Thread: Automatic Lucidity

Ok, well last night when I was playing my game, throughout my time playing I tried to keep myself from being engrossed my saying out loud "This is a dream". I must have said it over a hundred times, but I went to bed kinda late (or later than usual, as it was a saturday, so later than my usual times on weekdays). I had only 3 dreams, which for me is pretty bad. I was going to do a WBTB, but was too tired.

My dream signs for some reason is always one of my friends who pops up almost all the time, or me being in a helicopter. The helicopter is from a game I really liked and used to play, but it's funny how it's sticking around. Right now I'm going to go back over my dream journals and write out a list of dream signs, and pick the top 5 to do your technique with.

Other than this, I'm stuck with only WBTB.

Ok. So you want to do your most common occuring dream sign, not temporary ones that are incurred by mass stimulus. Common occuring dream signs are those that come every night of the week, every other day, every 3rd day, I dunno, you gotta figure out your own dream cycles. When you figure this out, then in the Real world, you do the following.

You either find a picture of the stimulus if its visual, so say I have a re-occuring dog in my dreams. I either find an exact, or near exact replica, or draw it myself.
Then I take that picture, and lay it face down. I clear my mind.
I pick up the picture, and upon seeing the picture, state This is a dream, while mimicking that dream sensation you have when you are lucid to my environment. I then ask, am I awake or sleeping, and do a RC.
I then repeat this 7 times. To figure out whether it is set, have the picture randomly around, or, better yet, put it randomly in your picture box, and photo view the picture, paying attention to the details. When that picture comes up, you should automatically, without having to think about it, do the reaction. If its not set, then do it another 7 times, and make sure you put a little time( like 30 seconds where you can clear your mind) between the stimulus. That way it is registered as separate stimuli by the brain, and actually gets a Conditioned response out of it. Anyways, let me know how that works, and I'll do it today as well.(Didn't do it yesterday, and no lucid, and none of my dreams had previously set conditioned stimuli).
