Instant lucidity possible?

[DCK7]

People always want instant lucidity, but I haven't seen or heard of anyone that has this ability. Personally, I don't think you can have instant lucidity. Just wondering what everyone else thinks about instant lucidity. Is it possible or not?

You'll have to define what you mean here. Do you mean learning how to do it instantly, or achieving it the moment you fall asleep?

In general, instant lucidity is the ability to have a lucid dream whenever you want. If I wanted one right now I could have one right now. As for the orginal question I was asking if this is possible for anyone. I guess the question about whether this ability can be learned or not is another good question too.

Assuming we're talking about doing this while we're asleep and already dreaming, then I'd have to say yes, it's possible. I'm pretty sure that many people are pretty close to that ideal already.

If you have enough experience you should be able to have lucid dreams at will. I'm reading Stephen LaBerge's book "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming" and he mentions that he can have lucid dreams whenever he wants

If you have enough experience you should be able to have lucid dreams at will. I'm reading Stephen LaBerge's book "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming" and he mentions that he can have lucid dreams whenever he wants I've never read his book, but does the book mention what technique the author uses to have a lucid dream? Generally speaking, I have one lucid dream per night . It is my goal to find a technique to have a lucid dream at will. Any suggestions?

I guess if you center your life around lucid dreaming, you'll be able to have them whenever you want. Besides, I bet all those buddhist monks or the tibetan dream yogists can do it. I really don't see a reason for it to be impossible.
