Thread: Find out What Technique is Right for You!

What really works for me is adding strong emotions when I RC. I ask myself "wow, what if this is a dream, I just didn't notice". I try to recall a happy/startling feeling. You know, like when you wake up in the morning after Christmas and you know something really good happened yesterday, but for a second you don't recall what it was. But you have this happy feeling in pit of your stomach. Then you remember all those toys you got the day before.

Or any other happy/expectation/surprise feeling you can recall from your past. If you had LD before, you can think of that startling/happy feeling as when you first time realized you are dreaming.

Then this jolt/startling feeling transfers into my dreams and I go "wait a minute, am i dreaming?". And byt the end of that question I'm already lucid.

gab, this is a brilliant idea! I must admit that I do some RCs quite absentmindedly. Combining RCs with an emotion like the LD happy feeling would add much more awareness to it. Will definately try to do RCs this way.

This reminds me of the time when I just had this excited feeling before going to bed. That I was so certain about that I would have a lucid dream, that I later that night got one. But when I was that excited before I went to bed, I told myself to remember to calm myself down as soon as I would realize that I was dreaming within the dream. And in the moment I got lucid in my dream, I was perfectly calm. I remember how surprised I was over myself in the dream for being so calm.

So dont forget to remind yourself that you will remain calm when you get lucid.
