Actually, I believe that having awareness in this context is just shifting your attention to your environment. So people are aware their whole lives; just not aware of their environment. You are not miles ahead of the human race in simply being aware, but you are miles ahead in being aware of your environment, in addition to being aware of the nature of your environment with respect to the properties of dreams and waking reality. |
|
Lucid after three days of ADA, I actually started to be aware of some oddities in the dream, reality checking as a confirmation. |
|
Well, I generally do anywhere from 5 to 20 RCs a day. You just need to set up some cues for RCing. Try to think of something that happens every day and would work to trigger your memory to perform a RC. |

I've been practicing walking meditation lately, which I guess is kind of like this technique. I've been having a more LDs this week than usual because of it. Nice tutorial, very well laid out. |
|
Awesome tutorial! Started practicing after i first read this ( yesterday evening), and i think i'm starting to get the hang of this. Thx for posting! |
|
No problem at all ! Be sure to post updates on your progress. It may help out some of the others trying, and/or I may be able to help you along the way. Good luck to you! |

I have been doing really well with this. I notice more things around the room. When I was at the gym I really noticed the whole room and was super lucid. Last night I went to a rave and lost it for the night. It was really hard for me to keep conscious awareness during the rave. It might have had something to do with the drugs I took Anyway I had no dreams last night which hasn't happened in as long as I can remember. It seems like its much harder to keep awareness when a lot of things are going on around you. |

Yeah, with a lot of different things going on, there are just so many things to notice. It would be very difficult to keep up the awareness at a rave. Sounds like you had a good time though ! |

My last lucid was that vivid that I have noticed the sun shining on the hair on my hand. Literally. I was amazed. |
|
Well, I had 22 Lucid Dreams last month and I tend to hover in the 20-26 per month range. So, around 5 or 6 Lucid Dreams a week. Yeah, the vivid ones are absolutely stunning at times. |

Read this the day before yesterday, tried doing it all day yesterday. Except for a few moments, it worked quite well Last night, I didn't become lucid, but i did realise that some things were odd. This technique is really something else, showing results after just 1 day of practice! I'll report back when i make more progress (tomorrow morning i hope) |
|
I also have to say that I'm starting to realise things are quite odd in dreams, no lucids yet though |
|
Awesome! Glad to hear you two are already making some progress. Good luck to you both and I look forward to hearing from you again. ! Just keep working on it and those weird instances will help you become lucid! |

Had an instant lucid this morning and another where I just knew it was a dream,but did not do a rc. I am realizing more things in the dream. I have been practicing awareness for a while now, but have recently been giving it everything I have. |

Very nice! That is cool your girl is doing this with you. You can kind of motivate each other to keep up the awareness. Congrats on your success thus far! |

I'm going to try this. However, I know it's not really possible to keep everything in your mind at once. The brain can only process so much information. |
|
Ah, you would surprised just how much your brain can process at once. Basically, you want to eventually get to where you are processing all five senses at once. You can always start with visuals and sound and slowly work the other senses into the routine. It may feel forced and awkward at first, but with time and practice you will have to think less and less about it. |

I have been using a version of this technique for the past 4 or 5 days now. It seems to be working really well. Before I was on a dry spell of sorts (for me at least), and was having 1 or maybe 2 lucid dreams a week. I have been lucid in at least one dream for the past three days, and last night I remember getting lucid three times. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. This is exactly what I was looking for a while ago, and this tutorial answered my questions about awareness far more thoroughly than other threads. |
|
Nice, those are some impressive Lucid Dream numbers! Keep up the good work and let us know if your success continues . |

I love this! I was also going to ask a question about weed. Like you guys, I believe my awareness is enhanced when I'm high... unless I smoke from sun up to sun down... then things start to get hazy by late day. (I try not to smoke till 4:20 on any given day.) |
|
Well, I'm often the one smoking from sun up to sun down . I've smoked ever since I first learned to Lucid Dream and it has never really caused any problems with my dreaming. I was high when I learned to Lucid Dream. I even smoke during WBTB attempts. I would say the hardest thing to accomplish at first was recall. As long as I keep my recall built up, weed doesn't seem to effect it anymore. If I stopped journaling for a week or so, my recall would likely start to suffer. |
