Just thought I'd message in to say
thank you thank you thank you for posting this thread mcwillis
I read the book thoroughly a couple of days ago (especially the indirect technique bit) and last night I finally succeeded in waking up without moving. I immediately tried to 'roll out' but felt like I'd moved in RL so was worried it wouldn't work... but I figured the book said there's still hope if you've only moved a little bit so I attempted 'forced falling asleep' but couldn't quite figure out how to do it.
So... I remembered the 'mobile phone' technique where you imagine holding a phone. As soon as I became aware of my hand I felt a strange plastic feeling ring in my hand. It felt 100% real to the point where I questioned whether I'd actually picked something up in my sleep and was now holding it. I could easily move it around in my hand and feel every detail.
So I sat up in bed, looked around the room and thought that it hadn't worked because my room looked so real and I felt awake so I lay back down and went to sleep.
Now upon wakening I realised that it had worked. Last night during my 'dream' my room was tidy and it was sunny outside (even though it was night and my room's actually quite a mess

) I hadn't been prepared for such an
easy realistic transition. I couldn't tell the difference between reality and the dream world and felt no wierd vibrations or HI. I felt so awake and conscious and everything was so clear and vivid, totally different from DILDs I've had in the past
Thanks so much again for this! I've been unsuccessfully trying to LD again for almost 5 months now and have been in a dry spell for two years so this progress is making me feel on top of the world.
I really can't wait til tonight- I'll be prepared for the realism and hopefully succeed.
