DO NOT attempt too many repetitions even if you don't feel anything. Repeat the following procedures 4 or 5 times. DO NOT do this at the start of your sleep - it will NOT work! The only exception is afternoon naps since you enter directly into REM.Ģ. You could also combine the practice with WBTB for maximum effect but it is not required. The best time to practice is after 4 or 5 hours of sleep. In fact, I strongly suggest users treat it solely as a DILD technique in order to use it in the most effective manner.ġ. While many users report successful LD/OBE induction from the waking state, this method is equally effective at inducing DILDs. Regardless the theory, it is utterly crucial to keep in mind that SSILD is not strictly a WILD technique. Another theory is that by repeated stimulation of the various senses in a trance-like state, we incubate our mind and body into the right condition suited for entering a DILD, WILD, or OBE. One user pointed out that the method shares some resemblance with the self-hypnosis method introduced by Betty Erickson, wife of the late Dr. Many even learned to induce LDs and OBEs on daily basis. And unlike some techniques that only work for the first couple of times, SSILD users report consistent result from regular usage. A large group of people, mainly novices, participated in testing the new method, and within months we received many hundreds of reports of success. We need a method that is as effective as it is idiot-proof, hence the creation of the SSILD technique. Same goes for visualization, breathing, and the list just goes on and on. Another example is affirmation - how do you do affirmation effectively? We all know that simply chanting mantras will not do the trick. For example, the typical WILD techniques require proper relaxation which by itself is a difficult subject.

That is, they all require too much finesse. While teaching lucid dreaming to novices I realize that many popular methods share a fundamental problem.

Update! The steps for SSILD have been revised as of January 2013. Also I'm not sure if this name has been taken, so if it was then please let me know so I can change it to something else. In fact, if you wish, you could label SSILD as a derivative of those methods, or you could simply write it off as an old method with a new name since the differences may be rather subtle. A little disclaimer: There are many similarities between SSILD and the other lucid dream induction methods such as WILD, MILD, etc.
