Thread: Easiest way to get quickest results? New study of 44,742 participants

I am finding some additional research that may add to this discussion and I will report back on that soon. For now, I wanted to clarify a couple of things that I left out of the OP due to posting it hastily while on my way out the door that day, thus the "to be continued" notation.

I should have included discussion that I believe that most people would be best served by including a number of additional "tried and true" approaches to maximize their chances of having consistent lucid dreams and achieving a high level of lucidity. Self talk, once the optimal wording is figured out, does seem to be one of the easiest methods to use. Although I can see optimally constructed self talk alone allowing you to become lucid through an easy to duplicate practice, I am quite certain that the results will be significantly multiplied and magnified with the addition of practices like WBTB and properly done RC's and RRC's (helps with memory and self awareness) during waking hours.

I am also not happy about wording of the "lucid dreaming examples" in my 2nd post. The first example in my 2nd post was converting the study's "self talk - outcome" example to lucid dreaming and it just sounds odd to me. That is not to say that an example that sounds the best or worst to the individual is the best or worst. As a matter of fact, there is one study that tested two opposite styles of self talk and the best one, according to the results, will likely surprise you (more to come on that). The second example in my post is a little closer to what is commonly suggested to use and the third one was just an idea converted from a common positive affirmation.

@TheApprentice and @andrunoyola - Thank you for contributing to the discussion! I like both of your examples. I will try to add more thoughts soon.
