How I induced LD last night
Last night I was thinking of some things I could do to improve my RC-ing, and I already had made a little fluorescent pink post-it note that says "Are you dreaming?" to carry around, and I thought maybe I would stick these all around the house. I told my partner about this, so he would know what was going on with the little signs. He is not into LD, he calls it "Lurid Dreaming", he says I am bothering him and waking him up and since I use a voice recorder to remember my dreams he says it sounds like I am making Blair Witch Project in bed at night. Anyway, after I told him about the pink signs and he was mocking the whole thing, to tease him I was telling him all about RC's, and I went through breathing while holding your nose, looking at your hands and seeing six fingers, poking your finger through your other hand, flying, etc. I got my voice recorder and I said into it " Tonight you will realize you are dreaming" and other such things and I was playing it back at him. Then, we went to bed and early this AM I had an LD.
I have been doing MILD without a lot of succes, but I think the difference this time was doing it out loud. Even though I was doing it to tease him (and I thought it might actually work for him and then he would see that LD is cool) I was thinking at the same time this may work for me....and it did! (The dream was really not that great but it was LD) Hope this helps somebody.!
P.S. I really like my little voice recorder, much easier than writing at night.

LOL - sounds like something my husband would say :roll:
Well, congrats on the LD! That's great! :D The key to LDing is finding whatever technique works best for you, and it sounds like you have. This is a perfect example to show people that everyone is different so things work differently for everyone. Inducing LDs is more trial-and-error than anything, so I'm glad to hear you're tweaking your technique to make it work for you. Well done! :goodjob2:
