Thread: BE a Lucid Dreamer

I really wasn't so much making an argument against technique because this would be absurd since anything we do to obtain a LD is a technique. It can't be gotten around. I was more trying to argue that we need a different mindset.

Exactly. EamonWill, I just wanted to drop by to tell you that this "Be a Lucid Dreamer" "technique" does work. I believe I told you this earlier. For the past few nights I have been getting Lucid dreams by doing literally nothing except dream journaling to remember them. Always believe in yourself man, just because they say you can't do it, doesn't mean you can't. Their disbelief gives you an even better reason to succeed to show them that anything is possible.

Thanks, lol. I'm glad this is working for someone other than just myself. I haven't had that many LD lately (I kinda fell off the wagon, not that I wan't going through the motions of trying, but it wasn't authentic) but the ones I have had are my best yet. Vivid, long, calm, happy, and very nice DCs!!! I have more confidence and less doubt and that is exactly the key. I had to change my mindset.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can prove it to anyone. If anyone is convinced that this won't work for them, it won't. Point blank. You can't change your mindset if you aren't willing.

Btw, two LDs this morning broke my dry spell! Yay! It wasn't from my technique, or any technique I've heard of. It was like WILD, and I've been doing this ever since I tried SSILD, but it's not either. I will be dreaming, non-lucid, and then the dream will end and as it ends I will go through hynogogic like sensations. I will feel my body vibrate and see flashing lights. I don't realize I was just dreaming, but I do immediately gain lucidity and I believe that I'm falling asleep and entering a dream. The first time I woke up, but this morning I actually did just transition into a "lucid FA." Basically, I entered a new dream where I felt myself in bed. I knew it was probably a FA so I waited for the dream to stabilize. I felt confident when I felt myself drift out of bed and float down to hover just over the floor, lol. I did a RC and confirmed it. I went about my LD. Then as this LD ended I felt the same vibrations and saw the same lights so I held lucidity again and went into another lucid FA and had another LD. This is really cool because it's a great way to learn how to WILD/SSILD (if you are like me and have never been successful), it's a great way to enjoy lucid nREM, and it's a great way to chain LD. Don't know if anyone has done this before but I would call it "Dream Transition Induced Lucid Dreaming" or DTILD. After a quick internet search revealed nothing, and I'm pretty confident I know most techniques, I don't think anyone is talking about this yet! They should, it's awesome!
