      Anyone having success with this.

      I seem to be struggling as of late.

      Keeping my focus on that mantra right until I fall asleep?

      Or I end up not going to sleep at all.

      You might say well then you have wbtb, but that leads to garunteed sp and I HATE SP.

      Anymore tips. How often am I repeating the mantra? Repeating as a visualize? What should I visualize?

      It's up to you, man. When I used MILD (which I may return to) I just done it when i thought of it throughout the day, and for less than five minutes before bed. Seeing and I meditate myself to sleep, after using the mantra for a certain amount of time, i'd stop and just go to sleep regularly. Have faith in this mantra. It's going to get you lucid, afterall
      WBTB does not guarantee SP. WBTB simply means you wake up in the middle of the night and go back to sleep at some time. In this technique, Naiya says WBTB to optional, but can increase your chances of lucidity.
      Again, what you visualise is up to you. You can visualise what you want to do in the dream, or even the words in your mantra. For example, if your mantra is "I know I am dreaming," you could picture that as graffiti on a wall, and then focus yourself into making some detail into the visualisation, or, you could visualise what you want to do and use your mantra as a 'background voice.'

      Would it be ok to visualize based off of my first LD? I can remember it so well - the weak kneed feeling I got when I felt mu self in my own world in my head. It was amazing, I can remember the whole thing as clear as ever.

      Would it be a good or bad thing to use that same LD over multiple time, but change what I do everytime?

      That would be an excellent basis for a first MILD, visualising your first LD creates a vivid impression and a really strong emotion. In my experience you can use the same visualisation over multiple nights, but be sure to mix things up a bit if you feel you need to.

      Awesome. My first LD was actually my best. It holds a spot with me that I'll never forget.

      An awesome guide! This helped me with my first few lucids and hopefully many more will follow! Do you recommend any audio such as binaural beats?
      If sweetness can win, and it can, I will be here tomorrow to high five you yesterday. Peace.

      So to help me go to sleep I day dream until all of a sudden I'm asleep. If I repeat a sentence in my head it keeps me awake. So could I do this sitting on a couch for 5 minuets and then get in to bed?

      So I have been using this technique over the past week or so. Typically I wake up in the middle of the night, so I have been doing it more with WBTB than using the tech as I go to sleep initially. It hasn't been particularly successful, but I have been taking the advice in the opening post and keeping at it.

      Last night I had a particularly striking nightmare about a person collecting dead bodies in a hotel. Upon waking up I knew that I would be reentering this dream scenario throughout the night because of how powerful it was for me. I decided to use this MILD technique to try and enter a lucid dream and managed to do so, although not with 100% success. During one subsequent dream I became lucid, but only at the very end of the dream as it began to fade. Unfortunately I didn't manage to become lucid again. I will admit, though, this technique works and will probable work better for me with more practice.

      I just tried this yesterday. Even though I didn't get lucid, I remembered two dreams for the first time! I'll go ahead and keep using this technique.

      I took notes from this and your other LD'ing thread and put them into my official dream journal that is put near my bed! The first few pages I outlined my personalized morning/daytime/nightime routine, and also some scenarios as to what to do if I wake up spontaneously throughout the night. Then I have a page of things to do to help me get lucid. Things like "Notice things that repeat in my dreams" "Look for dream signs" "Sleep on my back" "Learn what it FEELS like to be dreaming" I don't know, it seems like things like that motivate me more. I also have "QUESTION REALITY" in big letters. Oh and I also title every page with a classic "I will have a lucid dream tonight". This is my first day back to LD'ing on a LONG dry spell, hopefully this new journal will be just the thing to kick it into gear!

      Thanks Naiya!

      Great job on explaining this technique, I used it last night and had a ld. I will definitely be using this more!

      Naiya, you may just hold the title of making me have my first lucid dream!!!

      I read your post last night before going to sleep, and I m still a newbie i ve been trying to LD for the last 2 moths and a half...so when I went to bed I tried MILD like you described and visualized myself in a LD and fell asleep and bang 1h40 later I just had my first LD!!!

      I m sure yout tutorial has helped along with my own determination and the work have done for the past 2 month but all together it worked and I cant wait to have more!!

      Thank you!!

      I tried this last night, and I too had a lucid dream. My second. It was very short, but this definately gives me belief that this technique is something I am going to use in the future!

      So far i've never had a MILD, but i am somewhat of a beginner. It seems that whenever i stay up late studying and have to get up for an early class, i just get this unmistakable feeling of overwhelming tiredness and i have to take a nap. So far i have had all my lucid dreams while napping and feeling this way. I really like this tutorial and i think i am going to try to combine the tutorial with some of the comments into a super technique. I am going to visual myself in my most recent visual dream standing in front of a sign that says "You are dreaming" and have a speaker built into the sign that also says you are dreaming. Hopefully this will work lol...

      This is a great tutorial!
      I just wonder... While visualizing, I tend to drift away to all kind of random thoughts. I'm still relaxed and such... Does this affect the MILD effect?

      So this also probably goes well with Dild technique?

      Yes, that's pretty normal, don't worry about it.

      Yup! It goes great with that, or you can tweak it a little and use it for WILD. RCing goes well with it too.

      I am giving this technique some serious, long-term effort and had a question about it:

      When I'm visualizing a dream scenario, I have a very difficult time repeating my mantra at the same time. It seems I can only do one or the other, because it takes conscious effort to do each one individually and I can't do both.

      What are you experiencing when you have the dream scenario in your head? Does it unfold effortlessly like a regular dream, so that all you focus on is repeating the mantra? Or are you alternating between the two?
