Ssild Test 30 Days

Day 1 I did the SSILD when I went to bed (because it was always relaxing me a lot) and with WBTB. So I did the SSILD when I wen to bed, and I felt so damn good. I didn't want to move anything. And something weird happened. Sometimes I was gaining consciousness out of nothing. Like I was lying there for few minutes without consciousness, and them bam, I'm aware. I had a lot of hypnic jerks. My mind was thinking at it's own, just random thoughts. I was imagining some weird kicks and I had a hypnic jerk then xD. Then I was feeling some really weird feeling: I became aware out of nothing, and started feeling like I was spinning in space. It felt good, I was spinning and falling at medium speed. I was feeling like it sucks me into something. As I realized it, after like 10 seconds it gone away. I don't know what it was lol. WBTB: I woke up, felt really sleepy. I've drinked a glass of water, I went to toilet, and went back to bed. I did the SSILD 4 times, but it felt a bit different than I was doing it before sleep. I was like more aware. Then it felt like I couldn't fall asleep. I was lying there for like years. But then my alarm ringed It was FA, I believe. Well, that's the end. Lucids: 0 FAs: 1

While i had no success at bedtime, i woke up about 5 hours into sleep. I went to the bathroom, drank some water and returned to the sheets. After what felt like 5-6 reps, i think i dosed off, suddenly finding myself wide awake again... Only this time, i could not fall asleep (dream). I felt like i was laying there for 40 min and then, I was suddenly jolted awake 2 hours later (real time). I feel bad for getting tricked like that. :'( So you had a FA? I had it too If we practice SSILD, we have to know how to detect FAs, because there will be TONS of them.

Day 2 Not much to say. Few cool things happened though. First was that when I was doing the SSILD, it felt like I was doing it for hour. The 4 series took SO LONG to complete I don't even. I think I felt asleep after second repetition, and then woke up a bit. I don't clearly remember any FAs, but again, I had trouble falling asleep, which could be FA. I think I did the RC and it failed, when I couldn't fall asleep. I think I woke up then. I remember also that I woke up and I heard high pitched noise. It synthesised it so you can hear what I'm talking about. It wasn't loud, it was calm, and soft to my ears. I started concentrating on that noise, but as I concentrated on it, it went away. Here's the high pitch thing: Zippyshare.com - hi pitch.mp3 Lucids: 0 FAs: 1 WTF? Why is my post here? Shouldn't it be at the bottom? O.o

Originally Posted by Buhl: Day 2 I woke up after 6 hours of sleep and i simply couldn't do these repetitions. It only took a couple of seconds before i would lose focus and drift into random nonsense thoughts which suddenly led me to regain counsciousness and start over. After trying for what seemed like an hour i drifted off to sleep. I do have a faint memory of waking up and reading in my journal which i think could be a FA, but for the sake of this test, i will not include FAs without a clear memory of it happening. Lucids: 0 FAs: 1 -------- You should get out of the bed, go to bathroom, drink a glass of water, read a book until you can read it easily, then do the SSILD. Imma going for day 3 !

Originally Posted by ryman: Cool results so far seems like we're all making good progress. DAY 2: After getting out of work I was really tired so it wasn't too hard fall asleep. I laid down and manage to get maybe 2 or 3 repetitions before I drifted off to sleep, didn't have a chance for WBTB part this time, but I did have 2 very long vivid dreams. Which is definitely a good sign(basically redirecting my dream recall very fast.) I will try again tonight with a WBTB thrown in. -------- 1. The best time to practice is after 4 or 5 hours of sleep. You could also combine the practice with WBTB for maximum effect but it is not required. DO NOT do this at the start of your sleep -- it will NOT work! -------- Yeah

Originally Posted by ryman: I do it at the start of my sleep to keep me thinking about it before i go to sleep, also it helps me fall asleep faster. -------- Ah, I know what you mean. I want to update something in my day 2, I asked CosmicIron and he explained me that I was really close! When I was doing the cycles, I fell asleep during second cycle, and continued doing them in FA! That's why it felt so long. Then, the high pitched noise I was hearing, was the phase entrance or something like that. Because I misread cosmiciron's post, I started to concentrate on it and it faded away, I should just passively listen to it, wait as it increases it's volume, and then do a subtle RC.

