Thread: What causes you to have the most lucid dreams in succession?

Terrin:

For me successful and consistent LD'ing has nothing to do with techniques or procedures, and everything to do with the fundamentals of self-awareness and memory.

Master self-awareness and learn to switch your memory back on (or prevent it from being turned off by normal physical sleep processes), throw in a litlle expectation and intent, and any technique will work fine for you... With more consistently positive results.

I honestly think that way too much is made of technique in the LD'ing world these days, and not enough about the things you have to have before you use the techniques. Of course the bit you might not want to hear is that it can take quite a while, even years, to master the fundamentals. Nothing wonderful is ever easy, I'm afraid.

If you're curious, I did a thread a while back calledLucid Dreaming Fundamentals; you might want to check it out.

One other note that someone else mentioned, I think: you might consider backing off a bit. WBTB by its nature can get pretty tedious if you doing it every day. You might consider picking one or two days a week to do it. That way you can better focus on each effort, so your consistency might improve.

TL;DR: stick to the fundamentals, not techniques, and maybe WBTB every day is not a good idea.

I hope some of that made sense; it's late.
