Thread: is there ANY technique that doesn't require these things?

Take some bong hit's, then focusing on 1 thing at a time becomes much easier.

Lol weed makes my mind go crazy with off the wall thoughts and makes it harder for me to focus on one thing. It is awesome for meditation though, the CEVs can be pretty epic if you are stoned enough.
And I have to disagree with what is being said about meditation. Clearing your mind is only the first step; you should use this to quiet your conscious. After that you should let your subconscious take over. When I am in a really good state of meditation my mind is being bombarded with a constant flow of thoughts and images, but my conscious is detached and simply aware of the thoughts. I feel this state is very similar to WILDing. Simply observing either the HI or the subliminal thoughts without engaging any of them.
And regarding the OP. No. If you are going to lucid dream you kinda have to do at least one, if not all, of those things.
