Couldn't stay conscious in my deild

**Lucid121** · 10-10-2012 04:50 PM

As you can see in my previous posts I talked about how I was scared to do the wild/deild technique.But I have summoned the courage to do it.So last night I had a dream about being a part of cartoon called powerpuff girls,Its a cartoon where there are three girls who fight villains it plays in cartoon network,anyway,so I am in this thing fighting bad guys and I recognise that I am not really interested in the cartoon.Then my mom wakes me up by mistake,I go back to sleep and think about the dream and do everything I was taught by the deild guides.I managed to get back in my dream thing is I lost consciousness and the dream was not very vivid it was exactly like my first dream.What could I be doing wrong and give me some tips to stay conscious.

Did you move after your mum had woken you up?

Then your DEILD was already disrupted. If you manage to not move and nothing picks your attention, you can enter LD in about 15 seconds.

The thing is that I still managed to go back to the same dream,but wasn't conscious.

How long did it take you to fall asleep again? I rarely return to a previous dream, but I never do on purpose.

It probably took me about 10-20 seconds.

Advice for the next time:
Don't let your mum wake you up. Set a short alarm, that shuts itself off automatically after a few seconds. When you hear the alarm, don't move and keep reminding yourself that you are approaching a dream.
There tutorials on DEILD, you should read some.

So, you technically incubated the dream again?
