At first I was thinking of writing detailed comment about techniques, but this sentence made me change my mind.

This is a question people come up with very often.
There is nothing like 'the easiest method'. You have to be motivated to have a lucid dream, work on your dream recall, start doing reality checks etc.

The easiest method for one person might be an impossible method for another, it really comes down to you deciding which one suites you best.

You will not learn how to become lucid from scratch in one post, Mogo; it simply does not work that way.

That said, given the brief summary of your needs, it looks like you should start by trying to become lucid through DILD, perhaps starting with MILD as your technique. I would link you to a DILD tutorial in the DVA forum, but you're not interested in that. So I hope you'll check it out on your own, and come eventually to understand that you won't learn to become lucid from the information in a single post on a website.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that there is no easiest method; the method you use is one of choice, personal needs, and timing; not of quality.

The easiest one is SSILD which works good for many people although suddenly it stops working for many of them too! Ha ha

WBTB + MILD seems like a pretty solid combo for most people.

We all have our own methods. We worked them out after reading pretty much every tutorial known to man. Then I listened to advice of experienced LDers and newbies to start with a DILD/MILD. I tried and realized that some things will work for me and some will not. So as I practiced, I adjusted my method. I still keep adjusting it, because LDing is a work of art, rather than strict steps to follow for everybody the same way.

It can be a long process, but you will succeed, if you have a will and determination. If you want this and you are willing to do your homework and read everything you can. And then practice. Good luck.

Nobody is gonna retype their "method" and define what every acronym means just so you don't have to look them up. There are tons of tutorials and methods here, so try reading them first and then asking questions.

I think we do help you, a lot actually.

The way you think you will learn becoming lucid is wrong and you will fail if you don't listen to what we say.

This. While I was fortunate enough to have a lucid on my first night of trying, and eventually get to a point of having multiples nightly, it caught up to me and I relaxed on the habits and attitudes that got me there. Now I haven't had but two in the past 2.5 years.

Browse the crap out of this forum. Not only will you soak up a lot of information if you can filter the experienced from the inexperienced posters and weigh their advice proportionally (there is a ton of misinformation around here), but just BEING on DreamViews all day may give you what you need to LD. I had over 72 posts per day at my peak, and I was lucid dreaming several times nightly just because I was thinking about it all day from being on here so much.

For me, and many others, successful LDing is dependent on your motivation and exposure, rather than any complicated techniques. (Though RCs and general awareness are still helpful )

There are really only 2 "methods" (or WAYS is probably a better word here), and the rest basically fall under one or the other:

DILD - Dream Induced Lucid Dream
WILD - Wake Induced Lucid Dream

You either find a way to become lucid while already in a dream, or find a way to go from awake to immediately in a lucid dream once you fall asleep. There are many approaches to both. Reading about them and combining other members' experiences with your own is the best way to "write your own way" as it were. I know you don't want links, but you should really read about the basic lucid dreaming methods in the Start Here section. That's why we have it

Hi Again,

Anyways mogo there's one unfortunate thing about lucid dreaming
It's personally varianted stuff

So if one person can get easily lucid dreams from one technique then there's chance that other people won't or they will likely struggle with it.
That's why people rather offer you link to few guides than write down their techniques.
Those guides or tutorials were wrotten mostly in that way so they could work for most people.
Example WILD Guide Written For All:
1. WBTB (Wake up 3 - 8 hours after falling asleep, you need to figure out your perfect timing)
2. Get Up (Get up or don't get up. This will more than likely help you stay conscious, from no time to 50 minutes of staying away from bed till trying wild)
3. Relax (Just get in comfortable position in which you sleep)
4. Wait till transition, and if you will regain consciousness then more than likely lucid dream will succeed

That was example guide written for all
And here will go example personal guide:
1. Wake up after 8.5 hours of sleep
2. Stay awake for 15 minutes
3. Get back to bed
4. Sleep on back
5. Wait till sensing vibrations and when they happpen visualize dream scene to enter it

That was example personal guide
And it is more likely to fail than previous one
Since some people won't be able to sleep longer than 7 - 8 hours
And some might be unable to fall asleep on back or be uncomfortable

That's the example difference

Since we all lived and experienced different stuff the lucid dreaming wil work different for us.
If lucid dreaming learning would be as simple as learning mathematical patterns and then using them then there wouldn't be so many tutorials and different approaches
There would be small amount of them and there would be probably one technique that is most effective and would be used by all

- Hopefully i've helped you understand stuff
