Always good to see improvement |

It's weird because back when I first started getting into LDs and this forum I kinda turned RCing into just practicing awareness. I slacked off lucid dreaming for a while but always kept it in my mind, and lately, since getting out of a long depression I've turned around from my "never thinking" attitude (which I used purely as a defense mechanism for harmful thoughts) and around that time this "ADA" topic starts popping up on dreamviews! |

good times

I never really liked the thought of ADA. It seems to take much more work than neccessary to get resaults that you can with easier techniques. |

Ada? |

It means all day awareness. Its basically a DILD on steroids. |

Awesome .44 ! I'm glad it is helping you out! It not only helps with LDing, but it can help you be more alert in waking life as well. Most people just zombie themselves around for half of the day. It really wakes you up, in a sense . |

"We don't question dreams when we sleep because they seem as real as reality. Neither do we question reality because we 'know' it's real. Knowing this, we then ask the question: What does it mean to be awake?" |

Technically, you don't even have to question your reality with ADA practice...ever. You simply apply all of your sense and learn to be aware of what is going on with and around you. You certainly shouldn't always be wondering if you are dreaming or not. ADA practice grants you the ability to tell the difference between reality and the dream state naturally. Your mind and body are always doing stuff, people just usually overlook and take the little things for granted. ADA helps you pick up on the finer things in every day life. Indeed, it isn't for everyone though. |

Being more aware of your senses helps you find the flaws in the dream world right? |

Maybe for you. And in quoting me you would see that i said "but really its whatever works for you." Anyway in my opinion there are easier ways to do what ADA does. |

In a way it's almost a MILD, because aren't you really 'incubating reality' with ADA? You're informing, explicitly, your mind on the difference between reality and dreams and at the same time storing in your memory exactly what waking life looks/feels/sounds like to make your dreams more vivid. |

Yeah, exactly. The more you notice in waking life, the more you notice in the dream world. In particularly, the feeling of being awake compared to being in a dream. With ADA, I realize I am dreaming simply because I am in a dream. |

Dreams have a different feeling than real life. If you are good at staying aware, you will automatically notice this difference. When you record your dreams in your journal, try to recall how they felt. Do it the same way you pay attention to things in Yoshi's ADA tutorial. You have practice maintaining your awareness while awake. You know what it feels like to be awake and aware. How does it feel to be asleep and aware? |
