Even if a method IS a placebo, it is JUST as powerful as a method that actual has a real physical effect on your body..

The 'inception' technique..placebo..or real effect that helps you get lucid?

It doesnt MATTER..they both have the exact same effects..the most powerful lucidity tool is your mind, and people need to stop thinking of placebos as a way to trick your mind, and start thinking of them as a powerful induction technique..if you think it will happen, then it will..even telling yourself something is a placebo most times cant change the effect it will have..because even when you are telling yourself "oh thats a placebo, it wont work", there is ALWAYS that little voice in the background going "well..is it a placebo? or does it actually work?"..its called self doubt..and even if you think you KNOW something, you will always consider the opposite..its human nature

Auto suggestion and the placebo effect are some of the most underrated lucid tools available..people need to start accepting them and using them more..trust me!
