Thread: Possible issue to arrise with DEILD'ing

So I will, ASAP, start attempting my first DEILD's. But there is a problem! Most of the time, when I wake up at night, it is to use the restroom. Generally these time are the ideal times to try DEILD'ing or some other techniques. Does anybody have any problem like this or any advice to give?

Sounds like WBTB would be better technique for that period of time if the need for the restroom is the only thing that wakes you up. If you really want to DEILD though you could try mantra "I wake up after each dream" or somesuch while falling asleep, it can increase the chances of waking up during the sleep cycle where you can try to DEILD. Another way would be to figure out another good time period to wake up and use an alarm, just be sure to use an alarm that is nice and smooth and that stops automatically.
