Thread: The Confident Knowing Technique

Aha, I have talked about this a little in my RC's and DILD guide but I will elaborate more.

The confident knowing technique, or CKT for short. This technique is a easy and simple way (but you need a great perspective memory) to get a lucid dream.

First off, what is it?
CKT is a component of MILD but more specific. Think of it this way, you know you're gonna get a lucid dream as much as you know you can move your finger right now.

Is it effective?

For sure! Infact, I have been testing it out haha. Last 2 nights, spring break right? Fell asleep late and did no reality checks.
I said to myself things like "I know I am going to get a lucid dream, subconscious" and stuff like that. I started thinking of what to do in my Lucid Dream that I knew I was going to get.
That night, I got a lucid dream.
Next night, did the same thing. No reality checks, journal, nothing. TWO lucid dreams my friend!

Well I want in, how to though?

First, I would suggest a journal but this is really just a technique if you are craving a lucid suddenly.
Second, same thing with journal but with Reality Checks. Basically for both, not required but helps.

Now, go to bed. Well, while your in bed start thinking these three things.
"I am going to get a lucid tonight subconscious, for a fact"
"Get ready to make my LD subconscious, for tonight" and
"Hmm, what should I do with my lucid dream tonight?
Do this part before you go to bed, and try to keep dreamy thoughts the whole time.
Repeat this step and/or after you wake up in the night and is falling back asleep. (Infact you could convert this to a DEILD or WILD)

Simple as that! Also, if you're a perfectionist then of course you can tweak ALL of these things.

So go ahead, maybe you can get a quick lucid tonight

Sounds great! Confidence is, in my opinion, one of the key factors for lucid dreaming. I'll need to have a little change in mindset then... Lucids, here I come!

I like this. There's a lot of energy behind that kind of stance, more so then one that includes the expectation(assumption even) of likely failure. It's just 100%, "It is happening TONIGHT", there is zero thought given or considered for any other potential outcome.

I could see this really working well if you actually put time and energy into it on a consistent basis. It needs to build momentum and snowball.
