Iv been away from lucid dreaming for the past 4months due ti christmas and life in general but now im back and iv been trying something new that so far has gave me good success.
I watched a video where stephen laberge mentioned having the right mindset before sleeping...ofcourse before you do this u need to make sure your recall is good and a decent level of waking awareness.
So last night i said to myself in a mantra type way but not *due to it bieng too long* im going to sleep now...if i find myself with people then i know that i am.dreaming.....if i find myself outside or anywhere that isnt my bed then i will know that its a dream. Then once i woke at 6am i had my first LD in a while.....i then told it myself again during my afternoon nap and yet again i had another.
I used to have a feeling of doubt anytime i would try mantras and maybe thats why it wouldnt work before....maybe instead of short mantras just talk to yourself in a positive way? Eneways just sharing my success and hope all the LDers on this site are all good and happy =)
