Thread: Secret to frequent lucid dreaming (supposedly)

subject. Most subjects who consistently follow the above advice experience at least one lucid dream every night.»

Say they do this for six months. I'd be very very surprised if more than 30 percent are having LDs every night. If the route to having LDs every night was regularly asking the CC then there'd only need to be a couple of paragraphs written on LDs - not the scores of websites and books we have now. SLaB has to carefully choose his statistics to make LDing look easier than it really is or nobody would buy his books.

It was actually Paul Tholey, not LaBerge, who claimed that and he is referring to his 9-step technique, known for Critical-Reflective Technique. It is much more elaborate than a simple critical question.
