Is this DEILD?

[Rothgar]

Recently I decided to try DEILD. I like DILD but cant do more than one a week, and that just isnt enough. Also dont know how I do it intentionally. So last night I tried laying still after a dream period. I recall my limbs feeling somewhat numb but dont think I was SP.. scratched my nose once. Lost consciousness I think.. Next thing I knew I was in a car at a stoplight. In my dream I was paralized at first. Couldnt move to get the car in drive for maybe 5 seconds, but then could move just fine. Anyone experience this? Was this DEILD or just DILD? Did my SP occur in the dream start?

If you got lucid, then this is DILD. DEILD is when you intentionally get into the dream... and since you scratched your nose, you couldn'tve been in SP anyway.

If you realized you are dreaming, then it sounds like a DILD. DEILD is, when after waking up from dream you don't move, don't even open your eyes (you scratched your nose) and you enter dream again, without losing consciousness, usually very fast in just a few seconds. DEILD is esentially a shortend WILD. Happy dreams

Well, if this was DILD then I've learned that lying absolutely still like that greatly improves my having LDs. It is similar to DEILD since I lie very still and dont open eyes. However it avoids SP (at least when awake). Although I dont stay conscious, I realize I'm dreaming since it occurs so quickly aftet being awake. And the reality factor was very high... so the technique of DEILD seems useful for DILD.
