So, I had a thought about a lucid induction method, and wondered if anyone has tried it or at least given some thought to it:
What if, while lucid, you instructed a dream character to come back to you in every dream, and inform you that you're dreaming? Would it work?
(is this in the wrong place?)
I have in fact tried this technique before. I did not have much success with it. I believe it did not work well due to the fact that our dream characters are tied to our consciousness as well. In order for a dream character to make our unconscious self aware of the fact that we are dreaming, that dream character (part of our mind) would have to be semi lucid already. I have a dream character named Charles that frequents in my dreams on an almost nightly basis. Despite our growing "friendship" he has yet to help me achieve lucidity. We have discussed the topic in great detail and devised elaborate plans that never seem to work!
I do believe however that it is possible to train our mind to train our dream characters to give us dream signs. This would take a great amount of training and the use of the most common dream characters that individual encounters. Anything is possible :)
