great guide. It's amazing how powerful something as simple as awareness can be when people are attempting the DILD method. I think too many people get bogged down with the idea of doing random RCs. Keep up the good work. |

I've been trying WILD for the past 3 days, and it kind of teared me out. |

All hail the Lucid Dreaming Bible 'Exploring the world of Lucid dreaming'
WILDs= 150+
DILD= 50+
WBTB+WILD= 100
Total LD's: 300+

Empty your mind, Be formless,
Shapeless, Like water
You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle
You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot
Now water can flow, or it can crash
Be water, My friend
No problem and just keep working at it. That first lucid dream will come soon enough. Good luck to you, and be sure to keep me updated . |

It seems weed can bring a lot of pros with a few minor cons you can work to overcome. And yeah... I TRY to wait till 4:20... often I cave. xD |

This is possibly the best thread I have ever read. |

I've been practicing for the past few days, not much succes. However, after taking a shower just now, I was suddenly able to become a whole lot more aware. I'm using that high-level awareness right now. It's awesome I'll post the results here when they come. |
|
well, this method has given me my first lucid that i could actually carry out and stabilize, so thanks very much for that. but my question is about weed/dream recall. |
|
it seems to me like any night i remember dreams, it's only if i've gotten up and then went back to sleep. i quickly made the connection that since i'm high almost every night when going to sleep, that's probably the main factor that's affecting my recall. |
|
I feel like I can keep a very basic awareness of all 5 senses IF I am able to keep my mind quiet (which is quite hard for me). But I feel that no matter what, I will always be sacrificing awareness of one sense to be more aware of another. |
|
For the past few days, I tried (all) day awareness in different situations, several times a day. It's rather easy to focus on the sounds that surround me, the way my clothes feel on my body, the blood running through my veins and how it feels to type all at the same time. |
|
Yeah, that heightened sense of awareness really opens your mind to all the things that we take for granted on a daily basis. It makes you feel like you have been half asleep even when you are awake :p. be sure to post your results. Good luck! |

Ah, well see a lot of the problems you will have with ADA, is trying to over analyze things. That really isn't the point. You don't have to pick up all the words of everyone's individual blabber. You just listen to the sound as a whole. Hear everything that is going on around you, notice how the voices are different or things like that. If you are trying to overhear everyone, then that is definitely going to cause problems achieving the heightened awareness. As for your sight, see everything, but don't go looking for things to see. As you are walking along the street don't start panning around trying to see the entire environment, just notice everything in your normal line of vision. You can use your hearing and other senses to pick up on the events that are out of your sight. As for smell, most people have pretty good smell awareness anyway. It won't be hard to pick up on different smells as you walk along. Just keep the visual awareness in your line of sight and don't try to make extra difficulty by looking all around you the whole time. Humans are very capable of performing ADA in a busy street, it just takes a bit of practice. Its like an awareness overload at first. Just take a deep breath, relax, and be aware. Hope that helped out a bit. |

But if I don't notice anything in particular, but just the whole, isn't that just like more intense daywalking? |
|
Ok this is a bit hard to explain. The main things you will pick up on with crowd noise, are the different pitches and volumes. You will pick up on words here and there. If you waited at the end of a large crowd and stopped a "daywalker" they would have no clue how to describe what they heard when walking through the crowd except, a lot of talking. Someone practicing ADA would say, There were only a few female voices, one man seemed to be angry, another was likely speaking on the phone. A little kid was talking, someone sneezed, i heard some coughing as well, etc. You pick up on the different pitches and types of sound, but it isn't necessary to eaves drop on everyone. That would be impossible in a large crowd. You have to hear the words and acknowledge them, but you don't have to understand them or make sense of them. Does that make more sense now? |

Its kind of like you have to be aware that you are hearing them. Most people will walk through a crowded hall and hear voices, but they wont be aware of what they are hearing. Kind of like you will be walking through a dream, but you wont be aware it is a dream. |

Ok, this seems to make sense. Thank you |

Yoshi, I love reading this thread and your thoughts on everything. Can you tell me... do you plan on going further than just dreams? (Or have you?) Astral projection, OBE's, that sort of thing. Why is all of this to such interest to you? |
|
To be honest, I have never really had much desire to attempt OBEs or astral projection. I really just enjoy exploring my dreams and interacting with them. |

I can see why this is a good way to get lucid dreams, but there is one thing I keep thinking about. |
|
Hmm, I've never heard that before. ADA is a lot like meditation or mindfulness. Its raising your awareness to the things that most people take for granted on a daily basis. It certainly shouldn't cause you to lose your sanity. With that said, if you are practicing ADA and you feel it is driving you toward insanity, then I would suggest you stop. It seems overwhelming at first, but once you get used to it, it feels quite natural. |

It it works for you and you don't go insane, that thats just great. |

My version of this technique doesn't emphasize complete awareness. I do believe that, at least when beginning, it's a bit much to take in every single sensory detail at all times. And I'm not saying that it's not possible, but you have to work up to it. Also I'd like to make it a point that although is important to be sufficiently aware of the aspects of your environment, we shouldn't lose sight of the goal here. When using this technique you need to be in constant determination of whether or not your environment is a dream scenario. I tend to take the environment as a whole into account and passively determine whether I'm awake or dreaming. I'm always thinking in terms of, "Okay, this environment looks like a normal waking environment..." and I just keep my attention on what my environment as a whole looks like. If my environment changes, I quickly know if it's a dream environment since I'm taking the main characteristics into account. |
