Probably the first one you would want to read is the art of dreaming. It's the one I started with. |

I've read the entire thread from page 1 to now -- and I'm excited by your discoveries! I'm also thrilled by the many posts from newbies and intermediate LD'ers who got an LD from using your "mindset" mentality. |

Thanks, the only problem with this is that some people grasp the concept immediately, and some don't. |
|
It's kind of like a Zen meditation: trying too hard actually prevents what you're seeking. I know I've tried too hard in the past. This time I'm using your "mindset" methodology. |

Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda is ordered via Amazon! |

Great thread...this actually got me back on track. Ended up having 3 good lucid dreams last night. |
|
Just chiming in to say that yes, this method worked amazingly well for me. After focusing my intent at nighttime (and during WBTB awakenings especially) for only two days, I got a long string of lucid dreams on the second day...felt like I was lucid for hours. |

This technique has boosted my amount of lucids bigtime. I can confirm what you said about dream journals by the way. They help for dream vividness, but it doesn't affect my lucid count. It might be a good idea to use my wake ups for DEILD instead of DJ. That way I combine DILD (ADA), WILD (DEILD) and MILD (this thread). Hard to go wrong on that |
|
Yesterday morning I had a bunch of lucid dreams within an hour. I had so many false awakenings it felt like I was never gonna actually wake up. The dreams were EXTREMELY vivid. |

Wow, Bullet, 390 LDs now? |

Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
-John Lennon
I'm going to give this a go too, always open to new suggestions and techniques |

Spoiler for Dream Goals:
No matter how much I practise and believe this technique, or others of the same principle. I never get anywhere. Dont know if its just me or what. I believe im going to have a lucid as much as i believe i will wake up tomorow morning, still nothing. |

You didn't fail. You were succesful, forgot about it, all of that in order to train yourself to handle failure in your life. You just dont realize it because it is the unconcious part of your brain who handles that. It is the only explanation why a pro lucid dreamer like you wouldnt wake up remembering his awesome lucid dreams from the past night. |
|
I myself have forgotten many lucid dreams. |

Woah, MAN! |

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week; you have a schedule, a calendar... Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.
as i was reading this, a song called 'chasing shadows' by stratovarius came on. i normally have very low self confidence, but the irony of the repeated chorus of "you're chasing shadows" actually made me laugh and i feel really confident. looking forward to trying thus new method of no method tonight. |
|
I just want to be able to do this so bad, like you, SilverBullet... Will I ever reach there.... |
