CSATILD: Long acronym but good method

[Yamluver]

This is a method of LDing that I made up logically last night. DILD techniques work best for me but the only ones I can do are where you do the autosuggestion thingy before going to sleep. And that doesn't work often for me. So I made up CSATILD: Constant suggestion and trance induced lucid dream. It workes basically how it sounds, you CONSTANTLY during the day give yourself lucidity suggestions! It's really easy too. And in the morning and before bed you put yourself into a trance and do MORE suggestions! You also fall asleep repeating the suggestions and keeping your mind on them as long as possible. It takes a day or two to take hold, the first day I got NO results but the second I had at least one lucid when I looked down at my hand and my ring finger melted and fell off!

So if there are any suggestions (pardon the bad half-pun) as to how I can improve this method, or any willing testers, please reply! I will read your replys but may not resopond quickly!

Thx! Yamluver

Sounds really interesting! I'll give it a shot as it sounds promising.

I won't forget to post results!

Sounds to me like it would work. I have a lot of success with autosuggestion. I think people often underestimate it.

What verbal suggestion have you been using?

My new one when I fall asleep (thanks to Naiya) is, "The next thing I see, will be a dream. The next time I'm conscious, it will be a dream."

Ugh, I wish I could try it, but I strongly dislike the feeling I get when talking to 'myself'.

That is also why I dislike telephones, talking through the internet and others, because 'outsiders' will hear it like I'm talking to myself.
And with Autosuggestion, I am talking to myself, and I just can't talk to myself unless I would be completely isolated from people. (And when that happens, I talk to myself and sing and shiz like I never spoke >_<)

But yeah, I think Robot Butler is right, and I'm pretty sure I've been underestimating it too. I'm sure this will work for some.
Sounds good, aye. I might try it, sometime. Otherwise I'll just look at others results :p

I like this a lot! How well does this work?

edit: I'm also trying this technique. I'm on day 2. I'll report back after about a week.

Thanks so much for volunteering! I hope this can become one of the more used methods.


The suggestions I used in particular were 'I will notice incongruities,' 'I will be lucid tonight,' and 'I will do reality checks in my dreams.' I also did a reality check or two each time I did the suggestions. That's probably an important part.

I had like six LDs this morning so it's working!

Edit: I didn't say them (the suggestions) out loud, I repeated them in my head! Don't worry, there's no need to look like a fool!!

[Maeni]

Oh. Cool. But I hear saying them out loud will be even better?
Super CSATILD then? By actually verbally tell yourself all the time when you can, and in your head when you can't?

I'm going to try it then, when I can keep it in my head.

[Yamluver]

Yes, that seems reasonable! Sure, you guys, say it out loud too! I'm really curious as to whether this will work with you or not!

I also realized that this method would work fabulously with CILD! (that's where you give your subconcious a personality.)
