Hi Fryingman,

Oh so you've been trying the same thing without much success, that's interesting. Maybe it's just one of those things that might work for some and not as well for others, like you say something to do with different brain chemistry.

I find it easy to incorporate things into my Dreams, even without trying things get incorporated into them. When I watch a film or good TV show I'll very regularly have at least one Dream the same night that when I wake, think oh I Dreamt that because of that film I watched yesterday.
Just a couple of days ago I had a Lucid where I was walking and talking to a DC and when we turned a corner there was a large Aztec looking pyramid type building that isn't there in real life, as soon as I saw it I knew it was because I'd seen a very similar building on Game Of Thrones earlier that day.

The funny thing is though and I only realized this the other day.... I started smoking at a young age and smoked everyday for years up until a few months ago when I gave up and when I thought about it, realized I'd never had a single Dream where I've been smoking! I then thought about any other habits I might have to see if I've ever Dreamt about doing them, all I could think of was that I bite my finger nails and again, when I thought about it couldn't recall ever doing so in a Dream. That's a good reason to make sure RCing doesn't become to much of a habit so it doesn't suffer the same fate.



Hi Fogel thanks mate, good to see you again.

Oh cool, what question was that on 100% Lucidity?

I've been on here for a while now but sort of come and go, I'll post for a while and then not come on for sometimes a year then come back, don't know why really just the way I roll lol.

Yeah I pretty much took to LDing like a Duck to water, had my first intentional Lucid on only my third night, then had 3 in my first week! So was very lucky with them. I had had a few as a little kid but only very short ones and just assumed they were freak occurrences, always had lots of very vivid Dreams though.


Step by step what I do is.....

I'll get up and at some point not long after I'll think of 3 things to try to remember with PM, for instance I'll think "I'll remember the next time I hear a Dog Bark" I'll really try to ingrain it into my Brain by saying it internally a couple of times and I'll also imagine hearing a Dog Bark as I say it.
Then I'll think something like "I will remember the next time I see a Aircraft" (I live near a flight path so often see them) and again really try to get it in there by saying it 2 or 3 times with conviction and again try to imagine seeing an aircraft to ingrain it even more.
Then I'll do the same with a third thing, either seeing/hearing something you think you have a good chance of seeing/hearing that day. Obviously you then change the 3 things each day so they don't become to familiar but I will often use some of the same things after a week or so otherwise after a while it will be hard to think of new things you're likely to see/hear.

Hopefully then when you see or hear the thing you've tried to remember it will click in and you'll remember wanting to see/hear that and that's a successful PM. At first though a lot of the time you won't click on when you see/hear the thing as your PM isn't up to scratch and later you'll think of PM and realize you've seen/heard something you wanted to remember but missed it, after a while though you'll find you click on more and more and that is your PM getting better.

Along with this I've also been RCing when ever I realize I'm in different surrounding to try and get me some more DILDs like I've wrote in my first post and that's all I do for the day.

At night I'll then fall to sleep as usual not trying to Lucid Dream but just fall to sleep so I'll lay on my side. I'll often wake after most REM cycles and then go over the Dream I've just had in my head and go back to sleep, sometimes turning on my back giving me a chance of a natural DILD.
I'll then wake at the same time every morning about an hour before I get up, turn on my back if I'm not on it already and try to MILD (I don't get up for WBTB as I used to as even though I could guarantee a Lucid by getting my Brain very active It sometimes took to long getting back to sleep) I then say to myself with conviction (just like when I'm doing PM) "I will remember the next time I'm Dreaming" and internally say it few times in a row, I'll then only say once every minute or so until I drift off
If I feel I'm to awake though and that it will take ages to fall to sleep, after saying it around once every minute a few times I'll then know it's ingrained and just concentrate on relaxing and letting myself drift off.

One other thing that often happens which I'd forgotten about until it happened this morning is that when my mind is to active and It's a little difficult falling to sleep, I'll often end up having a WILD from doing this. As I say this happened this morning and as I was getting the very loud buzzing in my ears and falling sensation I thought of something I'd read on this Forum ages ago for some reason, about someone hearing blood curdling screams as they went through this, obviously thinking of that made it happen and it was pretty creepy lol, I lost the vibrating sensations and thought I'd blown it.
Feeling like I'm laying in bed awake I think to myself "Didn't get Lucid tonight then" then think "at least I got WILD sensations, I'll try to get up and check just in case" when I do I realize I'm not in Bed but getting up off the ground in my back garden and then realize I didn't blow it after all lol.



Hi Nift.

Yeah what I do for PM is the same as what LaBerge talks about in His Book, from what I can remember anyway, I've written step by step above so hope it helps.



Thanks everyone, any other questions feel free to ask.
