      Yeah, the idea is that once you get your awareness built up, you will be able to do anything while still keeping your heightened awareness. Really, just keep practicing and trying to get used to ADA. Remember, your schooling should always take priority. If you are having trouble keeping up with the lecture, I suggest you wait until after class to pick up your ADA training. Maybe you could just try a couple senses during the lecture, instead of all 5.

      Sure thing, I'll check it out. Yeah, it really is crazy how many simple things get ignored on a daily basis.

      I have been actively doing this for two weeks now. You can see in my dream journal how my dreams are so much more vivid and long compared to what they used to be.

      Awesome tutorial Yoshi. Also a great way to stay in the moment all day. I try to rest as awareness as much as possible so hopefully it will start to apply to my lucid dreaming as well.

      Something else i am starting to add to this is narrating what i am doing in my head. It helps me not forget to keep awareness.

      Better be careful what you narrate. If anybody has seen the family guy where peter narrates his life, it gets him a fist to the face. Anyway...

      @KingYoshi: I've been trying ADA for a little over a week now. I do find it difficult to keep up for long or on a regular basis, but i suppose that is normal just starting off. At the least, i have not gone a day without trying it for at least one session. I've found that it is definitely hard to keep up when you're physically and/or mentally exhausted, but i suppose that is a given. I'm wondering how you handle ADA when you are doing something completely boring and tedious. It seems that when i'm in that situation; there is no change in the environment. So there is no new sensory input. When everything is so static and unchanging, it is very difficult to keep doing ADA. For example, at my sucky internship, i was putting postage stamps on envelopes for 2 or 3 hours. Nothing new was happening and i was on the verge of passing out from boredom. I found it was very easy to fall into auto-pilot. Do you have any suggestions for keeping up ADA in those types of situations.

      Wait, so this can really induce lucid dreams?

      I'm sold. I'll perform ADA along with RC's every hour.

      Wow. Last night, I decided to try lucid dreaming again. I read your thread, and tried your technique for what felt like less than a minute, then I went to bed like 5 minutes later.

      I tried going into an LD through sleep paralysis, but I ended up just falling asleep. I don't know exactly what triggered it, but I was having a pretty vivid dream and it began to slip away. My body started feeling all tingly (this was either SP, or the fact that I had fallen asleep on my arms, and they were both asleep when I woke up). For some reason, I started playing the violin, and everything started becoming clearer. I was so excited, I started spinning for no reason (but it helped stabilize the dream), and I also touched the wall, and the tingling sensation started fading and then completely went away.

      Anyways, I had the most vivid and longest lucid dream I've had ever (even though I've only had like 3), so this is very exciting for me, and I guess it's thanks to you.
      And I guess I might have accidentally developed my own technique for LDing.

      I also had a false awakening. I was trying to switch dreams, and I started losing it, and I was walking around in my room with my eyes closed (I figured I was sleep walking), but I was still dreaming, and I had another LD.

      Yeah, monotonous tasks like this can definitely cause you to slip into auto-pilot mode. I would suggest mixing it up somehow. Maybe perform some strange hand motion every now and then as you are placing the stamps or before you place the stamps. Just do some different motions on purpose to break up that monotony. Imagine you are at the stamp placing championships and you have to see how many perfect placements you can make in a row. Pretend there is a large crowd watching and cheering you on. If you find yourself getting bored, use that imagination. Practice ADA in the imagination scenario as well. As you imagine the crowd cheering you on or whatever scenario you can come up with, practice your real life ADA. Sounds silly, but it will also help pass the time and make a boring task more interesting. The more you use your imagination during waking life, the more you will use it in the dream state as well.

      Oh yeah, it can definitely induce lucid dreams. Good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress. Posting successes and failure will not only allow us to help you out, but it also may help out someone else reading the thread.

      Thanks for the support, KingYoshi. I'm relatively new to all this, so i'm experimenting.

      What i'm doing is every hour is exploring my room, listening to everything, smelling and feeling things for textures. I am also taking more notice to my own movements and stuff. Am I doing this right?

      ^ Yes, that sounds very good.

      I think lucid dreamers are a weird lot. Just imagine all the things they do during their daily routine that are fantastically weird to those who are too ignorant for paying more attention to their own dream world

      Thanks alot! For whatever reason I felt like using too much imagination while practicing ADA would cause it to be less effective, but i suppose there is no reason why it should. I just have to be careful not to get lost in my thoughts and become distracted from my work and ADA. I'll look for that balance that works best. I'm glad you're so helpful to all of us new ADA'ers.

      I posted several days ago that i would try this and wow. I've had 2 lucids within a week after coming off a long dry spell. I got to say that this dramatically has increased my lucids this first week. I'll try being aware more and hopefully get my lucids up even more.

      Yeah, it sounds like you are getting along rather nicely. Just keep at it and work towards achieving that ultimate awareness.

      Yeah, the majority of us aren't what you would call "normal." Fuck it...I am proud to be different. We get to have all the fun

      I've been working at this since I saw this thread a couple of weeks ago and can finally report a bit of success. I do it in bursts throughout my work day when it is convenient, ie: after sending an email, hanging up the phone, or whenever I happen to think about it. As a few have mentioned, it was quite distracting for me to increase awareness at first, but it became much more natural over time. I'm thinking of placing a couple of sticky notes around with ADA on them to help remind me.

      I've noticed that moments in my dreams become quite more vivid lately, however I am having a terrible dry spell for recall. Hopefully, soon, it will lead to more lucids.

      Thank you for the excellent tutorial.

      This method has finally rewarded me with a lucid! Sadly enough just before I had to get up, but a lucid none the less. There was something about the air just not smelling like "normal" air, which kicked it in for me...
      On a different note, this was my first DILD, and I must say, they have a really different feel to them than WILDs, and much easier to keep stable too

      I've been working at this since I saw this thread a couple of weeks ago and can finally report a bit of success. I do it in bursts throughout my work day when it is convenient, ie: after sending an email, hanging up the phone, or whenever I happen to think about it. As a few have mentioned, it was quite distracting for me to increase awareness at first, but it became much more natural over time. I'm thinking of placing a couple of sticky notes around with ADA on them to help remind me.

      I've noticed that moments in my dreams become quite more vivid lately, however I am having a terrible dry spell for recall. Hopefully, soon, it will lead to more lucids.

      Thank you for the excellent tutorial.
      Awesome man, glad it is showing some results. Just keep working at it and hopefully it will lead you to some lucidity. I like the sticky notes idea as well. Just keep powering through that dry spell, and it will be over soon enough. Good luck!

      On a different note, this was my first DILD, and I must say, they have a really different feel to them than WILDs, and much easier to keep stable too
      Congrats on your success! You got lucid with awareness of the smell sense as well...impressive. Keep the good work and I'm sure there will be many more to come !
