  • 宇宙之铁：回复麋鹿迷了路：如果是纯用于木吉他，那就确实不需要这种了，弄个PA也就可以了。如果想木电都上，这个就是比较好的选择，因为有这样一个acoustic的选项。BlackstarIDCoreBeam也很好，可以同时支持电吉他、木吉他（而且有三种音色可选），同时也是一款非常好的蓝牙音箱。

  • "Habits" rarely get carried into our dreams, therefore, trying to develop the habit of RCing, self-reflection and so on is probably the biggest waste of time one can possibly think of. :p

    As for using a timer, I feel it may make it more difficult for one to fall asleep. The SSILD cycles are meant to be performed in a very leisurely fashion and they need not to be precise. You should feel comfortable doing them, whether fast or slow. The 30 second rule is only meant as a general guideline. The truth is, it doesn't matter. If focusing on one sense feels particularly difficult then just skip it. On the other hand, if it feels particularly good then just stay with it a little longer. The same "stay comfortable" rule applies to other aspects as well -- if it itches, just scratch it. If you want to roll, just roll... SSILD is very forgiving.

    Hope this helps!

  • 在所有的同类型吉他当中，这款琴应该算是最好的了。这类体型小的琴，音量和音色一般都会大打折扣，比如马丁的LX系列，而这款琴却似乎完全不受其体积的影响，声音洪亮，音色甜美带着一丝铃声般的泛音。另外因为它的指版的长度关系，其action相对比较弱，按起来很舒适，大横按的实现要容易得多。做工当然也是绝对一流的。可能的话我建议把它的弦枕换成骨头的，会大幅度提升其音色。附图是我自己的琴，是夏威夷相思木版的。我可以负责任的说，这是一把一流的木吉他，即使跟比它贵数倍的琴相比。

  • I think it is wise. SSILD promotes a relaxed approach to lucid dreaming -- there is always the next time! Doing SSILD will no doubt increase your chance of having DILDs and even WILDs, therefore you shouldn't try too hard.

  • Yes you should do them because they are the best and quickest way to help you relax. You can stop doing them as soon as you notice that focusing on the senses become very easy. For example, when you begin focusing on vision you may feel tense. There may be a lot of tensions between you eyes. As you perform these cycles you will at some point notice that the tensions are no longer there. The darkness in front of you can seem to take on more depth. When this happens you can stop the quick cycles and begin focusing on that particular sense.

  • Apology accepted :) To use SSILD with Indirect Techniques you take advantage of the fact that you, after performing SSILD sufficiently, are likely to wake up multiple times into a Phase or a state that is very close to the Phase, a "Pre-phase" perhaps? As such, if you perform the Indirect Techniques upon each awakening that's resulted from SSILD, you can easily enter the Phase. It's also worth noting that with SSILD, the awakening is usually associated with a much deeper and more stable Phase or Pre-phase than normal awakenings. This makes it much easier and more effective to perform the Indirect Techniques. The problem with plain Indirect Techniques is that one tends to directly enter full-awakening by forgetting to execute the techniques immediately. SSILD, on the other hand, can compensate this. First, you're likely to wake into a FA, which is basically a Phase (just different names). Second, even if you do wake up into the real world, your mind/body is still conditioned for easy re-entrance of the Phase, even when you have accidentally moved physically!

    SSILD can also be used prior to performing Direct Techniques to achieve much faster dream entry instead of trying to fall asleep naturally (or what Michael calls "micro sleep") SSILD cycles are much easier to execute than other mental exercise such as relaxation and visualization. Just repeat the cycles multiple times you will move closer to a state that's more likely to result in Phase entrance.

  • For staying focused, that's good advice... But for SSILD, the OP got it wrong -- one does not need to stay focused at all with SSILD. In fact the key to SSILD is un-focus and letting go.

