Thread: 2.5 years without a lucid dream, would love your help!

Don't get too hung up on performing techniques, they are just different ways to become lucid that happen to have names.
In short, the main goal in any technique is to be more aware and prepared for the next dream.
I think that this is what you should concentrate on - what can you do in order to bring your questioning attitude to your surroundings into a dream?
Try experimenting with different methods, and try out techniques if you feel like it.

In my opinion, one of the simplest "techniques" is to just decide for yourself to realise that you are dreaming the next time you are dreaming - in other words, you prepare yourself during the days and then fall asleep with the intention to go "hey, this is a dream!" when you start dreaming.
I am not sure what kind of technique this is, but it's probably MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams, a technique where you use your intention and prospective memory to remember to become lucid).
The lucid dreaming researcher Stephen Laberge used this technique a lot for three years for his dissertation study about lucid dreaming, and he managed to go from about one lucid dream oer week to one almost every night in three years.
I think he also used other methods as well, like writing down his dreams in as much detail as possible so that he could more easily remember his lucid dreams, always looked for signs that could mean he was dreaming etc.

I saw ur post and couldnt resist helping out a fellow fan ^__^

A nice trick to boost your chances is to take some galantamine. My favorite brand is one called galantamind. I get mine at iherb.com and it's very helpful for a decent price. I personally got many lucids using galantamine with some of my other routines.


You are on the right track as WBTB is probably your best bet as far as LDing techniqes go.

But dont forget to add a proper Reality Check to the mix. If you do a reality check like poking your finger through a wall you will be aware you are dreaming when it works.


Finally everything i mentioned above is more of a cheap trick to get a quick LD while you have a time limit goal. If you really want to master Lucid Dreaming it will come down to dedicating time to techniques like All Day Awareness: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...kingyoshi.html, or Dream Yoga: Dream Yoga in order to have consistent lucid dreams. Also don't forget to eat healthy, exercise and get a proper 8hrs of sleep for optimal results! Sounds cheesy but it's crucial!


Success to you Nakama,
