Ok so I understand that as part of the lucid mindset, you need to have confidence in your ability to LD as well -- knowing you can and will LD without a trace of doubt in your mind. This really makes sense, as your subconscious mind will likely fulfill your expectations in the absence of any “bad schema” which tells you that LD’ing is difficult (which is probably one of the biggest obstacles to lucidity -- your subconscious perceives it as being difficult).

But how does one just believe and know they will LD? It can be very difficult, especially if you haven’t had much success with it in the past. It may be a difficult question but could anyone offer any tips/ suggestions?