  • With SSILD you do not to wake up too much, unlike traditional WILD methods. Try waking up yourself only slightly -- a quick bathroom visit usually is sufficient.
    Ssild, Had My 3Rd Lucid Dream!
     17.04.15
  • I'd like to add that I find Michael's teachings very effective and well presented. One can in fact achieve very good result by combining SSILD and the Indirect methods. As such, I'd always recommended his works whenever I could. A few years ago a "disciple" of his publicly attacked me viscously so we ended up in a heated online debates. My feeling was hurt and decided not to say a word anymore about Michael's methods. However, years have passed and I'm no longer emotional. Nowadays I promote his methods whenever I can, with the sole purpose of helping novices as much as possible.
    Ssild Or The Phase
     17.04.15
  • I am the creator of SSILD. Let me attempt to answer your question, concern, accusation, or whatever we may call that...

    First, the reason I used the word "phase" on occasions is because there is a lack of better terms. I have preferred not to use the term "OBE", and the term LD is a bit narrow in scope. When I read Michael's text I liked the term he used so I cited it on occasions. However, that does not mean SSILD was based on the concept of the "Phase" or even remotely inspired by Michael's works.

    There are fundamental differences between Michael's Direct/Indirect techniques and SSILD. SSILD is primarily a way to invoke DILDs. By performing a series of conditioning exercise, it prepares your mind/body for DILDs to occur. As such, it is advised to not expect WILD to occur (although they do occasionally occur during the cycles), and to fall asleep as quickly as possible after performing SSILD cycles. Michael's techniques, on the other hand, are all geared toward direct entry of dreams. In fact, if you focus too much on direct entry via SSILD then you will often fail and result in insomnia. Thus it is strictly discouraged for people to do that. Understanding SSILD is primarily a DILD method is key to using it successfully.

    Michael's Direct Method is basically traditional WILD under a new name, whereas the Indirect Method is basically DEILD. They are a practical approach/solution to use those methods more effectively, but they are not revolutionary and can hardly be categorized as standalone methods. SSILD, on the other hand, is a distinctive method is both its application and philosophy. For example, it promotes a "relaxed/casual" approach to lucid dreaming. It is one of the very few techniques that is very forgiving -- does not require users to stay still and focused, nor does it require the users to master intricate mental exercises such as visualizations, relaxation and affirmation.

    I understand why people tend to think there is similarity between SSILD and Michael's techniques. They both seem to revolve around the idea of "cycles." However, if you examine both techniques closely you will see they are fundamentally different:

    1. SSILD cycles are fixed: visual/hearing/touch -- that's it, and in that particular sequence. Michale's cycles are comprised of a vast number of exercises such as squeezing brain, phantom wiggling, etc, and they are presented in an a la carte fashion.

    2. The actions you perform in Michael's cycles are basically micro-techniques used for rapid dream entry upon awakening. This is different from SSILD's "focus on your senses" actions.

    3. Michael's cycling is used as a chain of actions to be performed upon awakening, with each subsequent one used as a fallback. Once all actions are exhausted and the user becomes wide awake, the cycles are no longer useful. In the contrary, SSILD cycles are used to deepen the state, almost like self-hypnosis. Each cycle brings you closer to sleep, and deepens the mind/body condition which is optimized for DILD or occasional WILD to occur.

    I won't get into more length with the differences since it is beyond the scope of this thread. If you like, you are more than welcome to discuss this with me in depth, preferably in the SSILD sub-reddit.

    As a final note, I do find your use of the word "ripoff" offensive, and would appreciate you do not use that liberally. While the SSILD technique was originated from me, it was developed during my online teaching sessions and later refined by hundreds of people on our forum as a collaborated effort. We had no intention to rip it off from anyone, and it was developed to help people for FREE. Unlike Michael, who monetized his techniques, we did not, and never will have any commercial interest.

     17.04.15
  • Sorry for the late reply. This forum hasn't been very active so I sort of drifted away myself. Anyway, to use SSILD as an aid to WILD, you have two options:

    1. Use SSILD has a conditioning tool in place of normal relaxation techniques. SSILD is much easier to perform and more effective. Just do lots of cycles and you will be in a condition that's perfectly suited for WILD or instant OBE.

