my tips would be do as if it were a WBTB time-wise but don't actually stay awake for long, unless you fall asleep easily. (For me I tend to stay awake too long if I'm awake doing it for too long.) And my last tip is that I don't use this as a method to go straight into a lucid dream but as an aid for the mindset of lucid dreaming. Like it says in the actual thread for SSILD, it influences future lucid dreams, which essentially it puts you in the right mindset for lucid dreaming. Oh and also once you start doing SSILD you might notice yourself having FAs, I have had an extreme increase in false awakenings ever since starting this, like CosmicIron said above SSILD is good at creating ultra-realistic FAs. So make sure you reality check when you wake up, and best of luck to you.
