Ssild Test 30 Days

Hi everyone! I was curious about the method and started SSILD 2 days ago - together with ADA. Yesterday night, 2nd try, I had an amazing very long lucid dream (actually I had 4 FA but I did RT every time, so there were 4 DEILD chained lucids! Now, there are two things that I am impressed about: first this is my first lucid after 3 months of no success and second I usually try for many days or weeks befor getting one! This was phenomenal for me - also the first attempt produced interesting hypnagogic sensetions and a FA. I guess it is the ADA practice as well but this was by far the easiest (and one of the longest) lucids of my life ! I will definetly stick with both techniques! P.s.1: I did SSILD both when I went to bed (23:30) AND after WBTB (05:00) and I believe the first set has set the stage for the second... P.s. 2: Thanks Cosmic Iron!

Day 13 This time around I forced myself to stand up by placing my phone far away from my bed. At least I did 2 SSILD cycles and remembered slightly more of my dreams than I did the previous days but I would not call that an actual attempt either... I'll have to get myself to stay up a little longer on my WBTBs. Attempts: 7 LDs: 2 FAs: 3 the amount of miserable half assed attempts already reached 7 as well

Day 15 SUCCESS This time I managed to give myself a good run up for SSILD. To wake up enough when doing my WBTB I scrambled my Rubik's Cube and put it on my nightstand. When I woke up I solved it (know the algorithms ..takes about 5 minutes depending on your luck to solve one). After that I went back to bed and performed SSILD doing several cycles before falling asleep. During that sleep cycle I had a very very long vivid dream and at the end of it I just realized that I was in fact in a dream. It just happened while I was thinking about all different kinds of things I guess. When I woke up I did SSILD again and had another very vivid dream but I didn't become lucid. Attempts: 10 LDs: 3 FAs: 3

Was too tired to try anything for two nights and yesterday I slept early, woke up 04:30 and tried the SSILD again. I did have another lucid but was tricked by a FA shortly after I realized I was dreaming. I count this as a L.D. though. So, 3 attempts, 2 lucids so far. Best method ever for me Apart from this I am 5th day on ADA - I guess this helps a lot! Two things I noticed are: 1.I have to sleep early and not be tired - crucial. 2.I have to remind myself to do a RT every time I drift and then find myself in bed - FA are very common with SSILD. I will definitely keep up at least 30 attempts...

ok I'm gonna do this so I feel obligated to report daily progress therefore I'll actually attempt to ssild every morning. Day 1 Fell asleep a little before 10 pm, woke up at 5:22 am. four minute wbtb. I guess I missed the 6-7 hour window. didn't sleep well, could it have been an fa? Attempts:1 LD's: 0 FA's: 0

Day 2 Fell asleep again a little before 10 pm, woke up at 4:18. 7 minute wbtb. throughout the 1 and a half hour i was in and out of consciousness i did the hand and breathing rc's. i was awoken at 6 am just as i was about to get deeper into a dream, it might have been the point where i stopped being in and out. but someone had to make the fish burgers. it may have worked had i been allowed some more sleep. Attempts: 2 LD's: 0 FA's: 0

Day 4 I went to bed at 12, fell asleep a little before 1 am. I set my alarm to 7:00, but the alarm was so quiet it woke me up five minutes later. 5 minute wbtb, spent ~45 minutes rolling and tossing before giving up. on the ssild thread, the creator of the method mentioned a technique where you imagine pinching your nose after you've awoken from ssild and are certain you're awake. i tried it but i never slept in the first place. i'll climb into bed at 10 instead. Attempts: 4 LD's: 0 FA's: 0

Day 6 (again picking up where i left off) I decided to wake up naturally wake up instead of using an alarm clock. I ended up waking up 8 hours later and i didn't expect it work anyway. Woke up several times after ssild cycles, did not check for fa which i must get into a habit of... Attempts: 6 LD's: 0 FA's: 0

Just a brief update on my attempts. Since my last post I had a very hard time at work with long working hours and most of the nights I was way too tired to try anything. During this time, I managed to accomplish just 2 more SSILD attempts with no success. I am pretty sure that the failure was due to tiredness and in the future, I will be sure to try the technique only when I will be rested and have plenty of time to sleep. So up to now, 5 attempts, 2 Lucids.

Ok I'm starting this too, mostly for myself to keep track of my own progress. I know I have done this for awhile but I don't know how. Day 1(last night): I did WBTB. I got up and went on my computer for WAY too long and got almost no sleep. Except in the morning, I got up and I was like.... what the hell? Because I didn't go on my computer. But I did. Probably FA or a not-noticed dream transition. It was too hazy for me to know which one. FAs: 1 Lucids: 0 Attempts: 1

Day 30 again no progress due to being far to tired and school and all the usual stress factors now that 30 days are over i can say that it has worked surprisingly well in the beginning.. but i couldn't even reach 15 attempts in 30 nights since school really diminished my motivation and overall progress Attempts: 14 LDs: 3 FAs: 3
