Like more easy than a mild or wild. Now i'm not saying this to be lazy just logical. I mean, is their some way to just tell your subconscious you want to have lucid dreams every night or something.

If your subconscious is the same as you, wouldn't it want to work for you? If you tell it you want lucid dreams, wouldn't that be easier than tricking your body or something?

Now, I suppose that's what a mild is, but if anyone could shed some light on this I would be quite grateful. No sarcastic responses please.

A more effective way I used and worked was to get a lined notepad and before sleep or whenever you awaken from sleep in the night..not too tired write out your intent as many times as you want until you can really feel the intent burn through your heart in other words confident with what you write. My sentence was..."I will remember to check my watch and realise I am dreaming". It's the easy way I suppose. The subconcious is not a you or a self where it can be aware of you or what you want. It is like a registry that stores the most significant bits of information from the concious mind and if it gets far enough into REM it manifests in the dream as whatever. So in a nutshell the more 'disturbing' or unresolved the information is i.e lucidity the more likely to make it into the subconcious. An example is to switch on a light and leave it but have the intention to have to turn it off or you'll be wasting electricity but at the same time you are in bed and sleepy so it is unresolved and that may manifest in the dream as you went to off a light can be any light but the action got through and you realize the light behaves funny and with your day training remember to RC and the a lucid dream is induced.
