One thing that has worked really well for me lately with DEILD is when I imagine myself back in the dream scene (or new dream scene, if this is is your preference), I imagine myself performing some sort of repetitive motion. This is an idea that I got from Xanous, who pretends he's riding a bike or running. I happened to be going for the Colosseum Task of the Year so I imagined myself swinging an ancient Roman sword. It brings in that much extra focus on your dream body, and I found it very effective.

Good luck with the DEILDing! DEILD took me a while to get, but it is so valuable to me now. Very important tool in my toolbelt, and a great way to understand WILD. The effort was well worth it!
Thanks for the tip. I will have to try that out soon.

I think I have started to grasp DEILD. I have found that using a mantra has helped help me a whole lot. I have never used a mantra in the past but surprisingly it has worked for me. It could all just be some sort of placebo effect but I think it’s helping.

I can pretty much get myself to wake up after a dream and when I do, I can remember to stay still and keep my eyes closed. However, my problem now is that when I do I forget why I’m doing this. Then, out of habit, I go back to sleep because I know my alarm hasn't gone off yet.
