I independently reached the conclusion that PM exercises work because of the increased awareness that they entail. So round and round we go. Frankly I don't care, I just want the LDs.

p.s. I'd like to see the promised improved MILD (did I miss it?) Is it to incubate your dreamsigns? I thought of that, too, before, and had some success with it but have not continued it for some reason.

p.p.s. So like LaBerge, you've found a "framing" that makes sense to you, so you're looking to explain the universe of LDing with PM as the first cause. My point is that there are a *number* of interacting causes, and trying to define one in terms of the others leads to circular reasoning. But in the end it's all just opinions. But hey I'll be happy to jump on the PM bandwagon if I can get lucid all night every night.
