You guys don't seem to be doing so well after all those attempts.. <.< |
|
you are right mimihigurashi! |

I see, if vividness is increasing, that's good, though one thing I'd like to point out.. You say you want to LD via other methods than WILD to kind of prove to yourself that you can be a 'real' lucid dreamer? That sounds great but doesn't failing to get lucid with the same techniques after trying many times have a negative effect on your confidence? I know it would have an effect on mine.. Confidence plays a big role in success at LDing, and usually when you don't manage to get lucid after trying hard, your confidence drops, which in turn lessens your chances of lucidity, which in turn again decreases your confidence, you know what I mean? Like a negative loop feeding into itself. That's a dangerous thing to fall into. |

Oh thank you very much for your tips... |

You're welcome, glad I could help ^_^ |

I agree your opinions...those times i practiced ADA, only my dream vividness and recall have boosted but nothing special about LD...people are different...maybe ADA works best for some of them.... |
|
Well, as with most things about LDing, I don't think there is a 'best' method, things work differently for different people. Honestly, I find it kinda hard to accurately explain self awareness, but I'll try, and I haven't found many tutorials on it either. Which is a shame because I think it's very important for both triggering and maintaining lucid dreams. Yes, doubting your current reality is good, RC every 10 minutes is a bit overkill though, lol. |

You could try a mixture of ADA and self awareness? ADA to increase vividness and recall, and self awareness for lucidity. There's nothing wrong with doing both, I reckon. |

Dear mimihigurash! Thanks for your guidance! so i think it's better to start like this: |
|
Gee, last night was kinda zany.. I couldn't fall asleep for two hours, I had two OBEs at 2 am, and then couldn't fall asleep for another two hours, and then almost had another one in the late morning XD I never thought I could OBE without any sleep prior.. Anyway, back on topic. |
|
I have heard OBE unlike LD is not depended on theta brain waves (which appears with maximum length after hours of sleep). for example, professional runners feel they are out of body after long runs. also in book of astral dynamic, it was mentioned that OBE and astral projection can occur while we are awake. even some astral travelers can astral project and experience OBE while they are doing simple jobs in waking life. but LD mostly occur when we are sleeping and our brain wave must be at theta state... |
|
I'm pretty sure you can reach theta with deep relaxation, which is what I was doing last night, my body was very relaxed for a long time but I couldn't fall asleep mentally, probably because of the silly mp3 I made, so it's likely I got to theta and OBE'd because my body was asleep but my mind awake. |
