Thread: So Good....

I've managed to LD again (after 3 weeks of near-to-nothingness) ! It lasted about 3 seconds but I managed to calm myself down.....I'm proud !

My approach the evening before was different: I watched Matrix 2 and Terminator 3, so I was in this ''I'm invincible mood" which a friend suggested (he LDs nearly naturally...). And before going to bed I "knew" I was going to LD (or told myself I was going to...without forcing my brain or anything).
And TADAA... it worked....(in my dream I was jumpiing all around and at one point I suggested myself: "why not try to jump really high", which I did and realised I was dreaming....)

Anyway, just to say: no need to force yourself to have a LD, just feel like you can do anything (maybe not all day but before going to bed, even if it's funny people ask you "what are you doing" - "oh...I'm just trying to fly" ).
Cheers

very cool, congrats on finding what works for you!

Hi...yeah I agree with U completely, I will usually 'know' when I will be having LDs that night. Trick is to set up the conducive environment or mood for it for example some special lighting effects in the room, nice smelling air fresheners..etc. But movies don't work so well for me...I tend to over do them... It also helps if U set lucid targets beforehand like somewhere near Ur house first.

I had that and that was my first LD i thaught "i don't need to have a lucid dream tonight, it would be nice but i don't mind."

then i had 1. it was cool but i didn't do anything.. i just didn't know were to start.
i will have another one though.
