ADA - All Day Awareness and the DILD

[Chewnie91]

Hello everyone, this was posted quite some time ago by another person whom I cannot remember. Just bringing it back into light for anyone who is interested in DILD and would like to become more successful with it All day awareness is the pinnacle of lucid dreaming once mastered. You can make every dream of every night a lucid dream through this method. Too good to be true? Allow me to explain. The basis of this technique is learning to notice/acknowledge every little detail throughout the day; in periods. What I mean by this is taking notice of your lungs expanding as you take a deep breathe, feel the metal door knob as you reach to open the door, watch the way the sunlight creates and casts shadows, notice the different smells and sounds you acknowledge during the course of the day. These are just a few of the millions of details we take for granted. The key? Do not try to focus on these ALL DAY LONG literally. You will wear you brain out. Take it slow, start off doing 5 minute periods through the day when you find the time is right. Just really sit down and take in every detail of your surroundings. This habit will transfer into your dreams, similar to a reality check, however with this method the dream itself will become a dream sign, hence making every dream lucid. Slowly increase the intervals, and the key to this method is PRACTICE and PERSISTENCE. You must stick with it. This technique will make you more aware of the oddities that occur in dreams (without the actual presence of a dream sign). It will also greatly increase the vividness of your dreams (and I mean drastically!). I have been at it for a little over a week and achieved 4 lucid dreams through DILD. 2 of them I didnt event have to perform a reality check! I just suspected and knew it was a dream. It is a very powerful technique that I just wanted to bring back up for anyone struggling with DILD or not having luck with the other primary methods
