The DEILD Project - 90 Day

Day 11
Success?
Yes :muffin:
What happened?:
I had a long dream which was turning in an issue at the end. I became lucid and the dream started to fade (it was a long dream) While fading, I said to myself to not open my eyes nor move. I felt my body on my bed again, I did not move nor opened my eyes. SP came like in a second or two. Felt vibrations for another one second or two and went back to the same scenario, fully lucid.
I meet some major personal goals in this lucid. Will update journal at night, I just have the paper version :) I will update my sign when I do update the journal. But I asked to a character, "Tell me something important I have to know?" and to other, "What do you represent?" Got amazing results.
This broke my two weeks dry spell. I have been doing great at recall though. 2-3 dreams every single night. On the very worst nights with a 5:30 am wake up I still managed to get fragments from two-three dreams.

Nice one, Percy :)

Just an update, I'm still doing DEILDs (or trying). I had a successful one this past week, but I did not have much control when I chained back into the dream. I can't really recall if this was a DEILD or just a very short WILD, because I can't remember the dream before it, hehe :)

Anyways, as it would seem, I've figured out that the prime DEILDing time for me is not in the middle of the night. And I cannot wake myself up via alarm clock to do attempts. Chaining works best for me after about 8 hours worth of sleep. The best time is actually when my BF's alarm goes off, because it's something I don't have to turn off :P

Thanks Serenity!!!

Day 12
Success?
Nope.
What happened?:
No attempt. However, I recalled 6 dreams, 2 of them were lucid and one of them was one of the Tasks of the Year :muffin:

Days 8-16-

I was on vacation, so only tried to DEILD incidentally a few times. Had a couple of good DILDs while sleeping in a tent, though, and managed to complete my first "task of the month"!

Day 17 (last night): no success

alarm: six hours after sleep

Woke from an unpleasant dream at 5 hrs. 15 min after sleep, and was still not quite asleep when alarm went off. I decided not to try too hard because I just wanted to sleep.

Hope it's okay to double post, since we are supposed to update this often.

Day 18: no success

alarm: none set

Woke from a DILD at 6 hours after sleep and needed to write it down. Funny, I seem to have done things backwards. My first few good lucids were all DEILDs and WILDs and now I'm getting more DILDs.

It's good to see yet another variation of the original 90 day WILD project by edge :D!
I might give this one a try, after I'm done phase 2 of the 90 day WILD project

Lol, DEILD is too easy to make into a whole 90 Day Project! Like you said, CV, it's very easy as a method of lucid induction, and as such would be more appropriate as.... Hm, probably a 30 day method. My thoughts, take them or leave them, but good luck all the same. :)

To all the DEILD'ers!

I'm currently experimenting with a free app I found. It's not new to the dreaming community by any means, but it's new to me, so I'm testing it out.

It's called Lucid Weaver (once again, totally free). I believe it is also only for those non-iPhone's out there.

Anyways, it's a relatively configurable alarm clock that turns itself off! Which is pretty much the cream of the crop for DEILDing.

There are two settings. One for dream recall, which essentially acts like a normal alarm clock, but you can specifically set it to delay for a determined amount of cycles (4 cycles = 6 hours of sleep). There is also a "lucidity training" alarm, which basically works the exact same way as the dream recall alarm. Only, for lucidity training, it has extra alarms that go off. Currently, I'm working with the default settings, which is 3 extra alarms that go off 5 minutes apart. Once the last alarm goes off, it won't bother me again until the next cycle (or so I hope, I haven't actually managed to let it go off twice, yet).

Mainly, it is an alarm that turns itself off, which is what we like, as DEILD'ers.

@Serenity Have you posted a link to Crazy InSane's CAN-WILD method? It's basically what you just described - an alarm-assisted DEILD.

Isn't it easy? You wake up and fall asleep? But isn't that the beauty of it? Imagine telling yourself the same autosuggestion for 90 days! Your mind will never forget. It's the simple things we take for granted :shadewink: 90 days does seem like a chore. But maybe 90 days is all it takes to be a lucid guru? I don't know!

I want to try this project. Not sure if I'll make 90 days, I get bored :cheeky:

I won't be using an alarm clock. I haven't used an alarm clock in years and hearing them makes my heartbeat go fast. I hate them! So, I'll be using autosuggestion to wake myself up. What I hope to achieve is to learn to wake up keeping my eyes close. Quickly recall my dream while remaining still, and fall into a new dream.

I'll start my project tonight :D

I never did yet, but I thought I remembered reading something about this somewhere! I really like the lucid weaver. Although, today, it woke up the BF (normally, alarms don't wake him, especially since I keep the volume on it pretty low). What I do is, I usually wake up somewhere between the 4.5-6 hour REM sleep, naturally. Then I set the lucid weaver alarm to delay for 1 cycle (90 minutes). So for the rest of the morning, I'll have practice time. So far, I still haven't gone past one alarm.

Today, when it woke up the BF, I noticed it was 9:30 (or around there) and I really just wanted to sleep without being woke up again, so I turned it off.

Yes, it is simple, and that is the beauty of it - that it can be done so fluently and so frequently by those who try it. And, I've been telling myself the same autosuggestion for 20 days, that's why I don't get lucid so often, 'cause sometimes I need a break from it. (See my post in the SoL blog.) :P
You can be a lucid guru in less than, equal to, or more than 90 days. Depends on what you define as a guru.

Autosuggestions can be hard sometimes, that is, if you get bored of it :whyme: Im starting to think a visualization of something you really want to dream about is maybe more effective than an autosuggestion, but only if the visualization makes you MORE excited about dreaming

I've been restless a lot lately because of stuff at home. I wanna retry this project though tonight. For how long? Hmmm...I'll measure success with a solid week of DEILD :cheeky:

And thanks for the link, I hate setting up too many dream goals

Sounds cool, I'll try when I get home from my vacation in a week.

Im going to join this plan. Since you only have to wake up from a short alarm, you dont have to do much...

Day 1!
Success?!
Nope.
What happened?
Didnt wake up from lucidweaver neither from my PSP, and failed to chain a dream which I became lucid at the end :SSS
