Thread: How to create a DILD method!

My first thought was "that's actually a great way to put it!", but now you changed your first post you state Subconscious primer as "a reality check which you do all the time subconsciously". But you don't actually check all the time, and there's no way to verify we're doing something like that subconsciously (it's impossible to determine by yourself if it's outside your awareness). If we did it all the time, wouldn't we be always lucid - or at least, way more often? This is what I don't get.

Well, that is the point - it is done subconsciously, without our awareness. Remember the placebo effect?
The problem is we cannot actually accurately predict what is happening. Sort of like after youve had 10 years experience of driving. Sometimes you even forget why you got there, the state of driving becomes so automatic, and subconscious, always performed by your hippocampus. But when the driving is on an unreliable road, the awareness automatically returns to the drivers.

But if you're using both definitions, you're contradicting yourself : how do you account for awareness before reality checking? It just shows that those 2 aspects (reality check and awareness) are not necessarily inherent of a DILD, because a DILD can still occur without one of them.

For awareness, please reread the above lines.

The point of this is not to prove I'm right, but to rather enlighten you all, so if there are mistakes in our initial theories, let's build upon it Zoth. And thanks for the intellectual prodding.
