主题:Senses Initiated Lucid Dream SsildDefinitely gonna try this!
I'll post the results. Hope I get a LD
It doesn't matter if this technique works or not, when I can't fall asleep it puts me into sleep in minutes
After first repetition I'm almost falling asleep lol.
Hey CosmicIron,
I'm testing this technique for 30 days, and writing down results of each day.
I'm at the day 2 now. When I did the SSILD, It felt like I've been doing it for like one hour. It was because I think I felt asleep during second cycle and then woke up, and finished 3 more.
Later then I had feeling that I can't fall asleep, but it was FA I believe. And suddenly I woke up for real, still being calm and relaxed, I started hearing high pitched noise in my head. It wasn't distracting at all. It sounded like this: Zippyshare.com - hi pitch.mp3
I think I misread your post, and I started to concentrate on that noise. It faded away.
What was that?

This is not uncommon and you will eventually learn to differentiate it from real insomnia. As for the high pitched noise, it is a common sensation associated with phase entrance. When you hear that it is a good indication you are already in a phase. Try to slowly raise your hand (without using the muscles) and reach for your nose to do a nose pinch RC. Chances are you will succeed and you can just roll out of the bed to enjoy an OBE. Concentrating on it will cause it to go away and eventually wake yourself out of the trance. You can also try to observing it passively and raise its levels with just the right amount of mental effort, but that can take some practice. Anyway, you were REALLY REALLY close.

No word can express how thankful I am right now, so I'll just say thank you.
You know, I don't believe in some OBEs and stuff like this. Is that the same as Lucid Dream?

I tried the technic last night, no LDs at all. But I got a very vivid dream and I am pretty satisfied for just the first trial.

I got my first lucid after 3 days of using this method. Don't expect it working at first day
SSILD sounds better than SILD
Way more unique.

this is from your most recent tutorial available on your blog. is it just a recommendation for better chances or is it a necessary step ? also, what do you mean by few extra medium-paced cycles ?
Real Awakening: You wake up again after doing SSILD. You do a reality check and this time it is real. Do not despair. You still have chances. Try to stay still, and immediately relax your head, allowing the back of it to sink into the pillow. Then you need to perform a few extra medium-paced SSILD cycles. At this stage it is quite possible for you to encounter hypnagogia sensations. If not, just finish the cycles and go to sleep. You will have a much higher chance to succeed this time
my second question is : i have an app on my phone which helps me with SSILD. after each quick and long cycle it makes a quick sound so i can do it each cycle with more efficiency. do you see any inconvenience ? i feel like psychological time and real time are really different in the middle of the night, is it better to choose psychological time and just go into the trance?

That sound will get you out of the trance.

Definitely not placebo from my experience with this technique.
