Mindfulness - An Alternative Approach to ADA
Intent in Lucid Dreaming; Break that Dry-Spell, Escape the Technique Rut
Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

I'm addicted to music and everytime listening it . I wonder that if music hamper me to be aware of my surroundings . What should I do . Am I right or failing ? Sorry for bad English . |

Music is just another thing to be aware of, and in fact, ADA will drastically increase your enjoyment of music. |

Thanks for answer At the same time I will use ADA technique and RCs . My RCs is checking reality when I go through a door . But sometimes I continously go through a door . Should I do RC everytime I go though a door If I don't what should I do ? |

RCing everytime you walk through a door is meant to be one of the most effective practices, but I believe it to be even more draining than ADA. I would treat walking through doors as a trigger to renew your ADA. |

Location transitions are a great time to "perk up" your mindfulness/vigilance/ADA/etc. Dreams jump location all the time (at least mine do). I do not walk through doors very much, though -- location transition is more generally applicable than doors I think. |

Yeah, location changes are definitely one of the biggest dreamsigns. |

I have a problem with the touch sense, i can manage the other 4 pretty well. Any tips on being aware of the touch/feel sense? |

Goals for June/July.
Fly: (x ) Manipulate gravity (x)
Teleport: (x ) Eat a large meal: ( x)
Say my favorite quote: ( ) Be invisible: ( x)
Practice DILD for 2 weeks: (x ) Advance within dream yoga: ( )
Complete 5 TotM's: ( )
Funny, I find touch the easiest, just goes to show individual differences. Focus on the feeling of your feet on the floor, your clothes, the rise and fall of your chest, sensations in the mouth. Just scan your whole body. |

I have yet to experience smell/taste in an LD. I have eaten/drank in a couple non-lucids but don't remember any flavor. |

Can someone clear this up for me: |

The idea is that, through attention, you're familiarising yourself with how it feels to be in waking reality, which differs from dreams - after a while of practising ADA you'll start being lucid from the beginning of dreams, because you'll know it's a dream from the feel - so the theory goes. |

So I don't know if I can still reply in this thread as the last post was two months ago but I'm going to anyways. So once you start practicing the ADA, does that become your reality check? So I wouldn't have to do any other RC's and I could just do ADA? |

Sounds like Vipassana Meditation. |

"Once upon a time I dream't I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I am a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am a butterfly, dreaming I am a man."-Lao Tzu ॐ
Applied the practice for a while during my meditation and got a string of lucids BEFORE my WBTB. Became lucid without any RC's, and completed the TOTM. Amazing. |

I tried this for 3 years, no effect. |

I suggest you look into mindfulness meditation. |

I'm trying this out for a couple of days now, some days I practise more than others. Pretty excited to get a LD again, since I'm on a dry spell for about 3 weeks now |

Basically none. |

I would suggest you move from one sense to the next. |
