Thread: You are or aren't

There is no how.
Don't ask how.
I didn't know how I made it happen.

I just knew I had the power to make it happen.
I removed my doubts, and it just happened.
I simply stopped thinking about how. I wanted it more than anything, to the point where I knew it would happen.

You know exactly what you have to do and yet you waste your time asking how.
Don't talk about it just do it. Sorry to dissapoint you, but there is nothing to say here.
Go read your techniques, because I can't help you.

And neither can you help anyone else.
Your "methodless" approach is a method in itself. Once you have been told how to do everything, you cannot just forgot it. It is near impossible for someone who has looked extensively into lucid dreaming to gain anything at all from your technique.

Your approach only works for people who know absolutely nothing about how lucid dreaming works or is induced.

This post will never attract that crowd and you will not succeed in getting people to utilize it, because someone new to DV will have undoubtedly already looked at other methods.

Besides this your lackluster posting obviously shows you have no intention in helping people but just re-enforcing your own natural ability. Get off your ego trip.

You are either natural, one of the lucky ones. That started to have lucids at young age and they didn't stop as you aged. Without any effort.

Or your technique is awareness, intent and perhaps mantras. That would be MILD/DILD.

You say you wanted to LD more than anything. So you must have been thinking about it all day. Thinking how it would be in a LD. Comparing it to your daily life. That's awareness. You were talking to yourself "I realize I'm dreaming". Those are mantras. And "I am a lucid dreamer" is when you were setting your intent.

I'm just speculating here, but I don't see how somebody can think of lucid dreaming and of achieving one and not have these thought cross their mind.

And you are right. Techniques don't matter. Unless you are just starting out and learning. Then they do matter. And as we "learn" the "how to" from techniques. and gain experience, we also realize, that techniques are just training wheels. Something we need to get us started off. But we need to start off with proper techniques. And so many information that's in these tutorials and threads all over DV are invaluable. Many things we could figure out by ourselves. But it may take years. So why not share our knowledge with others?