    2. Use SSILD as a DEILD. After performing SSILD cycles you almost always will wake up multiple times. Utilize these awakenings effectively you will be able to enter dream state effortlessly. Do this: upon each awakening, stay relaxed. Sink your head into the pillow, then try to raise your hand, without moving your muscles, toward your nose. It may help if you also focus on your nose and feel the slight "heaviness" on it. Lead your hand toward the nose and pinch it. If you can breath, you are in a dream. At which point simply follow the motion and roll out of bed. You will be surprised how easy this is and once you master it you will have nearly 100% success rate with LDs. Basically that means you will have LDs at will. :)

    Cheers.

     17.03.13
  • You don't have to keep track of the durations. If a particular sense feels easy to focus on, you just focus on it longer. On the other hand, if it causes more strain then you should just skip it. As you repeat the cycles they eventually become easier and easier, requiring less efforts. Stop doing the cycles and go to sleep when you begin to encounter a lot of random thoughts.

     16.11.26
  • It's possible. The reason to get out of bed is to activate some motor functions. You can accomplish the same thing by simply sitting up a little. If you absolutely can't get up, I suggest you mix SSILD with DEILD. Remind yourself to stay still and attempt dream entry when you wake up next time. By doing SSILD in this fashion, you will unlikely achieve DILDs, but frequent subsequent awakenings are guaranteed. Moreover, subsequent awakenings resulted from this will typically be partially in a trance-like state which can be easily utilized to create conscious dream entry. Michale Radguda's Indirect Methods in this case can be extremely effective. In fact, the combination of SSILD and Indirect Methods can result in near 100% success once mastered.
    Scene Change Oddities For Awareness

  • You don't need to wake up fully but you do need to allow sufficient awakening prior to performing SSILD. The degree of awakening though varies from person to person, therefore you should experiment with the timing. It is important to note that it is unnecessary to wake up fully like the typical WBTB routines. For most people a quick bathroom visit is usually enough.

     16.11.25
  • I'm not saying DILD is unreliable, just the typical techniques used to induce them. Laberge's technique is MILD, which utilizes WBTB and is performed while sleeping, not during the day. You said it yourself very well -- it's "on-demand." Whereas stuff like ADA tries to sell you the idea that it can help you gain a high level self-consciousness and awareness within your dreams and thus make LDs happen automatically. That, is total BS.
    Sustainable, Long Term Dild Technique
     16.11.25
  • You are correct. None of these are sustainable and their effort to result ratio is way too high. In fact most of these DILD techniques are based on false assumptions and have no real value. It's a pity that people won't admit it and keep misleading the beginners with this.

    If you want something more sustainable I think you should practice the more on demand methods. Not the typical WILD techniques though. They are also misguided and won't give you good results. IMO, a combination of SSILD and DEILD will give you the most consistent result and once mastered, will take minimal effort to execute. In addition to being a very effective technique on its own, SSILD is very effective in conditioning your mind/body for a "phase" to happen. I'm using Michael Radguda's term here because I'd like to recommend his variation of DEILD which he calls the Indirect Techniques. These techniques will allow you to catch the many awakenings during your sleep and turn them into lucid dreams. When you combine them with SSILD, which causes not only more awakenings, but also more stable trances during these awakenings, you will have a much higher chance to become lucid. This combination, if mastered, can literally give you 100% success rate with minimal effort.
    Sustainable, Long Term Dild Technique
     16.11.25
  • It is okay but may cause unnecessary strain. The quick cycles can put you near a trance very quickly. You will know you are near a trance because staring behind your eyelids becomes much more effortless. The darkness will start to form depth. Without the quick cycles you may end up straining you eye muscles too much.
    Ssild Without The Mini Cycles
     16.11.24
  • SSILD combined with DEILD (particularly Michael Radguda's variation), given some practice, will give you near 100% success rate. It is much more effective and effortless than the meditation/mindfulness/ADA/reflection/RC (and many more "traditional" methods that require you spend countless hours during the day) crap.

  • Let me clarify it a little more. With this kind of method you have to perform them everyday for the effect, if any, to last. This if employed solely as a mean to induce LDs they are not way too much work. Of course if you think it's something that has other benefits then by all means do them. My opinion on these methods are solely based on the context of lucid dreaming.

