Awesome!! Am I right that this is your first DILD? That's fantastic! Congratulations on the milestone and on scoring it while on vacation (when I know you had your doubts.) This is really, really good stuff.

Heh heh, don't feel bad about not remembering Task of the Month right away. Keeping waking life memories alive in dreams is something that takes a little practice but you'll get better and better at it. Keep working those Tasks of the Month and you'll find that it's a skill which trains up nicely.

Hey, so when you tried to open your eyes after closing them and setting your intent on Egypt, what did you see upon opening them? Was it just the same scene or did opening them have bad results of some other kind? For teleportation, I'm a big fan of imagining the target scene in as much detail as possible. The more detail and determination you throw at it, the more of your mental energy gets poured into your goal. Keep trying!!
I don't have any format or process when I try to teleport...I didn't know that I was suppose to 'imagine my scene in as much detail as possible.' That makes a lot of sense. I have DILD before, but it was during the first week of me becoming a member of dreamviews and that was 3 months ago. The rest of my attempts have been through WILD's.

For this recent attempt on teleportation, what I did was really a pathetic attempt to teleport. I thought of my goal of going to the pyramids, closed my eyes and opened them expecting to just be standing in front of the pyramids...you know? Kinda like poof, like magic and I'm there ! Like I stated earlier, I didn't know that I was to help form the scene (I guess I thought my long term memory of pictures of the pyramids would just kick in at any moment and take me there). When I did open my eyes, if I remember correctly, I think I was somewhere else...like in another dream or maybe another dream was starting...does that make sense? I don't think I like DILDs very much because I feel like I have to do a lot of work for me to get out of the dream, but when I WILD, I don't ever really recall me starting a dream or being in a dream. Usually, I lay down and within a few minutes, I am already out and in the room where ever I feel asleep in and I can go on my adventures from there.

Any other suggestions? Thanks for your comments!
