Thread: SilverBullet's Newly Revised Key to Lucid Dreaming

Could you explain to me what you do for this method?

Sure

Basically what SilverBullet is teaching is that using your subconscious mind is pretty much essential to lucid dreaming. And I believe it is.

The majority of your mind (5/6ths I think it is) is subconscious. Your subconscious is affected by every thought you think, and it works at making those thoughts your reality. Lucid dreaming is all in the mind, so the practice should be in the mind too, right? This technique is to create a mindset that you absolutely will lucid dream every night without fail, and then your subconscious will make that happen.

To get your subconscious working in your favour, you need to think a positive thought in the present tense, with positive emotion attatched to it and a strong visualisation. Something along the lines of "I have many lucid dreams every night that was long and clear". Whilest thinking this, imagine yourself becoming lucid in a dream (try and imagine it in as much detail as possible) and carrying out your goals. Really convince yourself. If it's not true, lie to yourself. Force yourself to never think "I can't lucid dream." "I'm a newbie at lucid dreaming."

Believe you are a master. Have you ever told a lie so many times that after awhile even you start to believe it? This is what you're doing. You're making yourself believe whole-heartedly that you can consistantly lucid dream whilest also making your subconscious work towards it to instead of against you. Because if you think "I can't lucid dream" it will believe that, and it will work to make sure you do not lucid dream. And remember what I said about how it takes a month to form a habit (new neural pathways in the brain that fire off neurons more easily the more you think it).

Another important message in this tutorial is to not try so damn hard. So many people overwork themselves when it comes to lucid dreaming and then when they stop they start getting them. Don't stress relax.

You're always relaxed because you're a master lucid dreamer, right?

I hope that helps you.

That helped a ton, thanks. But, how often do I say that to myself?
