Thread: next LD

Use the technique that you find easiest...or that will produce an LD for you consistently...then branch out once you have buckled down on at least one technique. But it is always good to try something new.

Yeah, for example I'm trying DILD because my mind has to drift to go to sleep and I don't think techniques where you have to do something while falling asleep would work. Someone might try self suggestion if they think they have a good amount of will power. You could try HIT if you experience a lot of HI. Just read the tutorials on all of them and pick the one that sounds easiest to you personally. If there's a problem with it, move on to another technique for now, if you want to try again later, do so. It's all up to you.

I would use self-suggestion and frequent good RCs (you have to explain to yourself why you're not dreaming, don't just look at your fingers absently or you might not realize you have 8 fingers (this hasn't happened to me though)). I combine the two, and everytime I RC i tell myself that next time I dream I will get Lucid. It has worked pretty well, producing 1-2 LDs per week since I started, though my recall sucks ass, so I only even remembered I had the one a few days later when I was reading a thread related to what I did (controll lights). Sadly, none of them have gone higher than high low-level, but with every LD it improves.
