Well said gab!
I can see how intent and willpower are two different things - one taking loads of energy to overcome inner drives - the other a re-programming of these drives by intentional thinking.
Just - I really wonder, how far this can carry you.
I mean - if I could just set intent on LD - I would be lucid at least once a night.
Maybe not more to not disrupt whatever normal dreams have to contribute to my mental health - but surely one or two per every night anyway.
And I can not get rid of my suspicion concerning your frequency of LD being much lower than that.
And the suspicion that you do not have full dream-control either.

Once more:
What you did answer to - and with yes - were these two:

Do you remember your lucid goals from waking life - whatever they are? Yes.
Can you realize them? Yes.

You also clarified that you use pure intent without will-power.



Okay - what about the others?
These are ones, which can not be answered by yes or no - here we go again:

1.) When was your first LD?
2.) How many LDs per night?
3.) How long are your lucids?
4.) What was your greatest lucid control feature up to now?


After all - you have opened a thread seemingly with the intention of freeing those who listen to you from the boundaries of doubt and method - to advertise your approach actually.
So - wouldnīt it be fair to report about your successes in detail?

You have answered my questions partly - which is better than nothing, SilverBullet - but please - let us know more.

Besides - how come you behave, as if you yourself had a new guide on how to LD - while despising it otherwise to give such.
Stetting an unbending, permanently* installed intent is a method also - and actually you could tell us exactly how you did that.
*oh wait - is it permanently installed/do you LD every night?

Waiting for answers 1-4 with high expectations of you being "enough of a man" to still my curiosity!
You have a right to such an opinion as a beginner as well of course - just if - the tone might be not chosen wisely..
