Seems like a very helpful method in learning to master the LDD. I guess we could also use this thread to discuss various techniques.. Would that be cool? |

Thanks Jamal. Sure, some of the best practice I've got is from playing make believe as a child, so there are surely more ways to work on it. I tried to cover as much as I could in the tutorial, but if any good Ideas come up I am happy to update it. |

This is very very interesting. It reminds me of something I used to do as a child (and still do), but to a waaaaaay more organized and productive extent. I don't like the idea of the dream world always being with me, but I can use this to increase my dream awareness, but only before bed and in the midnight wakings. I sleep when I sleep, and am awake when I am awake and I like to keep it that way. |

i dont get it, what is this? a technique? |
|
Yeah, really interesting.. As a fresh lucid dreamer I had heard about lucid dreaming but wasn't quite sure of what it was. After doing a bit of research on the phenomenon and trying several techniques when free time, but most of it came from you're tested theories Finnegan... I just meshed into it but also discovered/realized that I had been doing this most of my life. But 80% of my day dreams came from night dreams, where I found out in the long run to be a part of my nostalgic past, by entrancing them through continues meditation and contemplation or deep thought... Anyway, I think children that read, have no limits to their imagination and that actively use that imagination find that lucid dreaming is natural.. At least for me it was, I feel fortunate that lucid dreaming discovered me as a child. I also think that those children that frequently daydream find lucid dreams within easy reach. |

BrandonBoss: Thank you, it is definitely a very flexible technique and can be used to develop regular lucid dreaming as well. The only reason I fully dive into it is because it is a powerful enabling tool for my art careers. Funnily enough it is based based on my childhood experiments with fantasy (I loved to play make-believe), and has since been extremely useful in my hobbies such as; Music, Drawing, Acting, Writing, ect... |

One more time. too many questions. sorry |

Oh don't worry about it, it's better to get these things out of the way anyway. |

After reading through your wishbook entry, I feel like I haven't been going deep enough quite yet. One night I closed my eyes, and I heard music and vivid, psychedelic colors were spinning before my eyes, but the minute I tried to grasp it, it vanished. Every time I'm not an onlooker and try to act like it's an LD, it just disperses, leaving me with nothing. |

PostScript99 ; you're very welcome, I understand; although I'd had some freak success' with it during my life, when I first decided to begin developing it It was very difficult to create a stable image, let alone fantasize about myself doing dream magic and involving all the senses. But I spent a lot of time practising, and now I have a lot to show for the effort! So if you think this technique is for you, go for it! I know it works for me |
|
Well, i still don't get how this works. i'm sitting on my chair as i'm writing this. i can practice it right now. but i don't know how. do i visualize myself doing something while keeping the senses with the picture? what will happen when i do this? |

How real LDD images, sounds, feelings, etc are? Do the images appear as if they were real, right in front of you? Or they are like imagination images, but more vivid? If I LDD, does a character standing besides a real person appear like it's really there? |
|
Aldar13- for me, yes, although unless you are a natural there is a learning curve. In the case of open eye visuals, for beginners it is often difficult to concentrate of both the inner and outer reality simultaneously, and so one or the other may fade if you concentrate to hard. Although with practice it is possible to see an LDD at the same quality as the "real", or even more vivid than you are used to your eyes showing -I speak from experience. |

I tried LDD again after a long string of lucids. This time, I could see with exceptional clarity, but could also feel my physical body changing position despite the fact I wasn't moving a muscle. |

Thanks PS, I love to hear about peoples progress! LDDing ability is very influenced by things like hobbies, interests passions, and desires, because continual thinking about them trains the mind to make use of previous knowledge at will. Thus it's a safe conclusion that LDDing is an extremely useful practice for the LDD; personally I've also noticed a great deal of correlation - as my LD count grows so does my LDD ability. |

Hello everyone. |

Hmm, interesting. I've been doing something like this since as long as I can remember. I find it easier with my eyes opened, but I can also do it with my eyes closed. Though I don't have sense of touch developed in LDD (I haven't tried actually, will do next time), hearing and sight are amazing. I can't fall asleep while doing this, I get this "tingly" sense in my chest when doing it and it stays there as long as I LDD. So, how can I apply this to LD? I was thinking of implementing this when I try to WILD. Do you have any ideas? |

Elaol's DILD workbook - my lucid dreaming journey
Another user, Mylynes, wrote a tutorial on this, actually wrote one on visuals and another on tactile sensations, I think. But he explained how his ability would "go on autopilot" and sometimes create horrible beings around him which he would control by "drawing" something else on top of it in order to make those things disappear. |

I've been able to do this for a very long time now, it's not just creating an image in your mind or thinking of a song you like. I realized how good I was when I involuntarily imagined myself falling down a dark stairwell and while I was on the ground in pain the day-dream seemed to keep itself going. Suddenly a white dissembodied face loomed out of the darkness coming towards me, it actually shocked me awake. Awake is a bad word cause I was never asleep, let's say I was aware of my current situation again. |

If you read this do a reality check, you will thank me later...
The last three nights I've been doing it when going to bed. |
