I really need help! i have been trying very hard to achieve lucidity for the past month, but i have had problems. I have been using the MILD technique, and I have also just started trying the Twin Bodies Technique. I am a noob at lucid dreaming and I also have Asperger's Syndrome. I think that's what might be keeping me from achieving lucidity, but I'm not sure. Please help! :panic:
A month usually isn't long enough to tell if you are having trouble or not. Me personally, I took 5 months before I had one really short one. I mean really short. So there isn't really a problem. As for what you are doing, MILD is great to start off with, but maybe couple it with something else? Shop around the wiki to read up on which method sounds do-able and try that out too.
Like Avalanche said, a month is pretty quick. Everyone has lucid dreams at different times, some people it takes months, some it takes weeks, some it takes months. You just have to keep persistent, tweak techniques and just learn what is the best for you. You'll get a lucid soon enough!
Twin Body technique can be useful if you visualize your twin body while deeply relaxed. Visualizing and dreaming occur in the same area of the human brain.
I must ask if you've been using exclusively MILD or combining it with the awareness/reality checks of DILD or even techniques to WILD.
For me, MILD has always been extremely effective with the right mantras, and Naiya's Tutorial is probably the best of the best, but I don't think it would be nearly as effective if I didn't combine it with techniques for DILD aswell. Things such as reality checks throughout the day, All Day Awareness or Sporadic Awareness Technique all help to train your mind to doubt reality and make it way easier to tell when you're dreaming compared to if you weren't doing them.
Some of my favourite mantras are "I am aware when I am dreaming" and "I achieve my goals of lucid dreaming" which I repeat after writing a list of 2-3 goals in my DJ every night :)