  • ADA is completely useless. Mindfulness works to some degree. Both are not very effective methods as far as lucid dream induction technique goes. You can achieve much more frequent LDs via other more direct methods, and in contrary to common belief, ADA/mindfulness has NO lasting effect. With reduced level of intentions to lucid dreaming their effect will diminish very quickly over time. They are also much harder to maintain over long period of time (I'm just saying this on behalf of average users). In all, the effort you have to spend to make these methods to "somewhat" work is very high, while the result will always be lacking. As for increasing vividness of dreams, I don't know if it can be proven. Even if it actually does, same result can be more easily achieved via dream journaling or cartography.

    IMO, a beginner is much better served to go with combinations of WBTB and other more direct methods such as FILD, MILD, DELD (Michael Radguda's Indirect Methods are even more superior) or SSILD.

  • It's a very subtle state of mind that borders on real awakening. Slight shift in focus will result in waking in real life, or the other side -- dream. This state can be observed frequently with training, and can be utilized for extremely rapid dream entry. It is one of the most fascinating state of the mind. No, it's not an FA, by the way. But it can be easily extended into one.
    What Is This, And Can I Use It
     16.11.16
  • Yes it happens, although it's mainly due to your mind pulling a trick on you. On the other hand, lucid dreaming CAN be tiring and raises the temperature in the brain. Taking a break now and then is a good idea.

    Scene Change Oddities For Awareness
     16.11.15
  • Congrats. I suggest you, however, to investigate more into your sleep schedules and mind/body conditions, which were, IMO, the main causes for the success. This kind of sudden burst in success is not uncommon during one's lucid dreaming practice, but they are typically associated with some changes in one's sleep pattern and mind/physical conditions. Of course, psychological factors also apply. These kind of success, if analyzed carefully, can help one achieve longer term successes. Practicing ADA and mindfulness helps you better take advantage of the proper mind/body conditions, but their effectiveness (especially long term effectiveness)are usually quite limited so don't be surprised that it suddenly won't work anymore. Those kind of techniques are mostly like adding spices to cooking (the proper mind/body conditioning is the meal), but people often mistaken them as the main causes for a lucid dream to happen. Without proper conditioning, most technique would fail. This applies to just about everything, including the SSILD technique which I helped develop. It's just science, really.
    Morty I Have Had Lucid Dreams For Th..
     16.11.14
  • Dreams are filled with oddities, but you won't recognize them because the brain's cognitive and analytical functions are suppressed or disabled during REM sleep. To recognize these oddities you have to activate your brain first. WBTB is how you typically achieve this.
    Scene Change Oddities For Awareness
     16.11.14
  • ADA, as well as most other exercises performed during the day, IMO are not very effective. Below is a comment I posted else where regarding the same subject:

    I'm afraid that may rarely be the case. You are welcome to sort through the ADA thread on DreamViews. Most of the so-called success case are nothing more than WBTB triggered incidents, and rarely the users experience consistent results, which is the promise of such techniques.

    In 2012 I conducted a survey on the Chinese LD forum, and among thousands of participants and cases collected (many of them practiced ADA, mindfulness, self-reflections, daily RCs, and etc), we had ZERO case of people achieving consistent result through these types of daily routines. Again, nearly all successes, aside from some accidental ones, are based on some form of WBTB!

    This is not surprising. Science has shown that during R.E.M. sleep, many brain regions responsible for cognitive functions are either disabled or suppressed. This results in the following:

    1. Lack of short term memories. A person who is dreaming rarely remembers the true events that have happened prior to sleep.

    2. Reduced comprehension, reasoning, logic and so on.

    3. Habits developed during the day are hardly present. For example, how often do we check our mobile phones in a dream?

    4. Low level of self-awareness. Most of the time we are just a puppet of our subconscious mind.

    This is by no means a comprehensive and accurate list of what's happening during our dreams, but you get the idea. One can train herself to be as aware and mindful as possible, but that doesn't change the fact that when the corresponding brain regions are disabled, none of these will work. By the same token, a Nobel prize winner isn't going to be any more analytical than an average person when dreaming.

    Through WBTB, many of these brain regions are activated. Now things start to make a difference. This is why a lot of lucid dreams happen without warning -- all of a sudden we know we are dreaming, for no reason. It's actually a simple explanation: dreams are filled with oddities, you don't need to be a genius to spot them, as long as your cognitive functions are operating! Do you need to be exceptionally aware in order to spot them? No, you don't. You just need your basic level of cognitive functions!

