Lucid dreaming subliminal messages help?

**Avalanche** · 05-08-2011 01:52 PM

There is a sticky here that has 3 links to 3 similar subliminal messages sound files. 2 of them go on for almost an hour, one for 25 mins. I listened to them all last night, while I was browsing on my computer. I then got up, brushed my teeth, etc etc, went to bed. Nothing special happened however, but I did dream a lot more than usual. (Normally I have 3-4 good dreams a night, last night I had at least 7 I can remember).

Did I do anything wrong? Should I listen to these in bed/without distractions?

Should I just try them all again?

I put the 3.0 version onto my phone just now. Should I expect results tonight if I listen in bed, or should I expect to have to try it for a few nights before I get a lucid?

Here is the link to the page I mentioned: http://www.dreamviews.com/f44/audio-...ository-55276/

I wouldn't rely too highly on the subliminal messaging to become lucid. From what I've read, these don't have too high of a success rate. Sure, people may listen to them and become lucid the same night, but most of that, I think, is just the placebo effect. When you go to bed thinking you are REALLY going to have a lucid dream, many will.
I've listened some some similar sound files before, but haven't had too much success with them.
This is not to say that the subliminal messaging is completely useless as I'm sure it works for some.
It might be the sort of thing where you have to listen to them often, which I haven't done. So I would just try listening to them a few more times. I think your listening to them at the right time, right before bed. I don't think you're doing anything wrong... I might have to experiment with them some more.

Yeah, I have one thats an hour long on my phone, which I can listen to tonight, while I'm actually in bed, with headphones, so no outside interference. When I was listening to them the first evening, I had to pause and restart them a few times, other times I went away for a bit, and sometimes the music was drowned out by outside noises.

I'm expecting something better tonight, not necessarily an LD, but I'm hoping SOME kind of improvement. Lately, it's just been dreams, and nothing more. Not very exciting stuff in my journal so far.

Personally, I have never had success with subliminal messages. The best thing I can say about them is the act of listening to them might increase one's awareness and/or be assimilated in a dream. The placebo effect might even be in effect.

Well I'm staying confident in them. I will keep on with my R.C.s, but they don't seem to have any effect at all. I'm not having much luck with anything. Only writing down my dreams has made me have more dreams and better dream recall, but thats about it.

Ok, well last night did not yield any lucid dreams, and again, any dreams I had were kinda weak. I did get two decent ones but, not much luck really. I have been R.C.ing like mad today, I'm dong the finger through hand one. I started doing it at 9 this morning, all through school, and it seems now to remind me every time I see my hands or the time that I remember to do them, which is great. I'm going to try for a third time the sub messages, but with R.C.s tonight. Hopefully something will happen. I feel as if I'm getting closer anyways.