Day 3 (Actually day 4, but at day 3 I felt instantly into sleep and didn't do SSILD) Finally success! Lucid! Well, it was pretty much nightmare lucid, but still it was cool experience. I woke up 5 hours after going to bed. I ate a bit of chocolate as I've read it helps with lucid dreaming. I went to toilet and went back to sleep. I did the 5 cycles of ssild. I got into small trance only once. After that... I couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't FA. I did like 5 RCs, because it was weird I wasn't feeling sleepy after 5 hours of sleep. I was lying there for like half a hour. Then, I'm doing the RC, and bam, I'm dreaming. I don't remember if I did the RC in my bed, because after I did the RC, I was standing in the living room at night. I started feeling really dizzy, like I'm passing out. It happened to me a lot of times. It's like anti-lucid mechanism. I got fooled by it many times. I was like, omg, brain, really? But I thought, I must do deild! So as I was leaving dream, I was trying not to open my eyes or move. Actually, I didn't leave the dream. I woke up in FA again. As I did the deild... just wow. Every part of my body was shaking, it was so loud like there is a freaking jet in my room! I was feeling sooo scared, not because of the noises and shit, but I JUST was scared out of nothing. I've never been so scared in my life. Well, everything was happening, but I was getting nowhere. I was like, heeeey, IT'S FA! So I stopped doing this, I opened my eyes, and it was gone. I was like, I'm not gonna do nose plug rc again, because something bad can happen again, like the passing out part. I used completly new and not-known RC: I tried to look up with my eyes, as high as possible. The feeling was unbelievable. I was feeling all that meat in my head and shit, I had my eyes looking completly up. As I moved them more, I was seeing something. Some scene. But I stopped. I was still scared because of that "fake deild". I was too scared to get out of bed. I was just lying there doing this new reality check. I was like, fuck this, I'm outta here. I read somewhere that when you close and open your eyes really fast in a dream, you can get out of it. So I did this. HOPEFULLY, it didn't work. I did the RC again, and said to myself, who's the boss? I decided to get out of the bed. Well, nothing scary happened. I left my room, and wanted to turn on the lights. I clicked the switch, but nothing happened. I was like HUEHUEHUEHUE. I wanted to leave my house, but as I opened the doors, I woke up. Well... yeeaaah. How can I teleport from my FA bed into some calm place? Lucids: 1 FAs: 2

Well, I think I need to stop my test, because I'm losing too much sleep, and I'm getting up pretty late to school. I had a MILD today tho, but it was at the end of my last rem state :S I said only few times "I'm having lucid dreams" and it worked, lol? It was pretty long dream and I got lucid at the end of it. It was a dream where I was lacking my pants I was going somewhere with my grandpa, then I was in my school having biology, as the lesson ended, the teacher closed the door, and I decided to use some WTF lucid dream induction technique right here. I started to lean on the door of the class with my head's forehead. The technique's point was that when I fall asleep I'll fall through that door. I don't even know this "technique", it was totally random! And then I thought, why would I try to get a lucid dream when I'M IN A DREAM? Hey, wtf? Yes, I'M IN A DREAM! I started looking at my hands calm, and then the dream ended and I woke up, because it was the end of my rem state.

Originally Posted by lucsande: I did lots of RCs, but they didn't get me any result. Anyway, I was also trying the "look at your hands" RC, which can be quite a silly one if you are dreaming of being in a dark room... :p Anyway, pretty interesting this thing of you having to try 5 times before getting a result with nose plug. I've heard this is the single most reliable one out there... Do you think the first four attempts were false positives, or that you still weren't dreaming? --------: The first 3-4 RCs were done when I was still awake. I falled asleep into a FA, and did the RC thinking that I'm still awake. I had an another cool attempt too. I did 2 cycles of SSILD, falled asleep, and continued doing them in a dream

I have had my LDs increasing since I started though, but this is the biggest jump so far. I am planning on keeping up the multiple LDs a night. This I recommend to add to your current techs. I do not know how it works alone. Day 3 LDs: 9 FAs: 1 WILDs: 2 DILDs: 6 DEILD (didn't do SSILD this time, I just slipped back in): 1 I'll start updating now. I like this thread. -------- These stats... WTF? I had 2 FAs and 1 lucid after 3 days of using... you have a post about trying this technique on first page, you were doing it for more I believe?

Originally Posted by Venryx: Day 25 No results this attempt. This puts me back onto 50%, haha. (I've been on the line for like half the experiment) Attempts: 12, Lucids: 6, OBE's: 1, FA's: 14, HI's: 2 -------- Well, FA should be counted as a success too. The technique successfully induced a FA, which could be a lucid dream. From 12 attempts you got 14 FAs, so it makes the success rate over 100% LOL

I was all like "Wheeeeeee!" And I took someone's advice and attempted to roll over and see if I roll into a dream. Nothing happened, typically. But there's something I don't get: are you supposed to roll physically or mentally, cause I was full-aware that I was awake. I don't get it! D: Also, every attempt at napping always gets interrupted by construction, my dog, my family, the doorbell... And I tried the binaural waves thing, but that just gave me a headache x_x -------- You need to be deep in sleep paralysis for that to work It's for OOBE.