    To sum it up: for lucid dreams to occur, it is important that we wake up our brain first. There are many studies on this so I won't elaborate again. I suggest you to read the research from Dr. Ursula Voss whose findings are this subject is particularly interesting.

  • Upon awakening there is usually a brief moment which can be utilized to create dream entry. What you did can be considered as a varied form of DEILD. If you're interested in this kind of method, I highly recommend you check out Michael Radguda's work. His Indirect Methods are highly effective, especially if coupled with SSILD.
    What Method Is This (Awesome)
     16.11.12
  • It's all about where you focus your attentions. If you focus on your eyes, they will give you problems. You keep thinking about the bed and waking up, you will be thrown back to it. Keep in mind, you don't really have eyes in your dreams. You don't need to open them or close them. Focus on something else instead. Next time your eyes refuse to open just go with it. Rub your hands, swim, pick something up... direct your attention to other places and the visuals will come back.
    I Got Stuck In Bed In My Third Lucid..
     16.11.12
  • It would defeat the purpose. The beauty of SSILD is that you can do a few simple cycles and go back to sleep, then you may get a DILD, and FA, or in the worst case wake up with your mind/body prepped for easy WILD entry. With FILD though you will be constantly going back and forth between sleep and wake. And the physical movements will ruin those subtle awakenings which can be utilized to enter a dream state rapidly.

    Having said that, each person is different and SSILD is by no means perfect. Therefore I encourage you do try it yourself. Who knows? Some wonderful things might just happen :)

  • In which case you should simply return to bed right away while still drowsy. Do only a few quick cycles and one or two long cycles. Stay in a comfortable position. Do perform the dream entry techniques upon each awakenings first though. It's likely many of the subsequent awakenings will be either FAs or the more intricate kind of awakenings that can be easily utilized.

  • In such case I suggest not to get up at all. Simply perform 3 SSILD cycles every time you wake up, then allow yourself to drift to sleep quickly. Each attempt will deepen the effect and eventually make LDs/FAs to occur. Also watch out for strange sensations as you do this. It is quite possible to induce WILD this way.

  • It depends on the nature of these images. There is a good chance though that you are already in a dream or at least very close. In this case, reaching out to the images with your hand will pull you right into it. Of course, it's also possible to wake up by doing that. It's worth trying though.

  • Grab him and give him a big hug. He's your own subconscious, just tell him you love him. This will change him to something way nicer, and the grabbing action may help you enter the dream (assuming what you are seeing have not been fully realized into a dream)

  • It's the process of getting into an SP. trying to stay completely still is the primary cause for this. The timing and the conditioning through SSILD cycles contributed to the effect too. There is no harm there and if you can resist the fear you will eventually transition into a dream. It can actually be an awesome experience.

    If you'd like to avoid this, try stay relaxed while doing SSILD cycles. It's perfectly okay to physically move during the cycles. You can always compensate the move with one additional cycle.

    Problems With Wild
     16.11.06
  • When you try to stay completely still like that, your brain starts to suspect that your body has fallen asleep. The sensations you felt serves as a test. If you respond to it then the brain knows you are still awake. Otherwise the brain goes to sleep next and you will enter a dream state. So basically you were very close to a WILD. However, this kind of sensation is usually quite unbearable.

    To make WILD easier you should properly prep your mind and body first. I suggest you try the SSILD cycles first, using them to condition your mind/body, followed by whatever you do to WILD. This will make WILD a lot easier. In case your WILD attempt fails you may still get a DILD due to SSILD cycles.

    To Those Attempting Ssild
     16.11.05
  • Lucid dreams have little difference from normal dreams when it comes to memories of them after you wake up. They WILL feel hazy and if you are not well trained in dream recall you may forget them all together. This is a safety mechanism which you'd better keep and not breaking it. Mixing real life memories with dream memories can be disastrous. It CAN happen but the effect usually fades after a few hours.

    In terms of memories after waking up, lucid dream is different from normal dreams in one aspect. You do remember your intentions and other abstract thoughts clearly. It's simply because the corresponding brain regions, such as those responsible for reasoning and self-reflection, are activated during lucid dreams.

