Thread: Question about belief in LD’ing

The way I do it, is I see it a little bit as if you were in a city you don't know and you're trying to get to your hotel. You have no idea how you will get there but that doesn't matter, you just will (and it's true). So I just tell myself I am going to lucid dream and if I don't, it's like I didn't quite get to the hotel, but I just need to ask someone else for direction (try the next day), and I'm just getting closer no matter what. There is no stress, I am enjoying all the non-lucids on the way, and my waking life too, just like a tourist can enjoy all the things he didn't plan to see when he got lost. So, there's no stress, but there's confidence, that you will end up to the hotel after your detour.

Metaphors really help me believe/genuinely feel certain emotional states.
