DTILD (Dream Totem Induced Lucid Dream)
(sorry for the unproffesional method title but cut me some slack =) )
hey guys so i saw inception last night and an idea sprung from my head so you know how they use dream totems? well it seems they use theirs as a sort of reality check.
so my point is i found this rock in my desk yesterday and i have been saying to myself
"in my dream this rock will let me control everything it will create my landscape when i'm lucid and when i throw it up in a dream it will float and glow"
so i have convinced myself that in real life my "Dream Totem" will just fall back into my hand and not glow but in my dream it will float and glow and i can use it to control my dreams (like a video game controller for dreams)
so my question is could this be a new method? i saw a post similar to this and this is more of a bit of a different method
so could this work? i'm going to try it for a while and i will keep you guys posted with my results
My Experience with Totems
I have been thinking the exact same thing as you, but with a different totem. The thing to understand is this. If you use a totem, it will do nothing that it does in Inception. But it can be used as a lucid dream induction method as easy as any other reality check, just as long as you know how to use it and it's effective for you. I have recently started trying to motivate myself to use my totem for my reality check, but in all honesty, the fact that it is just in my pocket to remind me is more influential that it being different in the dream, ie: floating and glowing.
