Thread: Trying out MILD? This is how you become skilled at it.

The thing about what I'm doing is that I'm in a sense "betting" that I'll encounter my dreamsign in dreams. It's generally a good bet -- I have lots of dreams in that location (although it's been a week since the last one, a pretty long "dry spell," normally I dream of that place almost every night.) In textbook MILD you use your recent dreams so that your SC understands that it's dreams that you want to recognize. I was trying to make it even stronger by using one common dream theme and only visualizing using that. Worked well last week but this week I haven't encountered it yet. I think it will work well for me since my dreamsign occurs normally with very high frequency. We'll see!

Anyway, that's my theory: work on visualizing a particular scene or a scenes with a common theme, both incubating the dream to occur and practicing visualizing becoming lucid in that scene so that when the incubation does occur, you have a good chance of becoming lucid.
