To me it seems more fun this way as the goal isnt to just become lucid but to also see the elephant as that will tick the mantra box to conclude that it works.... |

Thoughts?? Strange thing is that i never see elephants in my dreams but if i constantly say this to myself everynight for a month i should then hopefully dream of an elephant which would get me lucid. |

Well, it's worth a try because you never know if something like that would work. It could be a good experiment and there's nothing to lose. Plus, if you think it's fun, it's more likely to be successful. |

When it comes to trying to dream about something, I think imagining that something is happening is more effective than simply saying it will later on. You're more engaged with the subject this way. |

Thats a good point so maybe elephants flying would be worth thinking of as i could imagin them like cabs for people to ride. |

You have a very good point.....the one thing i know is that even tho my dreams are vivid they are also quiet basic...meaning ill be shopping with my family or fighting with friends......so hopefully something very different should trigger me...lets hope lol thanx for the reply =₩ |

Ideally you want your mantra to refer to the present rather than the future. When your mind is on the future, you're disregarding the present. For example, if you see an elephant in a dream and think, "next time I see elephants I'll realize I'm dreaming" you won't become lucid until you think, "I'm seeing an elephant. I'm dreaming." |

I had to laugh seeing the title of your post. One of my spontaneous LDs was caused by seeing elephants in a dream. They were a train of three, the one behind holding the tail of the one in front. What made me LD was that they were in a city and crossing a road. The front one looked at me than backed up, which looked really funny and odd. I became lucid because they sort of bumped into each other as the front one reversed and it looked so absurd! |