  • By waking up sufficiently you don't actually need to do too many cycles. The cycles can serve as an anchor for your intentions quite well. I think SSILD is an effective method and gets better as you gain more experience so yeah I do recommend it.
    What Method Was This
     16.11.04
  • The later type is definitely harder to stabilize and deepen. You should try to leave the dream scene ASAP during those. Do some quick stabilizing tricks such as rubbing hands, examining small objects, and etc, then leave immediately. Also try not to line up your body with the bed, so crawling on floor is a good idea. As for the darkness, transitioning to a different scene usually helps. In addition, you can also try to flip light switches. Don't expect the light to come on, but rest assured something will happen. It can be lights in the other room, lightening sun the sky, street lamps being turned on, and so on.
    Are There Two Types Of Lucid Dreams ..
     16.11.04
  • Yes it can happen. When we dream our brain is in a handicapped state, and we are at the mercy of our own subconscious. It's up to it to decide how we feel, what we remember, and what role we play. It can be very hard, even when we are lucid, to remember even basic things from prior the sleep. For example, if you are in a hotel and now you are having an OBE. Chances are you may not even remember the fact you are sleeping in a hotel room. You probably ride up in your home bedroom instead, yet you are fully convinced you are seeing the reality. Even when you try hard to remember your mind can still feel clouded. As you can see, it's very easy for us to be tricked. In your case, your lucid dream was based on memory that was replaced by a previous dream.

  • It's a common theme associated with SSILD. It's a form of awakening that borders on real awakening. Under this situation, you do receive input from the physical world and if you move physically the transition is seamless, just as if you'd truly awoken. Interestingly, this is also a state which you can seamlessly turn into an OBE. The best way to accomplish this is as follows:

    1. Relax your head and allows it to sink into the pillow. You can even apply some pressure to help it sink further.

    2. Focus on your hearing.

    3. Gently raise your hand without pulling your muscle. This may sound weird but it's actually quite doable in that state.

    4. Reach for and grab your nose to do a nose-pinching RC.

    5. If RC succeeds, roll toward your hand as if you are pulling yourself out of bed. This will result in an OBE.
    What Method Was This
     16.11.04
  • It's not so much about keeping you from jumping off a cliff. When we are wide awake we usually don't need to RC, we simply KONW it's the reality. And of course, any of the RCs will fail so there is no danger there.

    RCs are mainly used as a trigger for more lucidity. We need RCs to succeed in order to be assured that we are indeed dreaming. Once we go past that we are officially in a lucid dream and we can try to further increase our lucidity.
    Reality Checks Important Silly Quest..
     16.11.04
  • Lucidity comes from the higher cognitive functions of your brain. Without waking them up during R.E.M. it is impossible to achieve high level of lucidity. You can try practicing awareness during the day but it is unlikely to help you during sleep. Assuming such practice indeed heightens your awareness to a higher level, it's still not going to help you because when their corresponding regions are suppressed you don't get to use all that extra awareness anyway.

    Dream vividness depends on several factors, to name a few:

    1. The perceived vividness after you wake up. It is normal for us to forget our dreams. Even when we do remember them they no longer feel as real. This is a safety mechanism and you'd better keep it that way. If dream memories don't fade they can become very problematic.

    2. The stage of sleep.
    3. Your brain condition and physical health.
    4. The cooperativeness of your subconscious.

    During lucid dreaming there are techniques to make the dream more vivid, but this doesn't seem to be your question.

  • Maintaining lucidity indeed takes effort. And given that when during intense lucid dreaming the temperature of your brain does rise quite a bit, I suspect it's not something you want to do ALL the time. Fortunately it's quite impossible for normal people to have them that frequently so it's not something to worry about.
    Is There Such Thing As Too Much Luci..
     16.11.03
  • Did I say "anyone who disagrees with me is a liar" or even imply something like that? And where did you read that I call "those who claim they can lucid dream anytime are liars?" And even if I said them, which I didn't, how are they "the same thing?"

