Sageous,

Sorry to bother you again.

As WILD still isn’t going so well I have decided to try doing ‘The Other WILD’ (DEILD). I used autosuggestion to remember to stay still upon awakening and have managed to do this on a few occasions. Upon awakening, I would imagine being back in the dream I’ve just come from, or would try to create a new one, however, I can never seem to get back into the dream and have waited sometimes up to 30 minutes without anything happening. Usually I would just get tired of waiting before eventually just changing sleeping position and going back to sleep normally. Sometimes it feels as if I’m trying to do a regular WILD. Is there something I’m not doing right about DEILD?

Also, if a REM period ends and you awaken from a dream, does that mean you have to wait a while in NREM sleep until another REM period comes along so you can enter a dream again?

Thanks for your time.
