      The sticky notes are a big help. I also put one on the fridge at home and one on the IT rack at the office.

      Finally success! Although it was short, i had an ld this morning. I got into too big of a rush and forgot the basics, like stabilizing the dream before i rush into trying to do anything. Anyway, i finally put an end to a month long dry spell. My ADA is improving a little bit everyday. It has also helped my dream recall dry spell as well. I imagine that my dream recall and ld rate will improve as my ADA improves. Thanks KingYoshi!

      Yeah, just keep working on ADA and everything dream related will improve around it. Congrats on your success! Always glad to help out . I don't know if I have ever told you this before, but Grimmjow is fucking awesome! Probably my favorite villain in Bleach.

      Nice! Yet another use for sticky notes. Those little bastards are crazy useful.

      Yeah, i'm a major Bleach fan. Grimmjow has got to be one of my favorite villains too. Although, the second release form of Ulquiorra was friggin' awesome too! I would love to try using a nuke arrow in an ld!

      I'm trying, I really am! I just can't sustain a long period of awareness. I get distracted...? Not sure what it is, but I seem unable to be aware for very long. I find that I keep thinking - about people or events or something, something not relevant to my awareness. Flipping brain, getting in my way. It always holds me back.

      I will master this

      This guide is the most excellent one I've read since Puffin's DILD guide came out a long time ago. Thank you so much, I'm finally going to restart lucid dreaming at my fullest.

      Ah, that is quite alright. It takes a bit of practice to get used to it. The mind is a powerful tool, but unfortunately, it is very easily distracted . Just keep practicing, even a little bit of heightened awareness can improve your chances for becoming lucid.

      Thank you very much for your advice KingYoshi.

      ADA is not only good for LDs but also for exercising and developing memory and logic for everyday situations, which is always useful for all of us

      I'll give it a try, starting tomorrow I haven't been practicing LDing for a while due to lack of time and motivation, but reading this thread made me wanna start again. Thanks!

      Apart from the obvious benefit to Lucid Dreaming, ADA is increasing my appreciation of reality. I've always been observant, always appreciated nature, but ADA makes me notice things in real life, I've never bothered to look for. If it ends up helping me regularly LD then that would be great too. xD

      Ah, TeaSea, the changing color in your avatar keeps catching my peripheral vision off-guard and draws my attention over there! But, I guess it's supposed to, eh? A reality check of sorts? It's the sort of thing I might not have noticed originally, but since the thread's all about awareness it's impossible to ignore!

      ADA, huh... it's an idea I've heard in several places, by several names, and has always seemed like the "right" way to go about things. Then again, I'm positively oblivious to the things around me sometimes, so I feel like it's a good thing to work on. It's scary the things I'm able to block out sometime. xD

      It's been a while since my last post on this thread, but here's the progress:

      - More vivid dreams
      - Dream recall getting better again
      - More vivid waking life ( more detailed, rich, colourful, etc. )
      - 2 lucids ( short, but they helped me figure out what i've been doing wrong while stabilizing)

      Apart from that, there's a theory I came up with. This is prticularly interesting for students.
      When i study, i've always been able to temporarily kind of 'strenghten my eyes'. That eye technique allows me to memorize what i read perfectly in a short time. ADA felt a little like it. Actually, it became easier to do since i started practicing ADA. If u turn that around, you might be able to learn this 'eye technique' by practicing ADA. Conclusion:

      ADA might actually make you better at studying and memorizing.

      I'm not sure if it works, but i hope it does and helps you out, even if only a little. I think everyone has good use for memorizing stuff one way or another.

      Mixing believing that you are dreaming with ADA seemed to greatly increase amount of details in a dream...

      Yeah, it really takes some getting used to at first. make sure you aren't stressing over it. Keep everything light and casual. Try just performing ADA in sessions every now and then to get used to it.

      Ah, make sure you aren't over working yourself/stressing over it or causing extra stress. Take a break for a day or two every now and then, if necessary.

      So I've been gone from this site for a real long while, because since school came back into my life after summer, I kept coming up with endless amounts of dry spells. Since it's nearing the summer, I decided to get back on, and read up on the forums. What's the first thread I find? This tutorial about ADA.
      Thank you SO much Yoshi. Seriously. I can't believe I never thought of doing this before, but I'm really confident that it'll help me get better lucids and recall. I'll post my results if there are any. Great tutorial, kudos to you. (:
