Thats because those people can just do. I can't, I need to understand what this is before I can even try it. But its too hard to explain to I don't get it. |

Thats it; I'm done. |

Oh and maybe you missed the "reposted due to data loss" part. It has worked for many people. It gave many people their first LD. |

This is how I lucid dream. It's very very simple but definitely not something that translates into language. |

nice technique, silver. i like the part about you having to realize its not hard. its like when you look up side effects for a drug or pill you are going to take, see what the side effects are, then get the side effects because you expected to. if everyone says it is hard, you are going to believe its hard. we have to get away from that. |

The evening hangs beneath the moon, a silver thread on darkened dune.
With closing eyes and resting head; I know that sleep is coming soon.
Upon my pillow, safe in bed,
A thousand pictures fill my head,
I cannot sleep , my mids aflight;
and yet my limbs seems made of lead. ---Whitacre's Sleep---
I read that Art of Dreaming thing a year ago, and I can say that there is 50%/50% crap and truth. I tend to believe in LD as a purely psychological/oneirological phenomena, not as such mystical thing Castaneda believed. Yes, his techniques (if you can call them so) can work, but mostly the book is an amusing novel and nothing more. |

Yeah, it's just something your brain can do for you if you work it the right way. There is no "Astral plane" or "dream body". It's all just imagination and your brain thinking you are where you are not. That's why I couldn't understand it, it doesn't make sense, only to gullible people who read something and take it as the whole truth. Placebo is all this is. |
|
......
Nah, I don't believe it because I'm gullible, I believe it because of my experiences I've had in my life. If I believed in whatever I wanted to believe I would believe in a lot of shit. The things they mention in the book really link with some things that have happened in my life. I'm not gullible in any way. I can actually be pretty skeptical about things at times. Also, 2 more lucids last night |

I didn't mean to say YOU were gullible, I didn't mean that. |

I broke my dry spell last night, and the difference now is I really think I could get to the point of nightly lucids with this. |

Intent in Lucid Dreaming; Break that Dry-Spell, Escape the Technique Rut
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
just finished reading the last couple of pages. SilverBullet, you must be the most patient person I've never met |

Just because one person understands something, doesn't mean everyone should be able to, or that it's correct or real. I still think this whole intent thing is an idea Silverbullet has that works for him, but it's so vague an idea that when ever I try to get more info out of him he can't explain it to me. It's a concept, not a technique. |

This is a placebo that's it. |

I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.-Charley pride
I don't think he is. This is not an argument or some attempt to get this topic thrown out. I just couldn't understand the concept behind this technique, and I realize now that it shouldn't be called a technique in the first place. Not the way we know it anyway. It's Silverbullets own way of getting lucid, and it works. But in his attempt to share it with everyone, it couldn't form well enough for people such as myself to comprehend. |

Man I don't like your attitude, relax. We're not all the same, if someone can have lucid dreams without a dream journal or without effort just by setting his intent and wants to share it with others you should really respect his opinion. Do we all need the same amount of time to learn maths? Or speaking a foreign language? The fact you worked insanely hard is a good thing because it means you were not so incline to lucid dreaming and that's fine, but still working hard remains your business. Oh, and don't be an hypocrite, it's pathetic, accept diversity, there's no need not to respect someone just because he can do something better than you do. |

Does it really matter if it's a placebo? If I'm getting a lucid almost every night then does it really matter? And I'm sorry if I'm offending you by having lucids easily. |