    It's easy to say "I can lucid dream any time" and no one can say you are lying or not. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not saying everyone are liars, but it's something we should be cautious about. This is particularly important for beginners because they can be easily misled and they are prone to hypes. I myself can induce LDs at will but I don't expect people to believe me. It's fine if they think I'm lying and I think it's probably better for them to be cautious anyway.
    Do Pros Only Use Wild
     16.11.03
  • Your conclusion is wrong. I did not call those who disagree with me the liars. For example, I'm not calling you that. However, there is no denying that when we talk about what we dream, it's very easy for people to exaggerate or lie, internally or not. Those who claim that their daily routines have enabled them to become lucid on a daily basis (even without WBTB) usually can show little evidence of that. Of course, this is not something you can easily show evidence of, to begin with. When it's at least theoretical difficult, if not impossible, shouldn't we at least give it the benefit of doubt?

    As for my statement on some of the established writers, I said that based on evidence. For example, if you read lucid dreaming books or books on OBEs and astral projection, you rarely read about "failures." Whether it is failure in induction, or failure to remember, or being tricked by the subconscious... to name a few. Yet these are the most common experiences ANYONE would encounter. Failing to mention them and even deliberately disguising them, to me, is a bad sign.

  • I beg to differ. It's science. During R.E.M. Sleep the brain is in a suppressed state. All major areas, which are responsible for higher order of consciousness, are turned off. Yes there are a lot of people who claim this and that, but keep in mind there is no better subject than one's own dreams to exaggerate or even downright lie about. Even established authors, throughout history, liked to do this. This is a field filled with lies.

    It's true there are people who can have LDs daily, even without intention and practice. But such cases are extremely rare and the reasons are not yet clear.

    Achieving daily LDs via techniques is different. Even the DILDs are almost always the result of WBTB combined with something else which wakes up the brain regions.

  • You can focus on either, or both. As you move closer to the trance, however, it becomes increasingly easier to focus on the internal sensations. Using a mask is fine and it may help you release the tensions and make it easier to not stress yourself during the cycles. Feel free to use earplugs too, as long as they don't prevent you from falling asleep.

  • No method alone can give you 100% success. As for WILD, please keep in mind it's a "type of dream entry", not a particular technique. Therefore we can't really generalize it. That said, most WILD techniques do tend to be difficult and require lots of effort, even for the "pros."

    As for DILDs, it's nowhere near 100%. No amount of RCing and ADA will help you accomplish that -- the theories behind these things are false. It's the biggest hype in the field of lucid dreaming. Don't be fooled.

    In terms of vividness, unlike the answers you've received so far, DILDs are usually more vivid than WILD. There are reasons behind this. To name a few:

    1. DILD usually occurs in R.E.M., which is a period of heightened dream activities. This results in the most vivid dreams. In contrast, it is possible to induce WILD at very early stage of your sleep or R.E.M. In fact it can even be induced without R.E.M. When that happens, you tend to experience very unstable dream scenes, or even dreams that have no sensory inputs.

    2. When we first enters a WILD, it is likely that we still possess a pretty high level of lucidity, which can make the dream seem somewhat more real (I wouldn't even call them vivid). That's the reason why some people with limited experience and knowledge of OBEs swear they have entered into some kind of realities. That lucidity, however, usually diminishes very quickly and when that happens it's no different from a normal DILD.

    3. WILD often results in OBEs. The dream scene would start with you lying on the bed. This notion that you are sleeping on the bed can be used by your subconscious mind to trick you out of your dreams more easily. With WILD it's a lot easier for us to be kicked out of a dream abruptly. Sometimes the subconscious mind just get lazy and puts you back on your bed and renders a black picture. This is why with WILD we should always perform dream stabilizing techniques and try to move away from the first dream scene as quickly as possible. With DILDs you have none of these problems.

    4. Depends on your state of mind and the technique, WILD can sometimes feel more like visualizations. It's almost like watching a movie instead of participating in it. The dreams are not vivid in these states and you are constantly aware of your physical body. Maintaining control during such states can be quite tiring.

You are supposed to do the cycles while in and out of sleep, but at the same time with some desire to complete them. When done in this way, combined with sufficient WBTB, it's very likely for SSILD to cause DILD.
