ADA makes spontaneous lucidity a regularity to the point that it isn't spontaneous anymore. ADA teaches your mind to become lucid because you are in a dream. Not because you can tell its a dream, but because you KNOW its a dream. You just know it and realize it without anything at all happening within said dream from one point to another. That is the "feeling" I'm talking about for lack of a better word. Its not a physical feeling, its a mental feeling. A feeling of presence and nothing more. The presence of the dream I suppose. It almost needs to be experienced to be understood. With ADA, your mind is being trained to naturally distinguish between reality and the dream state. If you get deep enough into ADA with regard to lucid dreaming and are able to always distinguish between reality and the dream state, you will be forever lucid.

You guys say it can't be the only tool for lucidity and I can agree with that. It CAN be your only induction technique if you wish. I practice ADA, dream journal, and that is it as far as boosters and techniques go. I get 15-25 "spontaneous" DILDs per month (average at 20 per). At some point, its not "spontaneous" anymore....right? There is no way I could ever agree with anything that states that ADA, if practiced correctly, does not significantly boost lucidity....significantly.
I think we all agree with what you have said.

No worries. It's all good.
