Deild

I am trying to DIELD but everytime i wake up i automatically open my eyes, which kinda ruins it. Can anyone give me any tips? And also how long it may take before i perfect it??

Have you tried setting your intention? What worked for me is I wrote in my DJ just before bed one night :

I will wake up after each dream

I will lie still

I will keep my eyes closed

I will remember my last dream

If that's not enough (it should make a huge difference though - it was all it took for me) maybe try wearing a sleep mask? Just feeling it on your face when you wake up should instantly remind you of your goal, and might even work that way while you're sleeping, to remind you that you're trying for lucidity.

I should get a sleeping mask. :P Maybe that will help.

Use a blindfold, it'll keep your eyes closed.
