Whats strange is the other night i was depressed and worried about this 'method', and i just sat on the floor and spoke to my subconscious aoout it..., and then i went to bed and had a lucid dream lol... and now im still stuck xD
Give your sub-conscious pep talks each night.Quote:

This is where being able to contact your sub-conscious in a dream will be really cool for you, you can just say, 'I want to be lucid like this in every dream, thanks.'
Last night as I was laying in bed I started to meditate, lying on my back, visualising blue light entering me and black light leaving me with each breath, I also imagined myself descending stairs as if to a basement, but the stairs were violet of carpet and the walls and ceiling were blue with white stars and moons shifting across it (to stop it seeming like a creepy image); pretty soon I was in a blissfully relaxed state where my whole body had turned slightly numb and fuzzy. I started affirming my intent to become lucid in the dreams that night. It seemed to go well... But when I had my WBTB I was so tired that I couldn't be bother to MILD and I think it ruined the work I'd put in earlier that night :(
aw. sorry :D try again :P . i wish my subconscious wasnt an a**Quote:

This is what it all comes down to really.
I dont become lucid often, my most recent was a few weeks ago, though it was only short, so the next night I was like 'Ok tonight i WILL lucid dream again! i must! i will!', and of course i didnt, got frustrated the next morning because of my failure and kept trying harder and harder. Only recently i came to the idea that I was probally being counter productive, looking back at the day of my lucid i was in such a calm mode of thought, I remember just 'knowing' that i would become lucid, but the days that followed after i had stressed myself out 'wanting' to become lucid again.
Thanks for the post, it reaffirms what i've been wondering lately, from now on all I shall just focus on remembering my dreams and my lucid goals, whilst just 'knowing' that i will become lucid when the time is right.
Hm, wondering when someone was going to post in my thread again.
I'm glad I could help. I've still been having lucids almost every day.
This is a great guide. I like it how you emphasize the point of lucid dreaming is easy because it is! Whenever I "feel" like I'm going to have one, I will. This is such a easy technique, but it works wonders. I think this will be helpful to those people who are wanting to quit because lucid dreaming is too hard. All in all, great guide SilverBullet. :D
Over my half term school holiday I had 6 LDs over 5 nights, my most prolific week yet, and I think it was due to my intention and belief. I think everyone can benefit from this guide. LDing is mianly mind over matter and mindset is everything.
is it really all about mindset?Quote:

seriously, just mindset?
Well that, and being able to sleep.Quote:

Now that I think about it, that cold room and nightmares is sorta true.
I remember when I was younger, sometimes I'd sleep withou:eek:t covers because they were being washed. I'd always have nightmares afterwards.
LOL. I had another lucid dream today. so this is how it is! now I know how to do...thank you again, Silverbullet :D
Excellent guide indeed :) Re-read this and it has the confidence factor of lucid dreaming around your little pinky. EZ(E-Z). Combined it with my daily SAT and i just woke from two lucid dreams. Cheers, SilverBullet!
Bumping this thread because why not.
I want to remind all of you who read this thread and had a lucid dream right after; Remember that feeling you had that night. Whenever you have a lucid dream, capture that feeling and emotion that comes along with it. Feel that mindset that is lucid dreaming.
You go, girl!
Thanks for bumping this or else I probably would not have seen it.Quote:

Going to try to change that there subconscious :D.
I'm back to my good LD rate! I'll be following this guide closely as I did before! Thanks!
When people do this and don't get a lucid on the first night, they start doubting the technique, because it 'should've worked'. Because of the doubt it will continue to fail. If they hadn't doubted the technique and kept confident, they would've had a lucid dream the night after. Just keep confident! There are no failures, there are only lessons that lead to becoming EVEN BETTER!
Silverbullet, thanks so much for your tutorial. It's right up my alley!
BTW, have you ever read "Journey to Ixtlan" by Carlos Castaneda where don Juan introduces the art of dreaming?
Yes I have also read that one. I think I read like 3 or 4 of the books.Quote:
