The DEILD Project - 90 Day

[ClearView]

Greetings. The 90 Day WILD project is a very popular project. However, I know a lot of people have problems WILDing, and it is a very difficult task. I myself do enjoy WILDing, but I think a DEILD has a higher chance of success, and is a ton easier to do. For those of you who aren't familiar with the 90 day project, you post your results in this thread every day for 90 days.. Join me in my DEILD Project, and good luck folks! Have fun, -CV

Day 1: My alarm woke me at 3:30, and I waited a minute for it to turn off. I layed still the entire time and I started to feel numb. However, I hear a crash outside, and I open my window. Somehow, and for some reason, my neighbors car was stolen, and when he came out he slammed the door and it made me jump. -CV

I'd like to join this. Sounds pretty good.

[superx]

i like it... will start from sunday..

I'm currently doing a 90-Day project of my own (see sig!), but if it flops, I will join you on this quest! I actually *am* intermixing DEILD into my current project, because some days I'm too tired to do a WBTB/MILD, or there aren't enough hours to sleep I could post those results here, if you'd like, even though it wouldn't be under 90 days

I'll join, sounds like fun.

Day 1: nothing. This is going to take a while.

Day 2: Nothing..

I think i got really lucky, and i mean really lucky. First night, had an LD, woke up, did a successful DEILD, woke up about 1 minute later, and did yet another successful DEILD. I'll bet that this doesn't happen for another few weeks though, if ever.

I am currently abandoning my original 90 Day project in favour of this... Reason being... my project was causing me to lose sleep (with WBTB's) a little bit too much, and just thinking about it in general was starting to wear me out. I have successfully DEILD'ed before, so I think now that I have found a balance between recall and DEILD (and maintaining both), I can start attempting this method again. Day 1 – May 30, 2010 Success? No. What happened? I didn’t wake up, really. Garrett came into bed at some point when I was sleeping and it kind of woke me up, but not enough to try and chain back into a dream. The cuddling did though, lol. Sort of.

[Man of Shred]

i'm up for having moreLDs. i will try this!!!

Day 2: nothing.

Day 3: nothing.. Next time I will try harder. -CV

I'm sorry guys, I'll have to quit this. My family keeps getting mad at me for the alarm.

Day 4: success? Nope -cv

[Serenity]

Day 2 – May 31, 2010 Success? No. What happened? I didn't set an alarm, for one thing (wanted the sleep). And for 2, I woke up around 9am because the BF's stereo alarm clock went off. Nothing kills a DEILD faster than being lulled awake by the steady stream of loud country music. I don't even know what I was dreaming about for the previous 9 hours. I am going to sabotage that alarm tonight!

Day 3: nada. (nothing)

Day 5: A mini lucid like always, but not from the DEILD. -CV

DAY 1 : Didn't remeber to wake up. DAY 2 : Woke-up but just drifted of to a normal dream I need a simpler method.. Plz if anyone could suggest me a DEILD method that worked for you.

Day 3 – June 1, 2010 Success? Kinda sorta. What happened? I had a lucid HI that I chained into. It didn't last very long and it was definitely only an HI. Didn't feel all stable like a dream. I did manage to chain back into a real dream, later on from that, but it I forgot to remind myself that it was a dream, so while the chain was good, it wasn't lucid. One problem I found out of today was... the periods between waking up and falling back to sleep were very long (for a DEILD.... it really shouldn't be more than 30 seconds to a minute... this was taking a few minutes). I wasn't intending on making notes when I woke up each time. I intended to recall the dream, yes, so I could chain back into it... but I just hovered in recall and didn't fall back to sleep, so I gave up, texted notes and passed out.

superx, I use a mantra suggestion to wake up after each dream. Usually works for me, and I end up waking up a few times during the night. For the DEILD itself, I try to focus on something about the dream... usually what the exact last scene was that I just woke up from. As I'm thinking about it, falling back to sleep, I keep a reminder in the back of my head that this was a dream I just woke up from. I've only DEILD'ed a few times, but that's how I've done it before that's worked for me.
