"However, if you are at the end of a REM phase you won't be able to DEILD."
Where in the book does it say you must practice as soon as you awaken from a dream? Mr. Raduga is referring to when you awaken at the end of a REM phase.
Quoting the Dream Guide Team of this forum on their description of DEILD's:
"In order to DEILD you have to have good dream recall. Not only so you won't forget your DEILD adventures, but also because you need to be aware enough of your dreams that you know when one has just ended. It is suggested that you have your dream recall at 10 or more dreams remembered per week before you attempt to DEILD."
Where does Mr. Raduga mention in the book that one must cultivate dream recall for Indirect Techniques to be successful? He doesn't because he is referring to when you awaken at the end of a REM cycle. 50% of students have a lucid dream or an obe over the course of a three day seminar like in the photo above. Do you think they all have great dream recall? Statistically most of them would have a very low level of dream recall.
Derp.
I already read that post, and strongly disagreed with it on the premise that the DGT is not the end-all-be-all decider of technique definitions. One, I've had DEILDs at the end of REM, so that invalidates the first point by counter-example. And two, I've found recall isn't terribly necessary for lucid dreaming as a whole. It's incredibly easy to recall lucids compared to normal dreams, and as long as the intent is there productive things can happen. Including recognizing end-of-cycle wake-ups. I know that's true because I always remember my wake-ups each night even if I don't recall any dreams.
Don't be so quick to make decisions and judgments based on the insights of others.
And please don't post the shame shitty argument again. You're taking up valuable internets.
I'm sure we would be interested to know your techniques for having WILD's in less than a minute.
Sure, it's called a DEILD, which is what this guy is teaching. The fact that there's been so many results is a testament to how he presents it more than anything else.
I for one know the stuff he's teaching will work, because I've successfully utilized most of the transitioning techniques in there myself. Again, it's a good resource, but to call this something other than DEILD is silly.
