Thread: You are or aren't

Well - I don´t think, I need such an unbending intent - it sounds very strenuous - I think, it is much easier, if you make it easier for yourself.
By applying knowledge - making a habit of practices - honestly - I do not have to pull my most in intent out to have an LD - it works much easier when it does for me.

You are basically correct in saying - throw away doubts - but throw away all the useful experience and knowledge of others - leaves you with learning it all the hard way - and it is only natural, that some things will elude you for ages like that.

To say to others - all technique is worthless - I would at least want to be sure, I surpass these teachers out there in my abilities - in all respects.
Some have being lucid as their default-dreaming-state - at least a bit.
Even trying not to be lucid, because it comes on it´s own after years of practice with some people.

It does not sound, as if LD came easy to you - I might misunderstand - but to me it sounds as if you needed a willpower like for giving up smoking to LD.
No you don´t - it is much easier.

Edit: For me - you are or you aren´t - and if you aren´t but want to - then you can learn it!

Unbending intent does not take any physical or mental effort.
Willpower is something entirely different.
Willpower requires wishing and thinking, which can only accomplish so much.
I would say many people on this forum have great willpower, but no intent.

My brother is the same thing. He barely trains and has a lot of LDs, much more than I do, and I train 1000% more than him.
It's time to change the attitude. ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!
It's really essential to make your subconscious mind believe that you can lucid dream. Techniques are surely important to increase your ability to realize your dreaming, and the emotional factors(confidence, motivation, intent, passion,etc.) are important to make your subconscious believe you can! You can surely have LDs by training a lot, but it seems that you need to have your subconscious believe you can. Why? what is the role of the subconscious in the ability to LD?
Seriously, someone answer me!
I'm gonna post a thread
